Big changes are afoot in my young adult fiction world as I prepare to launch my werewolf hunter series (Oath Breaker and Oath Keeper) as a combined novel. After an exciting planning meeting with my publisher, we are replacing the two books in the series with a single volume. The new book has earned some interesting attention, which means I get to share Mia’s world with a new audience – this also means I get yet another fantastic cover!
It was a tough decision as I adore both covers in my series. However, once I saw the new shiny artwork (and shed a tear of happiness), I was won over.
Not only do I get to sing two-become-one at every opportunity, but I’m also going to be in hardback. I can’t tell you how excited I am about that – I get to appear on a dust jacket!
Want to see the new cover?
Just keep scrolling.
The blurb has been tweaked slightly, and we’ve got a brand new title so as not to confuse readers old and new.
Blurb:
Will she follow the pack…or destroy them?
A dead mother. A violent father. A missing brother.
When Mia’s father is murdered, it’s her estranged uncle that comes to the rescue, but what he offers her in return for his help could be worse than the life she is leaving behind.
Taken to Hood Academy, a unique school deep in the forest, she discovers friendships, love, and the courage to stand on her own.
Mia takes the oath that seals her future as a werewolf hunter, but not everyone wants Mia to succeed.
Screams in the night. Secret rooms. Hidden letters. Mia becomes an important piece in a game she doesn’t want to play.
Loyalty, friendships, and family bonds are tested as Mia discovers her true identity, but will the truth set her free, or will it destroy her?
Here’s what people are saying about the series:
