Release the Wolves: Cover Reveal
It’s herrrrre! My next fantasy book for young readers, Release the Wolves, has a cover, and it’s by none other than the great Rovina Cai. I’ve been a huge fan of her work for ages, so this art is an absolute dream.
Release the Wolves will be out June 25th, 2024, from Greenwillow Books / HarperCollins. It’s about monsters and mayhem, siblings and friendship and the end of the world. 🗡️
Here is the description from the publisher:
One thousand years ago, the Elduar conquered the country of Varen in a brutal war. Now, every few generations they subject their one-time enemies to a terrible tradition: bloodthirsty monsters are unleashed across the land, attacking indiscriminately, keeping the population in a perpetual dark age.
For Argo, fear of another Release is something he has always lived with. When his friend is killed by a monster during a routine patrol, Argo suspects that another Release is coming, and sooner than everyone expects. But in a country built on fear, getting answers is dangerous. Elduar spies are hiding behind the most familiar faces, and any hint of disobedience could lead to the death of thousands. As whispers of dissent circulate, rebellion grows in the villages. Now, Argo and his new ally, Ana—the King’s eldest daughter who is also a monster hunter in disguise—must decide whether or not to join the fight. But what if it’s already too late?
An atmospheric, suspenseful, and haunting novel about friendship, family, power, and the monsters all around us.
Here is the cover again in all its finery. Isn’t it stunning? I know it won’t be out for a bit, but it’s up for pre-order, and I hope you love it.
