Cover Reveal ~ Mirror's Fate by Justine Alley Dowsett ~ #DarkFantasy #Romance #Fantasy @MirrorWorldPub


Mirror World Publishing and Sapphyria's Book Promotions present the cover reveal for

Mirror's Fate by Justine Alley Dowsett




About Mirror's Fate:

Balance is Everything

The Mask Tendro picked up after the battle in the Mirror World is more than it seems. When he puts it on he is flooded with all the memories of his previous lives and all the ways his future could play out. Choosing to destroy the Mask instead of giving into the temptation of hiding beneath it, Tendro decides that this time he’s going to do things differently. And that means staying one step ahead of Caralain in his own world and the one that Mirrors it.

Mirena agrees to help Tendro with his plan, even though it will have her facing harsher consequences for her involvement in the attack on the Capital. But in order to break the cycle, they’re both going to have to tread into uncharted territory and face down friends and enemies alike. Alliances shift, fates change, and the past comes back to haunt them as they finally unravel the secrets of the Mirror Worlds and their places in them.

About Crimson Winter: City of Ruby:

Reeling after the fall of the Kingdom of Taiyou, Yukari Namikoya and her remaining allies find themselves reduced to scared refugees hidden far below the earth in the Temple of Machalite. The dreaded Lady Lilyth rules in Taiyou now and threatens to bring the whole world under her dominion one piece at a time.

My Review:

City of Ruby is a wonderful young adult science-fiction novel. Yukari Namikoya is now part of the remaining group of allies hiding below earth after the fall of the Kingdom of Taiyou. The new leader of Taiyou, Lady Lilyth rules the streets with thoughts of grandeur. Complete control or systematic destruction are the only acceptable options. To secure freedom for herself and her allies, Yukari travels to the Ruby City in an effort to discover secrets hidden for years.

I enjoyed this young adult, scifi, fantasy novel by J. A. Dowsett. The story is well-written and I was engaged from the very beginning. The character development progresses well as Yukari's story is told. The world building allows the reader the visualize the story and feel the emotions of the characters. You can't help but get pulled in and root for Yukari. The Yukari's character is strong, cast into a role that makes her a savior. 

City of Ruby is a fun adventure full of action.

I was provided a copy of this book to read.

Exclusive Excerpt:

The inhuman screams of the Lillem were repeated from various directions and I wasted no time, whirling to face the person I had just saved.

“Yukari?” The exchange student was regarding me wide-eyed, no doubt shocked by what he had just witnessed.

I took his reaction in stride at first, grabbing hold of his arm to pull him away from here, but then I realized what he had just said. He knew my name…

Perhaps he had heard it in the classroom this morning, but even if he had that still didn’t explain the familiarity with which he had spoken it. That accent, so memorable, speaking my name; I was certain I had heard it before.

“Masaru,” I responded and his name, who he was, and how much he meant to me came flooding back all at once, as if whatever had tried to keep the information from me hadn’t been enough to contain it forever.

This was Masaru. My Knight, my Roughlander, and the love of my life – how could I ever have forgotten him?  It just didn’t seem possible, but then again none of this had made any sense since the beginning.

The red fog was swirling everywhere now, but it didn’t leave me unable to function like it had before. It also didn’t seem internal any longer, but instead it threatened to destroy the landscape before me, eating at the floor and the walls here and there, making them look less than solid.

Masaru was studying me curiously, as if he was battling his own inner fog. The expression on his face was so familiar to me and I realized I had seen it before. I had left Masaru behind once because he couldn’t remember who he was back at the Roughlander Sanctioned Outpost in Taiyou. I had left him there and it had resulted in him almost losing his life to Fuzen.

This time Fuzen lay dead on the floor behind me, but I could hear the Lillem scratching at the door now, trying to break it down to get to us – their prey. I wasn’t going to leave him behind again, no matter what; I had promised I would always keep him safe. 

“Masaru,” I said his name once more as behind me I heard the door crash inwards to admit the hoard of Lillem.

He met my eyes, his expression muddled as he struggled to regain his own will and memories. I willed him to succeed, but I could hear the Lillem behind us now as they scrabbled across the room, their talons clacking ominously along the tiled floor. Memories flooding back to me steadily now, I did what I had done the last time to try and snap him out of his haze and kissed him full on the lips.

It worked; I could feel it as Masaru returned the kiss with feeling.

It lasted only a moment, which was all we had time for before the Lillem reached us. I pulled back from him and gave him a push forward. “Go!”

Book Review & #Giveaway ~ Crimson Winter Vol. 1: Ruins of Sapphire by Justine Alley Dowsett ~ Young Adult, SciFi, Fantasy, Adventure @MirrorWorldPub


About the Book:

When Japanese high school student Yukari Namikoya finds herself suddenly and inexplicably on another planet, she must quickly come to terms with the fact that she may never see Tokyo again. With a sun that never sets, the desert world of Crimson Winter is on the brink of extinction and day-to-day survival can be difficult; especially for someone used to the modern-day conveniences of Earth.

Following the only clue she has to a way home – a cryptic message from a woman long dead – Yukari heads into the desert searching for the Temple of Sapphire. There, she finds the temple in ruins, but what waits there for her is her destiny as a Chosen of the gem god Sapphiros.

Stranded on this new world and hunted by the Vile Emperor and his vast forces simply for being what she is, Yukari has no choice but to learn how to fulfill the role she’s been cast into and become the long-awaited saviour of a dangerous planet she doesn’t yet understand.

My Review:

Ruins of Sapphire is a wonderful young adult science-fiction novel. Tokyo native Yukari Namikoya finds herself trapped in Ground Hog's Day scenario (only her repeat day is a Tuesday) with subtle differences. After a few days of Tuesday resetting, Yukari and her friends find themselves in another land, on another planet. As they try to figure out where they are, they discover the world is not like their beloved earth and modern amenities are lacking. On the run, Yukari must embrace who she is on a planet she knows nothing about.

I enjoyed this young adult, sci-fi novel by J. A. Dowsett. The story is well-written and I was engaged from the very beginning. The character development progresses well as Yukari's story is told. The world building allows the reader the visualize the story and feel the emotions of the characters. You can't help but get pulled in and root for Yukari. The Yukari's character is strong, cast into a role that makes her a savior. That's a lot for the shoulders of a teen.

Ruins of Sapphire is a fun adventure full of action. I look forward to reading book 2.

I was provided a copy of this book to read.
