It’s finally here—and I could not be more excited to share it with you. The cover for Beast of Zarall, the second book in the Twilight of Blood series, is officially out in the wild.

Designed by the brilliant team at Miblart, this cover captures everything I wanted for this story—grit, weight, atmosphere, and just enough quiet rage. It reflects the tone and the character growth of Beast at the heart of it all…

You’ve met and loved him in Lion of Zarall, but you haven’t truly seen him until now.

They called his name.
Lion of Zarall.
“No,” he whispered to the darkness. “That’s not my name anymore.”

Beast knows what he is—a slave, trained to kill, conditioned to obey, stripped of choice. For years, he lived only to serve.

Until now.

On his way to be sold back to the arenas, his only chance at freedom lies in convincing Olira—the woman who owns his life and sees him as nothing but a dangerous, mindless tool—to let him win it.

But what he asks from her has a price, and Beast has nothing left to bargain with. Nothing except the dark shape lurking inside him.

A voice that promises him vengeance and power.

A voice that wants out.

When nightmares turn real and enemies close in, Beast must decide what he’s willing to become. The only thing worse than being owned is becoming something no one can control.

Beast of Zarall is the second book of Twilight of Blood series. Perfect for fans of grimdark fantasy, morally complex characters, and worlds that will hook you in.
