Talk about cover love. I love the dark sky's in the back and how the purple flows down. This cover is stunning. What do you guys think?
About the cover
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
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: Leigh Fallon
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 stopped 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.

Beautiful cover! Can hardly wait to read this next year. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI loved the cover for Carrier and this one is even more amazing. I really love how they took the same concept and built on it! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis cover looks so similar to the cover of the first book that I would probably confuse the two if not for the different dress colors. The dress colors are what make the covers pop.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to read this book! It is a eye popping cover, makes you want to read it.
ReplyDeletei love the cover
ReplyDeleteThe cover of a book is always very important...its what lures you to open the book and read it. This book has a great cover and has picked my interest a lot...
ReplyDeleteThis cover is stunning! Absolutely love it!! The smoke and colors! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think the cover is fabulous!!! <3 The purple dress looks like smoke!
ReplyDeleteI like this cover more than I liked the first one and I get that they wanted them to be unmistakeably from the same series but it seemed kind of lazy to me to just flip the girl to face the other way and change the colour of her dress. Maybe that's just me though.
ReplyDeleteI like this cover but I really wish it was a little more different than the other one

I freaking love the smoky purple cover. I like it better than the first book in the series. :( i do agree that it is remarkable similar to the first one, though.
It's an intriguing cover! Love the coloring of it. Checked out the cover of 'Carrier of the Mark' and I was loving it! I see the similarities of the covers, but, also, the differences can be seen because of the darker palette of 'Shadow of the Mark.' Loved it! The cover definitely peaked my interest to check out this trilogy! :)
