Hello bookworms! It is my pleasure to bring you another cover reveal today, in collaboration with Timy and Justine at Storytellers on Tour. In this post, I’ll be sharing the cover and synopsis for Truth and Other Lies, information about the author, Lyra Wolf. So without further ado, let’s look at the cover!
Truth and Other Lies
by Lyra Wolf
Series: The Nine Worlds Rising (#1)
Published: October 9, 2020 by Ravenwell Press
Genre: High Fantasy, Mythic Fantasy, Action and Adventure
NOTHING IS TRICKIER THAN THE TRUTH.
All Loki the trickster god of Asgard wants is a quiet, peaceful life where he’s free to needle Balder, occasionally stir up the inter-realm porridge pot, and get Thor to dress in women’s garments (for all the best reasons).
Getting beset by sudden, painful, and terribly inconvenient visions of blood, ash, and death are definitely not on his to-do list. But, because of some small, ridiculous remnant of caring that refuses to be extinguished, Loki feels he must save Asgard…and that means warning Odin, his least favorite god (next to Thor).
But getting the gods to believe the boy who cried Fenrir is harder than it looks, and time is running out, not just for Asgard, but also for a mortal woman named Sigyn who may just hold the key to Loki’s future.
Loki is about to find out the hard way that the only thing crueler than truth are the lies behind it all.
My Thoughts on the Cover
I love Norse mythology and Loki as the protagonist is always a pleasure to dive into. The cover of Truth and Other Lies has the right Norse vibe. I love the details that went into the borders the four elements at the corners of the border: the crescent moon, the war ship, the warrior and the bird. The two headed serpent is a great addition too and it speaks to me of the nature of truth and lies, how one blends into the other.
Last but not the least, the typography of the cover is right on! The dark green background compliments the white text and drew me in.
