Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.

We have another incredibly exciting post today. Orbit Books has asked Novel Notions to host the cover reveal for one of my most anticipated releases of 2023: The Bone Shard War by Andrea Stewart! Yes! The Bone Shard Daughter remains strong as one of my favorite fantasy debuts, and I’ve longed for the conclusion to the trilogy for a while now. Today, amazingly, I get to host the cover reveal of the final volume in The Drowning Empire trilogy! Once again, Sasha Vinogradova returns as the cover artist, and she successfully crafted another intricately beautiful cover art. Just like the previous two books in the series. It is an honor for me and Novel Notions to post the cover art to The Bone Shard War. Without further ado, here’s the absolutely beautiful cover reveal for The Bone Shard War by Andrea Stewart.

Official Blurb:

The Bone Shard Daughter was hailed as “one of the best debut fantasy novels of the year,” (BuzzFeed News). Now, Andrea Stewart brings us the final book in this unmissable, action-packed, magic-laced epic fantasy trilogy, The Bone Shard War.

With the help of the Shardless Few, Jovis and Lin have defeated the construct army and the treacherous Ragan. But not all alliances are easy. The leader of the Shardless Few has debts to pay and a world to make over. And this new world does not need or want an Emperor.

But this is not the only thing to threaten the fragile peace. Now that fewer people are undergoing the Tithing Festival, the Alanga are returning, and not all of them are peaceful. While Jovis and Lin find allies in unlikely places, other Alanga begin to choose sides–and many are none too happy with the current regime or with the commoners.

With enemies on all sides, Empress Lin must decide if she should follow in the destructive steps of her forebears to save the Empire’s citizens and bring peace.

And this is what Andrea Stewart has to say regarding the cover art and The Bone Shard War!

Sasha Vinogradova and Lauren Panepinto have done it again! That PURPLE. I cannot wait to share the conclusion of The Drowning Empire with readers and to line up these pretty covers one next to the other. It’s strange to hold the ending to something in your head for so many years before you get to reveal it to readers. I’ve already said a fond farewell to these characters as they continue on to other adventures; I hope you all find the ending as satisfying to read as I found writing it.

Expect battles at sea, startling reveals, lots of magic, and damaged characters just trying their very best in a broken world. So start your countdown clocks! It’ll be here before you know it!

I want to give my special thanks to Andrea Stewart, Ellen Wright, & Orbit for allowing Novel Notions the honor and pleasure of hosting the exclusive cover reveal for The Bone Shard War. As fantasy enthusiasts and self-proclaimed connoisseurs of book cover art, it means a lot for me and all of us here at Novel Notions to be given this opportunity. It goes without saying that I’m looking forward to reading The Bone Shard War!

Lastly, thank you to everyone for taking the time to read this post!
