Jessica McKendry released her cover reveal today!
Congratulations Jess!
I'm not sure how it all went wrong.
The concept was simple.
The Trials were made to test us. They were made to challenge our
strengths; our bravery.
We were supposed to come out better.
Winning the Trials would make us Superior citizens.
It would bring us honor and demonstrate our loyalty to the Imperial
Alliance. I knew exactly what I wanted.
Until I met him.
There was something about him. Something dark. If only I had known the
danger it would put us in.
I thought I knew the risks.
But I never imagined the price we'd pay.

An insightful look at the good and bad that exist within us, McKendry's
debut is a high-octane adventure that pushes the imagination to the limit as it
lays bare the nature of self-reliance, self-confidence, and teamwork. Playing
with the concepts of dark and light and how they affect our lives in multiple
forms, her novel is a complex coming of age story that encapsulates the
heroine's journey from student to leader. A dark tale of love and revenge, From
the Ashes is a powerful reminder to think for yourself instead of blindly
following what you've been taught to believe.
Yeah for Jessica!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating! :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like an interesting book. I especially like the part about how the narrator says she thought she knew the risks but didn't realize what all the consequences would be. I think that that is definitely something a lot of people can relate to, because even if we weigh what we think all the risks are when we make decisions, we may not be aware of everything that could happen.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great book. Congrats to Jessica!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck Jess!!
