The tides are shifting…last week we had a cover reveal for a YA Nautical Fantasy (see here) and this week it’s a cover reveal for YA Epic Cozy Fantasy but water and the ocean are important to the plot! That’s the reason Jaidie and I decided to release our books 2 weeks apart and do a joint blog tour, because they book have the ocean, sea dragons, and some deep themes or purpose and redemption!

Anyway, back to do…you’re here for a cover reveal…right?

Waveling is the second book in The Chronicles of Uriu which is an Epic YA fantasy series that you might just enjoy if you like fast-paced books, deep themes, and introspective characters!

Check out this amazing cover! Also done by Jaidie in case anyone was wondering!

Waveling Blurb

Everyone was made for a reason. Whenever anyone is removed from this world, it affects us all.

Ever since failing to save his sister from the giants, Shale has struggled to come to terms with himself and the Spirit. He’s a Waveling SeaTamer, a defender against the monsters lurking in the Inken Ocean, but why should his village entrust their lives to him when he couldn’t even find the courage to save his own sister?

Amidst the civil war tearing through the Meadows of Harvanth, Mora Cabe must find the strength to hold her family together. When a battle brings the unthinkable to their doorstep, Mora’s strength will be stretched to the breaking point. Yet through a wounded ranger’s quiet encouragement, she discovers the resolve she needs to press on and perhaps the courage to set aside her fear of losing those she chooses to love.

Shale and Mora both desperately need courage as they face the shadows surrounding them. With the creatures within Englewood breaking free, as the Emberlings dwindle and the giants grow bolder by the day, uniting the people of the lands might be their only hope of saving Uriu.

In case you missed the first book in the series – Emberling Blurb:

One never realizes how large their world is until they struggle to protect it.

Her entire life, Iya has been pursued by the Rangers, who despise her people for the fire in their veins. She has lost everything to their hatred, and now the fate of Uriu hangs in the treacherous balance. The Emberlings are dwindling in numbers, causing unleashed chaos that threatens not only Englewood but the Meadows of Harvanth as well.

Malcolm Cabe is fueled by hatred as he sets out to annihilate the fire-wielding Emberlings responsible for his father’s death. However, his mission takes an unexpected turn when he saves Iyana, a secretive girl haunted by a heartrending past.

Iya must keep her identity hidden from Malcolm and the other Rangers because if they discover who she is…death awaits her. But if the truth is never told how can they find the strength to forgive and unite? Decisions need to be made, and the wrong ones could lead to the destruction of all of Uriu.
