I am very happy to be a part of the cover reveal of Ice and Ivy by JD Evans, the fourth book in the Mages of the Wheel series.
For anyone not already familiar with the series, The Mages of the Wheel is an epic romantic fantasy in a West Asian inspired world. It seamlessly combines the tropes of epic fantasy (full of magic, politics, and more) with everything romance readers are looking for (HEAs, each book focused on a new couple, etc.). Whether you are a romance reader looking to get into fantasy, or a fantasy reader looking to dip your toes into romance, you cannot go wrong with this series.
Do you need more convincing? See my review of the third book in the series, Siren & Scion, (don’t worry, it is spoiler-free for the entire series), and also see why I think the first book in the series, Reign & Ruin, deserves to be one of the biggest books around.
Plus, each of the book has an absolutely GORGEOUS cover! And Ice & Ivy is absolutely no exception. Check it out!
Seriously, this might be my favorite cover yet!
Ice & Ivy is set to be released on 19 August, 2023. You can preorder to book here or here.
Here is the official blurb:
She is a void, the empty balance of magic.
When the Grand Vizier seeks to humiliate a man who has crossed him, a woman of the humblest origins is entangled in political webs far beyond her understanding, and bound into a marriage she cannot escape. She does not know who is an ally, and who is an enemy. But she does know she is drawn to the man whose dreams and heart seem made of ice.
He is a mage broken, whose power has been warped.
The Blight ravages both Tamar and Sarkum, and their people, and armies, are starving. Violence and protests in Narfour have the city on the brink of rebellion. When Ihsan sees a chance to gain an ally with the only productive land left in Tamar for his cousin, the Sultana, he takes it. But nothing is as it seems when Behram Kadir is involved. Ihsan knows he should not trust the woman who has upended his life, even if she is the first warmth he has felt since fire stole everything from him.
