I know, there's no mistaking it. This is definitely a Carrier Series cover, but that was the intention. After the amazing reception to the cover of Carrier of the Mark, HarperCollins wanted Shadow's cover to be instantly recognizable. And it is, but the new darker color palette reflects the darker tone that this installment brings, and the pink and purple really make it pop. I love it and think HarperCollins have done another amazing job. I hope you like it too.
Shadow of the Mark
HaperTeen 2013
Life for Megan Rosenberg just got a lot more complicated.
While she evoked the air element, and her feelings for Adam
intensified, a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal has been spun around her. With the Order tightening its hold, and the reinstatement of the Mark Knights, Megan has more questions than answers as the Marked Ones grow in strength. New people arouse suspicion, the DeRises start behaving strangely, and Megan begins to unravel a destiny shrouded in mystery. It’s a destiny the Order has struggled to hide,
and a destiny someone from the past…far in the past, has already laid claim to. Alliances will be made, and friends will be lost, as the Order’s dark secrets are revealed by the very thing they sought to destroy.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I started out life in South Africa. A year later my parents moved home to Dublin, Ireland. When I was older and realized my parents had moved me from exotic Durban, to sedate Rathfarnham, Dublin 16, I was rightly ticked off.
Giving up lions for sheep, I grew up in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains where I went to a convent school and had to contend with uniforms, gabardines, and nuns. When not dodging the beady glare of the Sisters of Mercy, I was devouring every book I could get my hands on. I traveled all over Europe while working in banking and treasury, but I gave up my calculator in favor of a keyboard and haven’t topped writing since. My first book, Carrier of the Mark, was published by HarperTeen in 2011. Our home is in Cork in the south of Ireland, but we’re currently on loan to Massachusetts in the US where I continue to write books about magic, ghosts,and romance, with a bit of Irish flavor.











I'm sad to say I wish the cover was a little more original. It's pretty! dont get me wrong, but it's exactly like the first one, just different coloring. I"m still anxious to read it though.
ReplyDeleteI really like the cover design! Can't wait to read this!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't finish the first book in the series because I kept getting annoyed at the characters. That cover was pretty but this one is beautiful, not just saying that cause Purple is my color of worship, I get why they wanted to keep the same stock image with only minor changes.
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice :)
ReplyDelete*Fan girl scream* I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! Same as book #1.
ReplyDeleteI love the color and the design
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL! The swirls are like those photos of ink in water! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cover! It'd look so good in a set :D
ReplyDeleteI think the cover is even more georgeous then the first.
ReplyDeleteI think it's absolutely gorgeous! I agree with another commenter that the books together would look splendid on a shelf... but I'd have to turn them so the fronts faced out, not the spines!

Jenn
