The Darkest Tide

I did visit the Oracle today, and she gave me a poem. I’ll post it tomorrow, as today I want to make an announcement. The Darkest Tide, first book of a mythological fantasy trilogy is available for pre-order! I’ve waited a long time for this, and Northodox Press have done a splendid job with the cover. Publication date is September 18, but if you order it now, you’ll get a sale price reduction.

Here is the link to the publisher’s website with the details.

In the land of the blind, a one-eyed girl must lead.

In a broken world that has forgotten its name, everyone has a secret. Una One-Eye sees with the eye that isn’t there, but the fishmen overlords must never know or they will kill her. Una’s mother knows how her child lost her eye and why. That is her deadly secret. Fiachra, Haldan Red-Hair’s thrall, is more than a slave. He sees the sapphire fire in Una’s empty orbit, but he keeps that to himself. Somewhere, a power is hidden that can destroy the tyranny of the fishmen and rebuild the drowned world of Ys. But where and how is a secret.

    1. Thank you! The first mock-up was so far from being right in any way that my heart sank. The designer hadn’t read the book… I gave him some ideas and when he came up with the green and gold sea, I knew we were on the same wave length.

      2. Cover designers ought to at least get a synopsis or a detailed blurb, but when the work is done in-house, they tend to be also editors and administrators. I suppose it depends on workload if they read beyond the title…
