In November of this year the fourth Gryphon Series novel, Ascension, will launch but it won't be alone! The previous books in the series will be jam packed with exciting new goodies! Each will have illustrations to bring some of your favorite moments to life, the NEVER BEFORE IN PRINT Sidekick Chronicles will be included in Embrace and Sacrifice, AND they have brand new covers! Ladies and Gentlemen, without any further ado, I give you the new Gryphon Series Covers:
Ascension, releasing November 2013
From best selling and award winning author Stacey Rourke
comes the heart-pounding continuation of the acclaimed Gryphon Series.
The turning point of the Gryphon saga is at hand …
Battle looms. Three unstoppable forces prepare to clash in a colossal explosion that could wipe Gainesboro off the map. Fate and sacred calling have landed nineteen year old Celeste Garrett in the middle with nowhere to run.
Her trust wavers as she uncovers dark secrets of the Council, powerful enough to test her loyalty and turn her against those she swore to protect. Playing to the longing of her heart, a malevolent enemy uses her weakness against her to form an alliance.
With the trumpets of war about to sound, which side will the
Conduit choose, and who will be left standing?
Oh, but that's not all kids!! As I mentioned inside each book will be original illustrations. Because I love you all, here's a sneak peek;

The demonic and fantasy elements
of the Conduit’s journey will jump off the page thanks to Robert Immings;

ReplyDeleteEmbrace and Ascension are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI like embrace because i like where they tiger and gabe blend together
ReplyDeleteSacrifice because of her eyes and how different each side looks.
ReplyDeleteSacrifice with the twins
ReplyDeleteAscension
ReplyDeletePicking 1 is such a hard choice! I love them all! Ascension is beautiful & mysterious. Sacrifice is awesome! I love the split sides! Embrace is amazing, & even my son said "That is so cool!" Conduit is gorgeous! I love everything from the wings to the rainbow sky!
ReplyDeleteI love the duality of Sacrifice. That there is a bit of good and evil inside of each of us. They are simply beautiful. Very difficult to pick just one.
ReplyDeleteEmbrace is my fave cover by far although the others are beautiful
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Sacrifice because my beautiful twin daughters are on the cover!! SQUEEEE
ReplyDeleteIt is very hard to pick just one as my favorite, but I think I have to say Sacrifice! It so accurately depicts what happens to one of the characters in the book and it is soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteSacrifice! Just love the two different sides and because Muzz05 Twin daughters are on the cover :)
ReplyDeleteI love embrace. The new covers are all so cool..
ReplyDeleteThe Conduit
ReplyDeleteThe Conduit and Ascension are my faves
ReplyDeleteEmbrace would be my favorite. Something about a man and a lion morphing. It just draws me in more.
ReplyDeleteThey are all awesome but I think book 2 is the most appealing.
ReplyDeleteEmbrace, Ascension, Embrace, Ascension...Can't decide! Both are too pretty and just awesome.
ReplyDeleteEmbrace would have to be my favorite cover, its so beautifully done :)
ReplyDeleteLove them all!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the conduit
