Cover Reveal: The Last Cry of Innocence by N.A. Betts
Blurb:
THE DEBT OF FAILURE IS SETTLED IN MADNESS
Two years of war have broken Alira Verbrandt. Cornered in Astera, the last bastion guarding the River Zybril, she fights not only to hold the line, but to keep the pieces of herself together. The relentless Illyrian Expeditionary Army looms ever closer, but her fate–and that of the fractured north–may rest on the shoulders of a man tormented by dreams of things he shouldn’t see.
Desperate for answers, Alira sails west into treacherous waters, forging an uneasy alliance with a daring sea captain whose fiery spirit hides secrets as dark as her enemy. Their path leads to the towering peaks of Idel–where forgotten truths awaken–and into a dark labyrinth buried beneath the world.
What she finds will shake her resolve. The return of their creator draws near, bringing the promise of final judgment. She must unveil the last Fates, those who identities lie hidden from themselves.
But time is running out, and the price of failure is greater than death.
I MADE HER A PROMISE. AND BY MY BLOOD I WILL KEEP IT.
