Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.

We have an incredibly exciting post today. Gollancz has asked Novel Notions to host the cover reveal for one of my most anticipated fantasy sequels of 2024: The Doors of Midnight by R.R. Virdi! This is the sequel to The First Binding, one of my favorite fantasy books in the year 2022. It has been a while since the first book was first released, and I won’t take too much of your time.  It is an honor for me and Novel Notions to share the enchanting cover art of The Doors of Midnight, the second book Tales of Tremaine series by R.

The captivating sequel to the Silk Road-inspired epic fantasy debut The First Binding, which kicked off the Tales of Tremaine. A love letter to storytelling and filled to the brim with secrets, magic and adventure.

Some stories are hidden for a reason. All tales have a price. And every debt must be paid.

I killed three men as a child and earned the name Bloodletter. Then I set fire to the fabled Ashram. I’ve been a bird and robbed a merchant king of a ransom of gold. And I have crossed desert sands and cutthroat alleys to repay my debt.

I’ve stood before the eyes of god, faced his judgement, and cast aside the thousand arrows that came with it. And I have passed through the Doors of Midnight and lived to tell the tale.

I have traded one hundred and one stories with a creature as old as time, and survived with only my cleverness, a candle, and a broken promise.

And most recently of all, I have killed a prince, though the stories say I have killed more than one.

My name is Ari. These are my legends.

And these are my lies.
