I know this is late coming, lol, but:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a particular kind of nervous excitement that comes with writing a book \u2014 the long nights, the stubborn chapters, the scenes that suddenly click into place. But there\u2019s another moment that feels just as vulnerable and just as thrilling: showing you the cover for the very first time.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s that day.<\/p>\n

\u2728 Guardian Flame<\/em> <\/strong>\u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to the talented Natalie Narbonne at NMT Designs for this amazing piece of art. It captures the heart of the story in a way I didn\u2019t expect \u2014 the atmosphere, the tension, the spark that started this whole project. Seeing it come to life made everything suddenly feel real.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so proud (and a little terrified) to share the official cover for my newest novel:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When magic turns against its wielder, forgiveness becomes the deadliest trial of all.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

For six years, a voice inside his head has tormented him; growing louder, stronger, impossible to silence. Now Tyr is hanging by a thread, his fire magic spiraling out of control and his sanity slipping with it. Not even his family can pull him back from the edge.<\/p>\n

As Tyr\u2019s warring magic threatens to tear him apart from within, the Spirit of Fire appears with a chilling bargain:<\/p>\n

Come to my lands. Complete my trials. And I will fix what is breaking you.<\/em><\/p>\n

Trusting Tan may be Tyr\u2019s only chance at survival\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026or the quickest path to his destruction.<\/p>\n

Sheyna, Captain of the New City Fireguard, lives by one unbreakable creed:<\/p>\n

No one fights alone.<\/em><\/p>\n

So, when the Spirit of Water called in her life debt requesting she help Tyr; she jumps at the chance. Because he\u2019s the one person she\u2019d do anything to protect.<\/p>\n

Together they must journey into the lands of fire, face dangerous trials, and confront the volatile magic tearing Tyr apart from within.<\/p>\n

Balance demands a price.<\/p>\n

And this time\u2026<\/p>\n

The cost may be more than they can bear.<\/p>\n
