We've had our fun with the Ascendance Trilogy (The False Prince, The Runaway King, and The Shadow Throne) by Jennifer A. Nielsen. But alas good things have to end and we are left with a hunger for more of Jaron, despite it's satisfying conclusion. It's like saying goodbye to an old friend, not knowing if you'll gonna see each other again or not.

The first book in the series is called Mark of the Thief, which is also the name of the whole series originally called The Praetor War series. The cover has been revealed, courtesy of Christopher Stengel for the jacket design and Larry Rostant for the cover art.
