Cover Crush: The Lure of Wolves and Whispers by Amanda Connolly
The cover of The Lure of Wolves and Whispers by Amanda Connolly, out tomorrow, stopped us cold like a howl in the dark (see what we did there?). The geometric foil wolves woven through the title text catch the light differently depending on the angle, which means the cover is never quite the same twice. It reads from across a room and rewards a closer look, with wolves and mist and Irish mythology and a girl who trades her life to a rebel leader to save her sister. Check it out tomorrow!

A darkly addictive romantasy debut about a girl who sacrifices everything to buy the dangerous magic that could save her sister—the first in a trilogy perfect for fans of Powerless and Throne of Glass.
On the mist-shrouded Isle of Eireann, buying magic comes with a price.
But when her beloved older sister is gravely injured, Maeve risks everything to buy the forbidden magic that might save her. In exchange, Maeve trades her life to a ruthless and dangerously alluring rebel leader. Bound to do his bidding, Maeve finds herself thrown into a deadly competition to become the next queen and stand beside a prince rumored to be more brutal than his tyrannical father.
With the isle on the brink of war, trust and survival come at a terrible cost—one that will tear Maeve’s world, and her heart, in two.
What would you sacrifice to survive?
