#CoverReveal The Trials of Apollo, Book Four: "The Tyrant's Tomb" By Rick Riordan

Apollo, or should I say Lester Papadopoulos, is in for another adventure to pursue the next oracle in The Trials of Apollo: The Tyrant's Tomb. This fourth book on the series is one of my most anticipated book of the year, simply showing that I'll never grow tired of Rick Riordan's writings (considering how old I think I am now).

The official cover of the said book has surfaced online, and thanks to John Rocco the cover is once again superb. Rocco is playing around with perspective and should you have fear of heights: take caution. Another thing I noticed about the cover are the aviary creatures featured, which if you could remember are prevalent to the previous covers as well. What's with Lester and fiendish birds?

Check out the cover of The Tyrant's Tomb by Rick Riordan.

Synopsis

It's not easy being Apollo, especially when you've been turned into a human and banished from Olympus. On his path to restoring five ancient oracles and reclaiming his godly powers, Apollo (aka Lester Papadopoulos) has faced both triumphs and tragedies. Now his journey takes him to Camp Jupiter in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the Roman demigods are preparing for a desperate last stand against the evil Triumvirate of Roman emperors. Hazel, Reyna, Frank, Tyson, Ella, and many other old friends will need Apollo's aid to survive the onslaught. Unfortunately, the answer to their salvation lies in the forgotten tomb of a Roman ruler . . . someone even worse than the emperors Apollo has already faced.

The Tyrant's Tomb by Rick Riordan will be released on September 24, 2019.

Lorien Legacies Reborn #3: 'Return To Zero' By Pittacus Lore Gets An Official Cover

Once again I am feeling these bittersweet emotions I felt when Pittacus Lore released his final Lorien Legacies book called United as One. I am happy because we will finally get to read the conclusion of this follow-up trilogy called Lorien Legacies Reborn. On the other hand I am sad because this will be the last.

For what it's worth we got 10 full-length novels from this adventuresome Loric universe (not counting the compiled stories). This ultimate Loric adventure is almost upon us and it's called Return to Zero. The new official cover has surfaced  featuring the outer space (not seen before in the previous covers, which all featured some earthbound visuals).

Check out the cover of Return to Zero by Pittacus Lore.

Synopsis

All bets are off in this third and final book in the epic New York Times bestselling Lorien Legacies Reborn series! This fast-paced, action-packed adventure—which is set in the world of I Am Number Four—is perfect for fans of the Darkest Minds series and the X-Men franchise.

After the battle in Switzerland, the Fugitive Six find their allegiances torn, dividing them into two factions. Taylor, Kopano, and Nigel return to the Academy with Nine, but nothing is the same. As fear and resentment of the Human Garde continues to grow, the United Nations decrees that all humans with Legacies must be implanted with inhibitors. So our heroes will have no choice but to rebel.

And with the Foundation still at large, Isabela, Caleb, and Ran have decided to join forces with their former foes Einar and Five to hunt them down. But when a new threat is revealed, the group may find itself painfully outmatched. Facing capture or annihilation from all sides, the only hope the Human Garde have for survival is to stand together once and for all to fight back against their true enemies.

Return to Zero is the epic conclusion to the story of the Garde that began with the worldwide phenomenon I Am Number Four.

Return to Zero by Pittacus Lore will be released on June 25, 2019.

Cover Reveal: 'Blood Of Empire' (Gods Of Blood And Powder) By Brian McClellan

It's not gonna be released until the later part of this year but I am already so excited for the third book of the Gods of Blood and Powder series by Brian McClellan. Yes, it's gonna be a long wait but at least, as early as now, we early get a look on the cover of Blood of Empire and you'll love it.

This eye-candy of a cover is crafted by Thom Tenery and designed by Lauren Panepinto. It features a group of riders on their way to their mission (just like the first and the second books), which I am sure will be detailed in the novel.

Check out the cover of Blood of Empire by Brian McClellan.

Synopsis

As the final battle approaches, Mad Ben Styke must find an unlikely and dangerous ally in order to turn the tides of war in this epic fantasy tale of magic and gunpowder by acclaimed author Brian McClellan.

The Dynize have unlocked the Landfall Godstone, and Michel Bravis is tasked with returning to Greenfire Depths to do whatever he can to prevent them from using its power; from sewing dissention among the enemy ranks to rallying the Palo population.

Ben Styke's invasion of Dynize is curtailed when a storm scatters his fleet. Coming ashore with just twenty lancers, he is forced to rely on brains rather than brawn - gaining new allies in a strange land on the cusp of its own internal violence.

Bereft of her sorcery and physically and emotionally broken, Lady Vlora Flint now marches on Landfall at the head of an Adran army seeking vengeance against those who have conspired against her. While allied politicians seek to undo her from within, she faces insurmountable odds and Dynize's greatest general.

Continue the epic fantasy series by the author whose debut novel Brandon Sanderson called "just plain awesome!"

Blood of Empire by Brian McClellan will be released on November 26, 2019.
