It’s been awhile coming but I can finally reveal the new cover of The Master and the Sorceress.

Pretty darn beautiful thanks to Dar Albert. You may recognise the gorgeous model from the last version of this cover which featured Katrine and her splendid black stallion. The horse has been replaced on this cover by a night hound, complete with scorching red eyes.

Here’s the blurb:

A DESPERATE SORCERESS

Katrine Aranati no longer knows how to deal with the woman she has become. She runs headlong into a man whose heart’s desire is order and control.

A MASTER JEWELER

James Tomel is outwardly a pillar of society, but he hides more than one secret. His life plan has no room for a dangerous liaison with a reckless stranger.

When they are thrown together on a trip to Brightcastle, fierce creatures from legend pursue them, but even more perilous are the feelings swirling between them. As their hearts and bodies come together, one will flee while the other demands an accounting.

The Master and the Sorceress is the seventh book in the epic Queenmakers Saga, combining the sweeping high fantasy world of Thorius with sizzling romance. If you like magic, danger and mythical creatures, wrapped up in an ‘opposites attract’ love story, you’ll adore The Master and the Sorceress.

If you’ve read The Lady and the Pirate, you’ve met Katrine, the heroine of The Master and the Sorceress. She captured my imagination as a secondary character in her sister Esta’s story. In fact, I took a break from writing Elf Princess Warrior to write The Master and the Sorceress – I just couldn’t get Katrine out of my head. I hope you love her story, coming early in January. I’ll post the pre-order soon.

Happy reading

Bernadette.
