It is my pleasure to host a cover reveal of Cas Peace's latest work, The Scarecrow: Master of Malice, Book 1
Description:
Pure evil rises once again in Albia…
Three years have passed since Baron Reen’s trial. A terrible
accident on the island of his exile has transformed him into a nightmarish
scarecrow creature with dark, mysterious powers. Staging his own suicide, Reen
breaks free of his prison and, with the help of the former queen Sofira, embarks
on a ruthless quest for vengeance against his worst enemy, the woman
responsible for the overthrow of his schemes and his own ruination: Brynne Sullyan.
Sullyan is tasked with investigating Reen’s suicide. The missing
body and a series of disasters in Port Loxton—a vicious murder, a brutal
ambush, and a devastating fire—raise suspicions in her mind. She probes deeper,
determined to uncover the truth, unsuspecting of the evil that’s about to be
unleashed…
Praise for The Scarecrow:
“Cas Peace’s Artesans of Albia trilogy immediately
sweeps you away. The Artesan series propels you into a world so deftly
written that you see, feel, touch, and even smell each twist and turn. These
nesting novels are evocative, hauntingly real. Smart. Powerful. Compelling. The
trilogy teems with finely drawn characters, heroes and villains and societies
worth knowing; with stories so organic and yet iconic you know you’ve found
another home—in Albia. So start reading now. I, for one, can’t wait to
find out what will happen next.”
--Janet Morris: The
Sacred Band of Stepsons; the Dream Dancer series; I, the Sun; Outpassage.
“I have just loved this entire series. Cas Peace
is a master storyteller, providing a depth and breadth of information about her
worlds and their people that is just staggering. Her characters are complex and
multi-dimensional, and I have very much enjoyed reading this series. I am also
looking forward with great anticipation to her next novel in this series. I
heartily recommend this series to anyone who enjoys epic fantasy, strong
world-building, and beautiful storytelling. Highly recommended!”
--K Sozaeva, Amazon

“As a
fan of the late great David Gemmel I think I have finally found an author who
is similarly inspiring. It’s how fantasy should be written. Less about the
world building and more about the characters. I didn’t want to stop reading.”
--ML. H, Amazon reviewer.
“A superb read. Non stop intrigue and action. I literally
could not put it down. Anyone needing a good series to read should take up Book
1 and get started. Cas Peace has created an unforgettable hero(ine) in Sullyan
and a world that ranks alongside Middle Earth and Westeros.
