We are thrilled to be revealing the cover for Jodi Meadows’ Nightrender, which combines lush, romantic, high-fantasy drama with surreal, speculative horror.
Releasing on January 4th 2022 from Holiday House, kingdoms will fall, gods will die, and hearts will be broken in this sprawling new fantasy.
Are you intrigued? Nightrender is available to pre-order and to add to your Goodreads! Read on to discover the cover and synopsis, but first, Jodi has a few words to say!
“An ancient evil rising. Three kingdoms locked in endless war. A champion sworn to defend the people who betrayed her. This is NIGHTRENDER, a story I have wanted to tell for more than a decade. It felt like a tall order to ask someone to create a cover around a legend, a weapon, a hero eternal, but YONSON and the team at Holiday House delivered. The mood. The colors. The wings. I am so pleased to be able to share the incredible art for NIGHTRENDER’s cover. And, soon, the book itself.”
IN THE MIDDLE OF NOTHINGNESS IS THE ISLAND OF SALVATION.
Reality bends easily here. Villages disappear. Forests burn forever. Pockets of inconsistent time are everywhere, their boundaries strung with yellow ribbon. And the three kingdoms of Salvation have been at war for a thousand years.
But the greatest threat is the Malice, an incursion from the demon plane slowly tearing its way through the world’s weakest seams. Not that the human world takes much interest. Of more concern is the upcoming marriage of Rune Highcrown, Prince of Caberwill, and Johanne Fortuin, Princess of Embria, which offers a possible end to the ancient conflict. But Rune has perceived the growing darkness, and he is determined to summon mankind’s only defense: Nightrender, the hammer of the gods, an immortal warrior more weapon than girl.
There is only one problem. The last time she was summoned, she slaughtered every royal in Salvation, and no one knows why. Will she save humanity from the Malice . . . or plunge it deeper into the fires of eternal war?
