COVER REVEAL: In the Shadow of the Sanctum

I am incredibly excited to share my cover and a little bit more about my forthcoming fantasy novel, In The Shadow Of The Sanctum. The book will be available in the Spring of 2026, and I’ll share more about when and how to pre-order and order when I know more.

First of all, a huge thank you to my publisher, Gold Dust Publishing, and the artist, Susan Roddey. I absolutely love it, and I’m so grateful to be able to share it widely.

And here is a little more about the book:

She was afraid of the truth. She was afraid of the lies. But mostly afraid she couldn’t tell the difference between the two anymore.
After escaping from the holy Sanctum, Ehla yearns for safety. In a realm where High Priests maintain absolute power through violence and manipulation, Ehla finds herself at the center of a rebellion she wants no part of.
And the more she learns about the One God, the Serpent, and the magical power of Song, the more she questions everything she thought she knew.
With the Sanctum’s shadow growing deeper, Ehla must make choices that will change her – and the realm – forever.
Packed with religious oppression, revolution, and self-discovery, this fast-paced, thought-provoking fantasy novel is perfect for fans of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Sabaa Tahir’s Ember in the Ashes series, and Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series.

Here is a slightly larger version of the cover:
