October proved to be the worst month this year for me and my family. I had already sensed how it would turn out in the previous edition of Cover Reveal News Round-Up. A lot has happened. Hopefully, November will prove to be a respite from all of the past month's tribulations. In this edition we have double trouble: sequels by Veronica Roth, and Steve Berry & William Nikkel; and the ever-welcome redesigned books by Agatha Christie.
Synopsis
Fate is complicated.
Elegy Ahn learned that lesson the hard way when the augurs prophesied that she would lead her people to victory over their enemies, the Talusar―and her life quickly unraveled.
Now fate has put her on a spaceship hurtling towards an unknown destination. Now fate reveals itself to her through visions as a newly-made augur herself.
As Elegy gets closer to the doorway in the stars, she has no more clarity into what waits on the other side or how this spacefaring adventure will lead to the defeat of the Talusar. And even worse, she is plagued by visions of death and destruction, as cryptic as they are disturbing. Until she sees one that inspires hope: Theren, her fated love, happy and healthy.
A galaxy of unknowns lies between Elegy and that future. But she’ll do anything to reach it―even if it means deciding between protecting her heart and protecting her people.
Curse the Left Hand by Veronica Roth will be released on May 4, 2027.
Synopsis

The Last Testimony by Veronica Roth will be released on February 2, 2027.
Synopsis
New York Times bestselling authors Steve Berry and Grant Blackwood return with the latest Luke Daniels adventure―taking Daniels from the picturesque Virginia countryside, to the backstages of Walt Disney World, and finally deep into the wilds of northern Ecuador, where the future of that country hangs in the balance.
August 1941. Walt Disney and a team of animators travel to South America on a State Department-sponsored goodwill tour. While there Walt is given a gift. A 15th century Inca death mask named the Sorcerer’s Veil. Grateful, Walt brings the mask back home and keeps it safe until his death in 1966.
Present day. Luke Daniels is helping out his friend and co-worker, Marcia Pooler, with repairs on her farmhouse in rural Virginia. Their tranquility is suddenly shattered when armed assailants, led by a fierce revolutionary from Ecuador, appear and demand the mask. Things are further complicated when Sean Fernando, an old enemy bent on revenge, aligns himself with the Ecuadorians in their search.
Marcia’s grandfather, Gregg Pooler, was there in 1941 with Walt Disney in South America. After the war Gregg became an Imagineer and worked for Disney nearly fifty years. Before he died Walt gave Gregg the mask. The problem? Marcia knows nothing about its current whereabouts. But her grandfather left a way to find it, part of a Great Game they once played across the Magic Kingdom during her childhood. So Luke and Marcia embark on a journey―a hunt for an artifact that, as they learn along the way, holds the key to the future of Ecuador.
From the picturesque Virginia countryside, to the backstages of Walt Disney World, and finally deep into the wilds of northern Ecuador, Luke and Marcia fight to stay ahead of their deadly pursuers, all while unlocking the secrets of the Sorcerer’s Veil.
The Sorcerer's Veil by Steve Berry will be released on February 16, 2027.
Synopsis
From New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry, writing with William Nikkel, comes a new Luke Daniels adventure.
Magellan Billet agent Luke Daniels has been called to Washington D.C. by his uncle, former president, now U.S. Senator, Danny Daniels. Something bad is brewing. Senator Christopher McKee, a political enemy of Danny’s, and Konstantin Franko, the current totalitarian head of the Russian Federation are conspiring against America.
It all centers on what happened in March 1867, when then-Secretary of State William Seward reached a deal with his Russian counterpart for the United States to purchase Alaska. The price? $7.2 million dollars. A mere two cents an acre. But though subsequently approved by both countries, the resulting treaty met with strong opposition. So not everything was included within the treaty’s public language. Instead there was a secret addendum, a failsafe the Russian Tsar had insisted be added that would, if ever breached, void the sale. A provision the United States has long violated. Now Russia wants Alaska back. But it needs the addendum to enforce its claim.
From the political maelstrom of Washington D.C., to the scorching Nevada desert, and finally into an aging museum in upstate New York, Luke searches for the lost document. Along the way he’s thwarted by treasonous Americans and dangerous Russians, everything leading to a deadly confrontation where alliances get tested and traitors are revealed—all through the Judas Kiss.
The Judas Kiss by Steve Berry & William Nikkel will be released on December 8, 2026.
