Cover Reveal! Calligraphy Guild by R. M. Archer

January 24, 2022 / 32 Comments

Hello, hello, TWNers! I must admit some of my favorite posts ever are cover reveals. How could you NOT love the chance to stare at a beautiful cover???? It’s like the best thing in the world.

Besides chocolate, that is. 😉

And today I’m here to help out with indie author R.M. Archer‘s newest fantasy release’s cover reveal!

But first DA BLURB!!! no scrolling ahead. And that’s an order. XD

Dragon ink gives calligraphers the power to set history in stone—or to change it.

Lai Duyên’s dreams are realized when she’s admitted into the ranks of the calligraphers, authors considered trustworthy enough to defend time from those who would change it. She’s thrilled at the opportunity to record her country’s history, and to work with the other calligraphers in her village.

But when Duyên’s guild is set upon by ancient dragons demanding a time-changer be destroyed, her world is flipped upside down. Her guildmates turn on each other, suspicion coloring their every move. To make matters worse, she’s begun hearing the dragons in her head and finds them impossible to block out: a condition that rendered her grandmother insane.

With the calligraphy guild in turmoil and Duyên’s ever-present fear of madness clouding her vision, will the group be able to discover which of their guildmates has altered time before the dragons pass judgment on them all?

EEEEEEKKK JUST DOESN’T THAT SOUND SO AWESOME!!!!! I had the honor to be a beta reader for this novel, so I can tell you it’s one to keep a lookout for! I can’t wait to read the fully edited verse too!!! Go ahead and add it to your Goodread’s to-read shelf and sign up to the author’s newsletter to get a sneak peek of the first chapter!!!

And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for

So. Pretty!

So let me know down in the comments below. What do you think of the cover? Do you like fantasy novels and/or are excited for this one? Who thinks dragon stories are just THE best?! I wanna hear all your thoughts!

    Yes!!!!!!! I love the oriental look of the houses and such. My dad and I love movies about ancient china and the cover looks amazing! Where is the book set?
    The premise sounds scary! Being able to control history with ink? I want it…………………😅😂🤣

      Oooo YESSSS!!!! I didn’t even notice the houses till you mentioned something, but now that I see them, I REALLY LOVE that oriental look too!! Aaaah, really, that is SO cool!!! AAAAH I AM SO GLAD TO HEAR YOU THINK SO!!!!!! The book is set in a fictional world but the setting is Asian-inspired. I think it’d be a story you’d really enjoy!!!
      Hahaha, yeah, it kinda does, but it’s not scary at all. YESSSS I THOUGHT THAT WAS SUCH A CREATIVE IDEA!!!!! Lol, 😂😂, YESS!!!!

      Whooop, whoop, I DID!!!! *pats myself on the back* ;P (Honestly, I waited until the last minute to put it together, so it’s a miracle. XD) SO DO I!! Girl, I FEEL you! I really don’t like digital reading, plus it takes me SO much longer to finish a book when I’m reading online. Paperbacks are superior! 😉 I guess June can’t come soon enough, right? Lol.
