I’ve taken part in cover reveals for both Conspirator’s Kingdom and Isles of Corruption for author Elyse Thomson, so of course I happily agreed to help reveal the new cover for her already-published novella The Firetongue Heir! I really enjoyed this story and previously posted my review for it on the blog as well so make sure to check that out here! It can be read before the main series, as I have done, and is a fun, quick adventure to squeeze into your TBR!

Blurb
Love leads to ruin.
As the cunning mage Nadia plots to reshape a continent plagued by war, the fate of a noblewoman—marriage and a life of stultifying insignificance—is only one of many hurdles to overcome. Forced to let her brother take credit for all her brilliant plans, she’s resigned to scheme from the shadows while her family decides her future. Her life seems set in stone, until she meets a charming, irritating rogue and the bane of her existence—Darius.
Prince Darius Firetongue loves nothing more than nettling the sharp-tongued, quick-witted Nadia, and being the disappointing youngest son of a tyrant leaves him plenty of time to woo her away from a fiancé she doesn’t want. But when the king decides to bring him to heel by threatening Nadia’s life, he knows he must act.
Compelled to flee, with only each other to rely on, passions ignite. Yet as dangerous secrets are revealed, they must decide: side with family, or choose a reckless, forbidden love and the dark promise of bloodshed to come.

And now… the reason we’re really all here…
It’s so gorgeous! I love it! And it fits so well with the rest of the series now too! I’m hoping to start the main series in June and am really excited. I might even reread this novella first.
