PROTECTOR–(To be published 7th January 2013 with Lyrical Press, Inc.)
Young Adult, Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance
To love and protect…across worlds.
Eighteen-year-old Faith Stryker is prepared to leap out into the unknown world beyond her home shores of New Zealand to experience life. Only she never expected to encounter Magio, a planet with two warring countries, where its people reach adulthood at eighteen by coming into their strength and prophetic abilities. Only after Faith discovers she’s a halfling–thanks to her warrior father she’s never met–does her own skill of forethought develop.
Peacio’s Prince Davio Loveria is sent to the young Faith Stryker by his grandfather, but not all goes as planned. Davio discovers Faith isn’t just a halfling, she’s also his soul-bound mate–an intense relationship he cannot, nor will not, give up.
With two wars now waging…one of land and the other of the heart…can the young lovers find their place in the world?
I’m super excited to bring this cover art to you all. For me, this is a dream come true. Thanks everyone for joining me on my journey to publication.
It’s a lovely cover, simple and elegant. Congratulations on the next step in your writing and publishing process 🙂 xx
Wonderful cover image, Joanne! It’s really arresting.
I could wish the title was just a little larger. I can see why the artist liked that size. It suggests that the curl on the P grows right our of her hair, which is a cool effect. But with script fonts, especially thin ones, they can get lost if they’re not big.
Love it! The cover is stunning 🙂 Congrats Joanne!!
Beautiful cover! Congratulations, Joanne! 🙂
