I couldn't help myself when I was asked to help with the reveal of A.G. Henley's follow-up novel to The Scourge. I love zombies. And I loved this author's take on them even more. Without further ado, behold the cover of The Defiance, book #2 in the Brilliant Darkness series:

Here's the blurb:
THE DEFIANCE (Brilliant Darkness, #2)
Suspicion Trust. Fear Compassion. Hate Love.
Fennel and Peree learned the truth: the Scourge, and their world, is not what it seems. Now they need to convince their people that everything they believe is a lie.
An impossible task, especially when someone seems resolved to try anything—even arson and butchery—to destroy Fenn and Peree’s new bond and crush the frail truce between the Groundlings and the Lofties.
Unable to tell friend from foe and with the Scourge pushing both groups to the breaking point, Fenn must again decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to ensure the people of the forest’s future.
Only this time, the price of peace may be too high to bear.

About the author:A.G. Henley is the author of the BRILLIANT DARKNESS series. Her first book, THE SCOURGE, was a finalist for the 2013 Next Generation Indie Book Award.
A.G. is also a clinical psychologist, which means people either tell her their life stories on airplanes, or avoid her at parties when they've had too much to drink. Neither of which she minds. When she's not writing fiction or shrinking heads, she can be found herding her children and their scruffy dog, Guapo, to various activities while trying to remember whatever she's inevitably forgotten to tell her husband. She lives in Denver, Colorado.

Even though I still need to get round to reading The Scourge (which I purchased many, many moons ago) I still really like this cover. I think it is my favorite in the series so far.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great cover! I love the look of a strong couple.
