The Legacy Trilogy Book 3: 'Legacy Of Light' By Matthew Ward Gets Official Cover

Orbit has always been consistent with making beautiful covers. The said publisher keep its track record by making the design consistent without having to go through a redesign halfway through a series. I loved Orbit because of that and it is one of the reasons why I have to go through a lot of expense just to buy special hardcover editions of the books it only prints in paperback for mass consumers.

One of the many lucky series they published that have beautiful covers was The Legacy Trilogy by Matthew Ward. Its first book is Legacy of Ash which started the series strong, then continued with Legacy of Steel. Come next year we will be having its finale with Legacy of Light and said book's cover has just been unveiled which you can see below. I only got a low resolution version of it, but I'll update once we have a clearer and higher resolution.

Updated: We finally get a cover with higher resolution courtesy of Fantasy Hive.

Check out the official cover of Legacy of Light by Matthew Ward.

Truly Devious Book 4: 'The Box In The Woods' By Maureen Johnson Gets Official Cover

I have to admit that what attracted me about Truly Devious first is its beautiful cover. It is however the smart and spine-chilling stories that made me stay. I am so glad that there are more to the series, after initially thinking it would only be just a trilogy. I've actually never been this happy to be wrong!

Stevie Bell is back in this fourth installment of the Truly Devious series. An equally beautiful official cover has just been unveiled. Since I preordered this book some time in August I am regularly checking if an official cover has just been added... now is that time to revel after months of waiting.

Check out the official cover of The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson.

The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson

Synopsis

After solving the case of Truly Devious, Stevie Bell investigates her first mystery outside of Ellingham Academy in this spine-chilling and hilarious stand-alone mystery from New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson.

Amateur sleuth Stevie Bell needs a good murder. After catching a killer at her high school, she’s back at home for a normal (that means boring) summer.

But then she gets a message from the owner of Sunny Pines, formerly known as Camp Wonder Falls—the site of the notorious unsolved case, the Box in the Woods Murders. Back in 1978, four camp counselors were killed in the woods outside of the town of Barlow Corners, their bodies left in a gruesome display. The new owner offers Stevie an invitation: Come to the camp and help him work on a true crime podcast about the case.

Stevie agrees, as long as she can bring along her friends from Ellingham Academy. Nothing sounds better than a summer spent together, investigating old murders.

But something evil still lurks in Barlow Corners. When Stevie opens the lid on this long-dormant case, she gets much more than she bargained for. The Box in the Woods will make room for more victims. This time, Stevie may not make it out alive.


The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson will be released on June 15, 2021.
