I know I am super sporadic with posting on here so I have good news. I took some time off from my day job so get ready for a slew of reveals, releases and reviews. Because all these things are scheduled for the around the same time. The vacation is for family reason so a lot of these posts are all scheduled in advance.
The first post in this blogging blitz is a cover reveal for Anna Tan’s newest novel, Absolution. I know Anna from my wonderful writing group the Ironsharpeners. I had the honor of being able to read Absolution as she was writing it.
Absolution
If cursed is the hand that kills, then it wouldn’t matter if that same hand stole, would it?
Tulen feels doubly cursed, forced to serve the bratty princess of Impian as punishment for her crimes. When said princess embarks on a pilgrimage, Tulen grabs her only chance to offer a sacrifice at the holy city of Suci—and maybe, finally, feel clean again.
Sultan Mikal has set his face towards Suci—and certain death. Nothing about his Penance is clear, except the fact that if he fails, Terang will fall along with him.
When Tulen’s pilgrimage intersects with Sultan Mikal’s quest to fulfil the Covenant of Salt, Tulen faces a difficult dilemma: What is her absolution worth in the face of the sultanate’s very existence?

Absolution is the third book in her Absolution series but even if you missed the first two books I feel like this one stands well on its own. But the first two books really are worth checking out.
