So excited to present the cover for THE TEARS OF THE ROSE, the second book in Jeffe  Kennedy’s new The Twelve Kingdoms series from Kensington:

The first book in The Twelve Kingdoms series is The Mark of the Tala, which will be out on May 27th. I was fortunate enough to read an advance copy and LOVED IT. I can’t wait for this next book in the series now and the first one isn’t even officially Released yet…while we wait, Mark of the Tala is available for pre-order at Amazon. Here’s the story of the first book in the trilogy:

The tales tell of three sisters, daughters of the high king. The eldest, a valiant warrior-woman, heir to the kingdom. The youngest, the sweet beauty with her Prince Charming. No one says much about the middle princess, Andromeda. Andi, the other one.

Andi doesn’t mind being invisible. She enjoys the company of her horse more than court, and she has a way of blending into the shadows. Until the day she meets a strange man riding, who keeps company with wolves and ravens, who rules a land of shapeshifters and demons. A country she’d thought was no more than legend–until he claims her as its queen.

In a moment everything changes: Her father, the wise king, becomes a warlord, suspicious and strategic. Whispers call her dead mother a traitor and a witch. Andi doesn’t know if her own instincts can be trusted, as visions appear to her and her body begins to rebel.

For Andi,** the time to learn her true nature has come. . .
