Today I am absolutely honoured to release J D Evans’s cover for her upcoming novel, Ice & Ivy. The fourth novel in her ongoing and SPFBO winning Mages of the Wheel series launches August 19, 2023 and I am so excited to get my grubby little hands on it! J. D. Evans has an ARC request form right now, so if you are a fan of the series, make sure to sign up and maybe you’ll get an advance copy!
Those who hope
She is a void, the empty balance of magic.
When the Grand Vizier seeks to humiliate a man who has crossed him, a woman of the humblest origins is entangled in political webs far beyond her understanding and bound into a marriage she cannot escape. She does not know who is an ally, and who is an enemy. But she does know she is drawn to the man whose dreams and heart seem made of ice.
He is a mage broken, whose magic has been warped.
The Blight ravages both Tamar and Sarkum, and their people, and armies, are starving. Violence and protests in Narfour have the city on the brink of rebellion. When Ihsan sees a chance to gain an ally with the only productive land left in Tamar for his cousin, the Sultana, he takes it. But nothing is as it seems when Behram Kadir is involved. Ihsan knows he should not trust the woman who has upended his life, even if she is the first warmth he has felt since fire stole everything from him.
Since Ice & Icy is the fourth in the series, our tease fuel comes with all the other books. I can’t resist how gorgeous this art is!
