Hi guys! I hope you had / are having a good day, despite recent events. I don’t plan on going into detail because I prefer to keep politics off of my blog, but I have hope that we’ll get through it. ❤
Anyway, that’s all I want to say about that. On Monday I was contacted by the lovely Jaye, the marketing manager and publicist for Candy Atkins, author of The Lost Knight series. You might remember that I was sent the first book over the summer in exchange for an honest review, and I ended up falling in love with it. (If you so choose, you can read my review for it here.) I actually wasn’t aware, but the sequel, The Lost Girl, comes out on November 20th. I’m very excited for it, and was even more excited when Jaye offered to let me take part in the cover reveal! Of course, I accepted, and so that’s what I’m bringing you today.
Without further ado, let’s get into the fun stuff! 😉
In case you didn’t know, the cover for the first book looks like this:
And here’s the synopsis, courtesy of Goodreads:
How am I supposed to save the world when I’m not strong, not brave, not smart, and not particularly good at most things? I ran away from home the day after my thirteenth birthday when Auntie and her weird friend attacked me. Now I’m on the run with the Grim Reaper and a scary soldier. And I’m no longer on Earth. They were expecting me to be a Knight. The savior that’s supposed to stop a war and prevent the invasion to Earth. But I’m not. They grabbed the wrong girl. I just don’t know how to tell them.
I’ll be honest: when I first started reading, I didn’t expect much. But it’s an absolutely amazing YA indie fantasy, and if you haven’t read it, I highly recommend you do. 😀
Then there’s the synopsis for The Lost Girl, which only has me more excited to read it:
Warning: contains minor spoilers for the first book!
If Stratagor Ziras doesn’t kill me, my training program will!
Every day I wake up and go through the motions, but they’ve figured out that I’m not a Knight. I can’t ride, I can’t fight, I can’t do magic, and worst of all, I can’t see whatever it is I’m supposed to see in this stupid Orb.
Nothing is what it seems here. Everyone says they want what’s best for me, but who can I trust? The lying snake? The feathery crocodile trying to lock me away? The Queen who wants me dead? Or the devil himself?
I don’t know what I’m more afraid of—the enemies that have made several attempts on my life, or my allies now that they know they’ve made a huge a mistake.
End of synopsis.

ISN’T IT GORGEOUS?!?! *infinite heart eyes*
Sorry, I’m kind of in love. 😉
Seriously, though, that has to be one of the most beautiful covers I’ve ever seen.

I loved Cleo from the start, to be honest! I’m hopeful I’ll eventually like Magnus. I haven’t really liked him at all but I think he’s starting to lighten up. A little. Maybe. Hahaha. 😆
