Cover Reveal: Wishtress by Nadine Brandes

Posted on by R.M. Archer

Y’all, I am SO excited to help share the cover for Nadine Brandes’ latest book: Wishtress!!

Nadine Brandes is one of my favorite authors, and I am so excited about this new book! Though she’s written historical fantasy in the past, this is her first “straight” fantasy and it sounds amazing!

I’ll give you a blurb, and then we can get into the suspense of the cover reveal. ;)

She didn’t ask to be the Wishtress.

Myrthe was born with the ability to turn her tears into wishes. But when a granted wish goes wrong, a curse is placed on her: the next tear she sheds will kill her. She needs to journey to the Well and break the curse before it claims her life—and before the king’s militairen track her down. But in order to survive the journey, she must harden her heart to keep herself from crying even a single tear.

He can stop time with a snap of his fingers.

Bastiaan’s powerful—and rare—Talent came in handy when he kidnapped the old king. Now the new king has a job for him: find and capture the Wishtress and deliver her to the schloss. But Bastiaan needs a wish of his own. He gains Myrthe’s trust by promising to take her to the Well, but once he gets what he needs, he’ll turn her in. As long as his growing feelings for the girl with a stone heart don’t compromise his job.

They are on a journey that can only end one way: with her death.

Everyone seems to need a wish—the king, Myrthe’s cousin, the boy she thinks she loves. And they’re ready to bully, beg, and even betray her for it. No one knows that to grant even one of them, Myrthe would have to die. And if she tells them about her curse . . . they’ll just kill her anyway.

Sounds epic, right?

Let’s see the equally epic cover, shall we?

Well…

After a bit of a delay to build up suspense, of course.

Because these things can’t be easy. ;)

  3. Nadine Brandes is my favorite! Fawkes and Romanov are some of my favorite books and probably the ones that most strongly influenced my writing. So excited for Wishtress!

  7. Ahhh, this cover is SO beautiful!! I’m always a little (or a lot 😬) hesitant about YA fantasy, but I’m excited to read this one!!

    1. I tend to be skeptical about *mainstream* YA fantasy, but there are particular publishers (like Enclave) and authors (like… several people) that I tend to trust. Good YA vs. bad YA tend to be divided by worldview. ;P

      1. Oh, yes, that makes sense! I was actually coming more from a different angle, in which it’s hard for me to find (Christian or otherwise) YA fantasy that is high-quality, well-written, and that I find enjoyable, but I also have to take into account that I’m a picky reader. xD

          1. Yeah, you’re definitely more immersed in the world of YA fantasy then me and I must say I’ve gotten a lot of fantasy recs inadvertently from you, by seeing what you’ve been reading. 😂 So, thank you.
