COVER REVEAL: The Last King by Millicent Nankivell

Today we are lucky enough to be sharing our amazing friend Millicent's cover reveal for her upcoming book The Last King. Millicent is an absolute inspiration to us and so we're incredibly honoured and excited to show you this amazing cover!

Before that, we've got a couple of amazingly made graphics to share with you to tease you about the book...

Anastasia Avignon has always known she was a witch.

It’s only now that mysterious shadows have begun chasing her that things have started getting weird. Yes, weird even for a witch.

For the sake of her safety, Anastasia has been taken to the Blackthorne Estate, run by Lady Mirabelle Brackens, a friend of her mother’s who she’s never heard of before. There, she meets Warren Brackens and Dara Robbins.

But there's something curious about them. They seem to have access to more power than is normal for any witch...and she’s burning to find out why.

When Anastasia begins displaying unnatural powers of her own, it only fuels her desire to find out more. As a long forgotten curse is revealed, Anastasia finds herself in a tangled web of whispers from the past.

Like many other events in history, fear and shame have concealed the truth behind the fate of the last royal family. So why is it that now, centuries after their defeat, Anastasia is seeing their history everywhere? Why has she suddenly become the target of the one who destroyed them all those years ago?

Anastasia is convinced that Warren and Dara have the answers to her questions, but is the price of their knowledge worth paying?

Now she is being hunted, Anastasia must learn to trust in her own abilities and follow her instincts. But is Anastasia on a path predestined for her, or does she have the power to shape her own?

ABOUT MILLICENT

Most days, Millicent Nankivell believes she is a unicorn. Please don’t ever shatter her illusion.

As far back as she can remember, she has been creating stories that usually involved magic, mythical beasts, and creatures of her own invention. Not much has changed over the years. Well, except for also becoming a hopeless romantic as she got older.

If Millicent isn’t curled up in a dark corner with her laptop, sketch book, or reading a novel, you’ll probably find her out roaming local parks and gardens with her camera. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, and will argue that it is the best Australian city until she’s blue in the face!

The Millicent Effect

The other day, I was reading this amazing post by Millicent in which she talks about a lot of stuff. One of which was supporting friends and other bloggers – I’ve been kind of terrible at this lately, but I’m working on it. I don’t often get the time (or have the energy) to talk about every single amazing blog post I read, but I have taken to sharing posts on the A Book SoFathomless Facebook page that I really enjoyed so if you’re interested in seeing what I’m interested in then I’ve linked that. We don’t really share our own stuff there, but I suppose we probably should start that.

Anyway, in her post Millicent also talked about blogging niches. We are quite obviously a book blog with some other stuff thrown on the side. Now, we’re still going to be a book blog but we’re hopefully going to be branching out a little.

We’ve been running this blog for almost three years, and we’ve talked pretty much exclusively about Young Adult books. We still love YA and we’ll still being blogging about it, but we’ll be talking about some other stuff too and by we, I mean pretty much just me.

I don’t think this is something I’ve ever mentioned but I’m one of those weird people who actually really enjoys in depth responses to book. Not so much a review, but sort of like a cross between an essay and an article. I’m studying two literature units at University this semester and I want to be able to share with you some of the interesting things I’m learning about. By this I mean, I will be sharing stuff with you. These will be sort of like a mixture between a review/opinion thing and a sort of informal essay.

I understand that not everyone will be interested in this and I totally understand if you don’t want to read them, I just thought I’d give you all a bit of a warning.

Basically, Millicent’s post always make me feel really inspired to bring more of what I’m passionate about to the blog and to not worry about what anyone else thinks. Hence the title of this post. With that, I’m going to return to the three million readings I was doing before this post distracted me.
