Cover Reveal: Kinslayer by Jay Kristoff

You guys, I am so thrilled to be apart of today's cover reveal for Jay Kristoffer's KINSLAYER! Today's cover reveal is both the US & UK covers. Let me just say, I'm not sure which one I love more. Check them out and tell me what you think.....

The US cover


The UK cover

See what I mean? Pretty sweet covers aren't they? Which is your favorite? It's hard to choose.

About the Book:


A SHATTERED EMPIRE 
The mad Shōgun Yoritomo has been assassinated by the Stormdancer Yukiko, and the threat of civil war looms over the Shima Imperium. The Lotus Guild conspires to renew the nation’s broken dynasty and crush the growing rebellion simultaneously - by endorsing a new Shōgun who desires nothing more than to see Yukiko dead.


A DARK LEGACY
Yukiko and the mighty thunder tiger Buruu have been cast in the role of heroes by the Kagé rebellion. But Yukiko herself is blinded by rage over her father’s death, and her ability to hear the thoughts of beasts is swelling beyond her power to control. 
Along with Buruu, Yukiko’s anchor is Kin, the rebel Guildsman who helped her escape from Yoritomo’s clutches. But Kin has his own secrets, and is haunted by visions of a future he’d rather die than see realized. 


A GATHERING STORM
Kagé assassins lurk within the Shōgun’s palace, plotting to end the new dynasty before it begins. A waif from Kigen’s gutters begins a friendship that could undo the entire empire. A new enemy gathers its strength, readying to push the fracturing Shima imperium into a war it cannot hope to survive. And across raging oceans, amongst islands of black glass, Yukiko and Buruu will face foes no katana or talon can defeat.


The ghosts of a blood-stained past.


Uber Quiz:
4. What is the name of the rebellion brewing in the Imperium’s wilderness?
This uber quiz will work like it did last year - there's be a sort of scavenger hunt thing among the 10 participating blogs for ppl who are really keen (and a big prize for those who enter). You don't need to point to the other blogs - just direct participants back to my blog - all the links tot he other questions will be there. All the entry details and prizes will be detailed there too, so you don't have to clutter up your post with any of that stuff - just have the question and a link to my blog and we're good.

Now head over to Jay's blog to enter to win!

  3. If the US cover had the UK cover's font and the little icons, we'd have a perfect one. :)

  5. The US cover captures more of the intensity of the story and of Jay's writing IMO.
