INTRODUCTION
I’m thrilled that Stephanie Cotta chose my blog to host her cover reveal of her next book in the Iron Kingdom series.

The much-loved young adult series began with The Conjurer’s Curse and was followed by The Wraiths of Arjun. The third book, The Ghosts of Gambit, is a gripping, pulse-pounding tale of rebellion, loyalty, and the high cost of defying a brutal empire. This action-packed story is rich with harrowing adventure, complex characters, heartfelt themes, and two no-spice swoony romances that will have you fighting over which couple to love more! Scroll down Gambit for pictures and information on each of the main characters.


Stephanie is a fellow Monarch Educational Press author and as I blogged earler this year, successfully introduced me to steam punk fantasy with her book, Heartsmith. She is not only an amazing author who weaves intricate, clean-reads fantasy stories, but she is an artist also. She designed her cover and the book includes several of her original illustrations.
CAN WE HAVE A DRUM ROLL?
Without further ado, here is the cover!
