That’s right! You’ve seen us hint about it on social media, seen the announcement of the release date (September 3rd! Just over a week away!), but now it’s time to reveal the gorgeous cover and official blurb for The Skylark’s Sacrifice, book two in J.M. Frey’s YA action-adventure, steampunk-infused Skylark’s Saga.

This is a personal favorite of our Acquisitions & Editorial Director, and we think you’ll be equally stunned by the soaring conclusion to Robin’s tale. Get ready for more heart-pounding adventure, epic aerial stunts, and swoon-worthy, enemies-to-lovers romance, but first—treat yourself to this little visual:

Robin Arianhod is on the run. Trapped behind enemy lines, her only choice is to lose herself in the sprawling capital of Klonn. But hiding in the shadows is a disservice to the rocket pack she escaped with, and to the man she once considered foe. Instead, she’ll enact his plan, harness the incredible power of the pack, and stop the war from the inside.

Wanted posters stalk her every move as rumor fuels the Skylark’s rise, and her attempts at vigilantism attract the attention of more than just the city guards. Robin finds herself embroiled in the machinations of a mysterious underground rebellion—Klonnish citizens as tired of the war as she is.
 
But are they really her allies, or are they using the Skylark as bait? And can she really trust that her former archnemesis turned his coat? Or will the secret of his true identity lead Robin, and her newfound friends, to their deaths?

Rife with high-flying action, subterfuge, and deception, The Skylark’s Sacrifice is the explosive conclusion to the saga of war-torn Saskwya, and the one pilot who can change it all.

Isn’t that cover amazing? And guess what—you can pre-order your copy today!

We at REUTS are thrilled to announce three wonderful new books coming at you this spring:

A Soul To Take, by Emily Taylor (April 4th, 2017) is a futuristic New Adult urban fantasy. Agent-in-training Elixia knows firsthand the bloodthirst of the demons now being integrated into society. When a mission sours and her sister is caught in the crossfire, her only option is a taboo that goes against everything she believes in. (Cover reveal tomorrow!)

A Chosen War, by Carly Eldridge (April 25th, 2017) is a New Adult fantasy. All Maia wants is to be a photographer, not to take Mother Nature’s place as a guardian of the Earth. After the rogue Nature kills her parents, though, Maia’s only path to justice–for her parents and the planet–is to fight for this unasked-for destiny.

Roses, by Melinda Michaels (May 16th, 2017) is a grim Young Adult fairytale retelling, a follow-up to Michaels’ debut Golden, this time tackling a wolf at the door. After the brutal murder of her grandmother, Poppy is certain she’s next. Under the protection of Detective Owen Peirce, a not-so-charming prince with a knack for always being right, Poppy must go into hiding and try to figure out who is after her before the shadow finally catches up.
