Cover Reveal Cover shows a demon rising up from below, lava dripping out of his hands. He stares menacingly ahead, black-skinned and cat-eyed, with a body of lean musculature. A frame surrounds him with red oak leaves and twin hippogriffs at the bottom.  Titled: We Will Devour The Night by Camilla Andrew The Essence of the Equinox Book 2  The cover has been blended with a gif of slowly moving flames at the bottom of the image.

sequel to the marvellous “WHEN THE STARS ALIGHT”

Twenty years after that fateful voyage north, Laila has been slowly prepping for her campaign to become the next Impératrice of Soleterea. Unfortunately, she must also contend with competitors attempting to wrangle the throne from her dynasty by capitalising on the negative attitudes towards chaos magic and the demons who wield it. In the meantime, Darius has settled into his new position as the Rex of Mortos, but his rule has not been without conflict and conspiracy.

When her mother suggests that Laila help herself politically by lending a hand to Darius, she finds herself once more crossing paths with her old lover and confronting the whirlwind of emotions that twenty years apart had done little to settle. Determined to put her feelings to one side, Laila throws herself headfirst into the pit of vipers that is Mortesian court politics in the interest of charming them under her influence. However, Darius continues to have an allure of his own - one that is not quite so simple to resist.

I've been eager for this cover to come out since I got the first inklings of it. The artist, Eeva Nikunen, is here in tumblr, but I recommend visiting her instagram page especially.

She also drew the cover of the first book in the trilogy, and she's made a wonderful job in illustrating both the story each book tells, and the progression the series follows. We're really in it now! Things are going to get darker and meatier. WWDTN delves further into the horror that WTSA slowly unraveled under its rosy, lyrically-prosed veneer, and I love it.

THERE'S STILL TIME TO GET AN ADVANCED READER COPY. If you haven't read WTSA, do not fret: when you sign up, there's a chance to request both books. Since the sequel comes out on September 22nd (you can pre-order the ebook too!), there's also plenty of time to read both. There's also a limited offer to get the ebook for only 99p, either in amazon, or in kobo if you're in the UK/AUS/NZD!

I encourage people who love high fantasy, doomed romances, powerful female characters, and lyrical, descriptive prose to give this author a chance!
