Cover Reveal! - THE DARK HEART OF REDEMPTION by Darran M. Handshaw

 

Out of This World SFF is super excited to be hosting the official cover reveal for the upcoming standalone second book in Darran M. Handshaw's Chronicles of Actaeon, THE DARK HEART OF REDEMPTION! For those who are unfamiliar with Darran's first book The Engineer, it is a really engaging SF story that I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys higher level world-building, ancient artifacts, mysterious civilizations, and some romance mixed in for good measure. That book made me a big fan of Darran Handshaw's writing and that is why I am so pleased to be able to bring you the cover for his brand spanking new book (among other cool goodies he has provided me to share with you all). 

To start things off, let's read a short description of the new book, shall we?

Back Cover Blurb

"Some secrets are best left undiscovered."

Pyramid, the great heart of Redemption, lies under siege by tribal invaders that threaten to destroy the very civilization that the Dominions have created. The Engineer, Actaeon, leads a force of Raedelleans from the south, where they pause to investigate the secrets of abandoned Travail in search of aid for the battle to come. At the same time, the new Princess of Raedelle, Eisandre, sails down the River of Arches with her Thyrian allies to attack from the Great Sea to the west.

Travail's secrets are darker than expected, and the reason behind the Loresworn evacuation may soon spread to the rest of the city. Meanwhile, far to the north, Ajman and Shield fight over the lands of Czeryn, left desolate by an artifact that just might extinguish all life in the city at the hands of an unseen enemy known only as the Veiled One.

In his quest to save Redemption, will Actaeon be able to overcome the old enmity between the Dominions to unite against these threats? Or will all civilization fall, just as the Ancients had ages ago.

One thing is certain: in Redemption, everything comes with a cost.

Before I get to the grand reveal (I know, I know, you all hate me right now), I'd like to first show you the incredible map for this book. 

Why? Because maps are awesome, that's why!

Love that map! Okay, before you all begin throwing things at me, it is time for the moment that you have all been waiting for. Designed by mega talented illustrator Marcin Rubinkowski, here it is in all its glory....
