This gorgeous cover art is for the UK edition and is by Micaela Alcaino. Don't miss the awesome optical illusion of Tarisai's face!


RoShawn and I are beginning the second (and so far, final) book of the Raybearer series, and it really begins with a bang. We've got a low-level heist, a murder, a mysterious creature that seems to materialize out of nowhere, and a massive banquet where Tarisai tries something new and dramatic to communicate with the guests.


Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
