Cover Reveal - Castle of Sighs by Jennifer Murgia

This is my first time being able to share a cover reveal for a new release book. I'm so happy to be given a chance to do so, let alone doing one for one of my anticipated releases.

Just in case if you didn't know this book is the sequel to Forest of Whispers. Just in case if this is your first time finding out about any of these new books, allow me to share a little blurb about the first book.


Forest of Whispers by Jennifer Murgia
Publication Date: September 9th, 2014
Genres: Young Adult Fiction - Historical Fantasy
"This is who I am. I am no longer the simple girl hidden behind the safety of a make-believe forest. I am the story. I am the tall tale . . . I am the witch."

Raised by an old fortune-teller within the dark veil of the Bavarian Black Forest, Rune has learned two valuable lessons: only take from the forest that which you can use, and never, never look anyone in the eye in the village. For something terrible happened in the forest long ago... and now, the whispers of a long-dead mother with a vengeful secret have come haunting.

Forced to flee all she has ever known, Rune soon learns of a legacy she is bound to--one that is drenched in fear, witchcraft and murder--a birthright that stretches beyond the grave to the trees where Rune is no longer safe.

Sounds pretty darn cool, right? Well, that's because it is. I highly recommend the book above once you get the chance. I should have a review post coming up for this book fairly soon, so keep an eye out for it!

But, hey, we're not focusing on Forest of Whispers. This is all about the reveal for the sequel, right? Well, I hope you guys are ready. : P Scroll on down if you're ready...

Castle of Sighs by Jennifer Murgia
Release Date: September 15, 2015
Genres: Young Adult Fiction, Historical Fantasy
Some secrets cannot be kept--in life or in death.

Months have passed since Rune has heard of a single whisper from her long-dead mother, the great witch of Bavaria. But the absence of one evil has only made room for another. After rightfully inheriting her ancestral hone, Pyrmont Castle, Rune settles into a quiet life taking care of two orphans left in the wake of the terrible witch hunt that claimed dozens of lives in the nearby village. As the days grow colder, the castle's secrets beckon and Rune finds herself roaming where no one has set foot in a long time. In the bowels of the fortress is a locked room full of memories that hang like cobwebs--shelves stacked with jars, strange specimens, putrid liquids, and scrolls of spells. Rune is undeniably drawn to what she finds there, and she begins to dabble in the possibilities of magic, hoping to find a cure for the strangeness overwhelming the castle.

As secrets unspool, the delicate thread of Rune's world is threatened when she realizes the key may lie in the dark forest she once called home and the boy she thought she knew.

Look at how beautiful this cover is! I love how they layered the background images together. I'm also slightly biased with seeing the main character in her own warm cloak. It looks so nice.and fuzzy. This will definitely look nice on my bookshelf, for sure.

Sadly, there are no pre-order links for this book yet, but as soon as there are I'll gladly update this post with them! Until then, grab Forest of Whispers ASAP!! :D
