Hello hello!
It's been quite some time since indie author R.M. Archer graced the shelves of readers with a new release. Well, with much excitement and long-lasting anticipation, I am very glad to say that she will be releasing her first ever full length novel this summer!
And not only that, but we also have the cover reveal! The Archer fanbase has waited so. long. for this day.
And because of that fact, I am not going to leave this post at showing you the cover. No indeed, we have something special to go with the reveal later in this post.
But before we begin, let's set the mood with some music.
And now on with the post!
General Information
A'fore we reveal the cover, it may be considered best to first introduce you to this delightful story and its brilliant author.
Genre: High-fantasy
Release date: June 17th
Synopsis: "Dragon ink gives calligraphers the power to set history in stone—or to change it.
Lai Duyên’s dreams are realized when she’s admitted into the ranks of the calligraphers—authors considered trustworthy enough to defend time from those who would change it. She’s thrilled at the opportunity to record her country’s history, and to work with the other calligraphers in her village.
But when Duyên’s guild is set upon by ancient dragons demanding a time-changer be destroyed, her world is flipped upside down. Her guildmates turn on each other, suspicion coloring their every move. To make matters worse, she’s begun hearing the dragons in her head and finds them impossible to block out: a condition that rendered her grandmother insane.
With the calligraphy guild in turmoil and Duyên’s ever-present fear of madness clouding her vision, will the group be able to discover which of their guildmates has altered time before the dragons pass judgment on them all?"
Author bio:
R.M. Archer has been an avid reader since the time she could first make out words, and has always been a lover of story. That interest developed into a love of writing when she was seven (though those first attempts have long-since been incinerated), and she's been pursuing a career as an author ever since. Archer believes that art can change the culture and aims to write YA speculative fiction that thoughtfully explores a variety of worldviews through the lens of her own Christian perspective.
In addition to writing fiction, Archer keeps up a non-fiction blog of writing tips and book reviews, and worldbuilding is her favorite topic to blog about.
