Sworn To Raise (Courtlight #1)by Terah Edun
to be published March 15, 2013
Seventeen-year-old Ciardis has grown up in poverty, a cleaner in a small vale on the outskirts of the kingdom. But beneath her kingdom’s seemingly idyllic surface lies a hidden secret. Whispers of an inept crown Prince are growing ever louder—intensified by the five year anniversary of the soulbond initiations.I think this is really pretty! And I really appreciate that the girl isn't in some awkward pose, it looks quite natural. What do you think?
Amidst scandalous whispers, Ciardis finds herself chosen to train for the Companion’s Guild. She leaves her home and sets off on a personal journey to become a Court Companion. A position she’d never thought possible for a lowly servant to obtain, she must prove that she has the skills to attract a Patron.
But she must master those skills quickly. If the legends are true, only Ciardis can harness the power to raise a Prince in an Imperial Court sworn to bring him down.
This sensational series debut melds intricate storylines with remarkable characters and unforgettable magic. Sworn To Raise is ideal for fans of Kristin Cashore, Michelle Sagara, and Maria Snyder.

This is such a lovely cover! I love the orange/red color scheme going on here, and the glow behind the text adds a nice pop to the title. I also love the girl's dress!! It's beautiful. Not to mention a great synopsis as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Jenni. =)
I completely agree with you on the pose thing, but as for the dress. Umm.. she better wear that dress on some point, haha. I just hate it when all the girls have these gorgeous gowns and the characters end up not wearing them. That's pretty random, if you ask me. Nonetheless, this one is pretty beautiful:) Thank you for sharing, Jenni!
ReplyDeleteOK. I might be the only one, but I'm not digging that cover. I think I'm just tired of seeing girls in beautiful dresses. Still, I like the sound of the book. It seems like something I might enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Jenni! :)
I love the background! I think the sun setting over the water and the beach is really pretty. I think her dress is lovely with the colors in the back. I think since there hasn't been as many girl in pretty dress covers recently it doesn't bother me, but if it had been a few months ago I would have rolled my eyes.
