Preorders for this gorgeous two volumes in one edition will officially launch on October 1st, with 50 numbered copies being made available and sold exclusively through the awesome Silverstones Books!

These special edition copies will also have stunning black sprayed edges and when you see them later on in the reveal, you are going to realize just how much you absolutely need this in your collection.

But before I get to showing you the dazzling new cover designed by Luke Tarzian himself, let me first give those unfamiliar with this series a brief synopsis of the two books:

BOOK 1: THE WORLD MAKER PARABLE

Guilt will always call you back...

Rhona is a faithful servant of the country Jemoon and a woman in love. Everything changes when her beloved sets the ravenous Vulture goddess loose upon the land. Forced to execute the woman she loves for committing treason, Rhona discovers a profound correlation between morality and truth. A connection that might save her people or annihilate them all.

You are a lie...

Varesh Lum-tale is many things, most of all a genocidal liar. A falsity searching for the Phoenix goddess whom he believes can help him rectify his atrocities. Such an undertaking is an arduous one for a man with missing memories and a conscience set on rending him from inside out. A man whose journey leads to Hang-Dead Forest and a meeting with a Vulture goddess who is not entirely as she seems.

BOOK 2: THE WORLD BREAKER REQUIEM

Prince of Woe...

Avaria Norrith is the adopted heir to the Ariathan throne. But that means little to a man who, for the better part of fifteen years, has sought and failed to earn his mother's love. Fueled by pride and envy, Avaria seeks the means to prove himself and cast away his mental chains. When he's tasked with the recreation of The Raven's Rage he sees his chance, for with the infamous blade he can rewrite history and start anew. 

Daughter of the Mountain...

Erath has not felt sunlight for a century. Not since Ariath condemned her people to a life of darkness with their misuse of The Raven's Rage. But when an old friend comes seeking the remnants of the ancient sword, Erath cannot contain her curiosity and resolves to lend her aid. Is it true - can history be revised? Can her people be reclaimed?

Toll the Hounds...

They are hungry - and they are here.

AND NOW..... for the exciting moment that we've all been waiting for.....

The absolutely spectacular cover for the exclusive edition of Luke Tarzian's ADJACENT MONSTERS!!!!

Full-spread view!

And let's see those black sprayed edges!

Wow! not too shabby huh?!!!

Here's what people are saying about the ADJACENT MONSTERS series....

"Beautiful, profane, and existential in equal measure, Luke Tarzian's tale of memory and self-deception will bleed into your dreams." - Yaroslav Barsukov, Nebula-nominated author of Tower of Mud and Straw

"A captivating, melancholy tale with complex characters and rich, surreal worldbuilding." - J.T. Greathouse, author of The Hand of the Sun King

"Tarzian is a modern day Poe, weaving together strands of dark fantasy with an in-depth exploration of his characters' psyches." - Justin Gross, FANFIADDICT

"An all consuming dreamscape the likes of Poe or Morpheus." - Ashley Brennan, FANFIADDICT

About the Author

Luke Tarzian was born in Bucharest, Romania. His parents made the extremely poor choice of adopting him less than six months into his life. As such, he's resided primarily in the United States and currently lives in California with his wife and their twin daughters. Somehow, they tolerate him.

Unfortunately, he can also be found online and, to the dismay of his clients, also functions as a cover artist for independent authors. You can connect with the author via his Website, Instagram, and Twitter.

And that concludes my cover reveal for Luke Tarzian's ADJACENT MONSTERS exclusive limited edition hardcover! Hope you enjoyed it and be sure to visit my other friends' blogs who I mentioned in the opening paragraph to see what they have in store for you. Take care and Happy Reading!
