Cover Lover features covers that catch my eye in some way, whether good or bad, and you’re very welcome to steal the header image and join in yourself. Link up your posts in the comments and I’ll come say hello! And yes, that is a rather naff rainbow-heart.
I have been in love with the cover for Geist since the very first time I saw it. It has pretty, magic, and a gorgeous giant lion. I know I had to read this one. Plus: steampunk fantasy.
Between the living and the dead is the Order of the Deacons, protectors of the Empire, guardians against possession, sentinels enlisted to ward off the malevolent haunting of the geists…
Among the most powerful of the Order is Sorcha, now thrust into partnership with the novice Deacon, Merrick Chambers. They have been dispatched to the isolated village of Ulrich to aide the Priory with a surge of violent geist activity. With them is Raed Rossin, Pretender to the throne that Sorcha is sworn to protect, and bearer of a terrible curse.
But what greets them in the strange settlement is something far more predatory and more horrifying than any mere haunting. And as she uncovers a tradition of twisted rituals passed down through the dark reaches of history, Sorcha will be forced to reconsider everything she thinks she knows.
And if she makes it out of Ulrich alive, what in Hell is she returning to?
What do you think of this one? Have you read it or any of Philippa’s other books?
Oooo pwetty lion. I have wanted my own lion every since laying eyes on Aslan in the BBC version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Your own lion? That’s quite a challenge!

I have to admit, my first thought was Aslan as well xD The book sounds awesome though! Did you get this one to review?

I fell in love the first time I saw this cover. It’s so gorgeous and eye-catching! I still need to pick it up, but I hope to read it somewhere this year. Great pick.

I fell in love with this cover from the minute I saw it! It is just so pretty. And the second book in the series has a gorgeous cover too. I haven’t read any of the authors books yet but I do have Phoenix Rising on my TBR shelf – it has a pretty snazzy cover as well
