So stoked to present the cover of HEAVENLY TYRANT, the sequel to IRON WIDOW, my sci-fi reimagining of China’s only female emperor!
Heavenly Tyrant is a book about consequences, reactionary pushback, and the price of power - and oh BOY does the symbolism in this cover capture that 😳 All my love to Ashley Mackenzie for once again doing a PHENOMENAL job with the art, including turning my shoddy Yellow Dragon armor sketch into this beauty, to Terri Nimmo for the art direction, and the team at Penguin Teen Canada for listening to what I wanted for the cover!! I know having so much input is a privilege authors rarely have.
More about Heavenly Tyrant:
After suffering devastating loss and making drastic decisions, Zetian finds herself at the seat of power in Huaxia. But her world is not as it seems, and revelations about an enemy more daunting than she imagined forces her to share her power with a dangerous man she can no longer simply remove out of her way. Despite having vastly different ideas than him on what they are to each other and how the world should change, Zetian must join him in a dance of truth and lies and perform their roles to perfection in order to take down their common enemy and get back the loved one she lost.
It will release late 2023 (exact date TBD)
