Welcome the The Cover Contessa's stop for Dawn Jayne's Uprising blog tour hosted by Read Between The Lines Tours!
Heralds are the most powerful of all angels, secretive and feared, created for a single purpose. Only those most courageous and worthy earn a place within the elite choir, and only by breaking ancient oaths held sacred can the honor be stripped. It's a punishment that hasn't been imposed in over two-thousand years, until a single reckless act sets off a firestorm, threatening to consume all creation.
Rise Hawke never suspected she'd been marked to play a role in the deadly events unfolding in the spiritual realm. Independent and resistant to authority, she isn't thrilled when she meets Dominik, an angel with new wings, an old grudge, and a mysterious agenda he's determined to impose.
Vowing to uncover the secrets kept from her, Rise soon learns that knowing what you are isn't nearly as dangerous as discovering why. Hunted by those who want to destroy her, and controlled by those who would see her fulfill her purpose, she is forced into a brutal battle set in motion long before she was ever born. It soon becomes clear that what one angel will risk to earn the title of Herald, is matched only by what another will do to keep it
Dawn Jayne is an Urban and Paranormal Fantasy author from Indianapolis, Indiana USA.Dawn was an avid reader from a young age, and her desire to write took hold soon thereafter. She loaded up on creative writing classes in school, and posted short stories online to hone her skills - and to make certain she had the thick skin necessary to survive the world of publication!
Uprising is Dawn's first novel, but one that has been in her head for most of her life in one form or another. No matter what job she held - from being a Marine to a mother to a veterinary receptionist - she was always hearing voices and spinning tales in her head. Uprising is a blend of fantasy, spirituality, ancient arts and astrology, all woven together while keeping a foundation in the real world.
Her manuscript was accepted by Time and Tide Publishing in 2012, the first in what will be a three book series. She hopes her story will be a positive contribution to the wonderful Urban Fantasy genre, and wants nothing more than her words to bring enjoyment to readers.
Dawn lives with her family on the Southside of Indianapolis
Currently I'm reading fantasy exclusively.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your favorite genre to read? Why, YA oh course! Thanks for asking :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway! I'm not sure if I'd heard of this before or not... the cover and author's name look familiar, so I have probably at least seen it on either Goodreads or Amazon (or both), but in any case I'd not investigated it. So thanks for introducing it to me! I'm definitely intrigued, and it sure does have a great rating on Goodreads.
ReplyDeleteSo, my favorite genre...I always answer this by saying that there are really two that stand above the rest for me, and they just flip back and forth between #1 and #2 throughout the years, depending on my mood, where I am in life, etc. Those two genres are science fiction/fantasy and historical fiction. I'd say for at least the past year and a half, I've read much more SFF, but there are quite a few hist fic YA books out or coming out that I really am excited for, so that could change!
Right now, my fav genres are new adult or paranormal romance
ReplyDeleteI love dystopian, suspense, thriller, and horror stories. :)
