Exclusive Cover Reveal: Call the Storm by RoAnna Sylver

Today on the site I’m delighted to welcome back RoAnna Sylver, to reveal the cover of the third book in the Chameleon Moon series, Call the Storm, backable starting October 1, 2026 for publication in March 2028! Here’s the story:

The storm of the century is coming. It’s been ten years since the fires below Parole were set ablaze, never to be stopped. Its people–superhuman, terrifying, innocent, beautiful–have spent that time quarantined behind energy barriers, struggling to survive against a militarized police force, and now the city’s begun to Collapse into its forever-fire.

Parole has reached a breaking point. Its population is even more desperate, and Eye in the Sky more vicious. The barriers are fraying, holes opening, letting smoke out and clean air in, and raindrops–and hope.

Something’s going to give. Instead of fire, a tidal wave is building. If anything at all is going to be okay, they’ll just have to ride it out together.

And here’s the electrifying cover by Laya Rose!

Fathers and Fugitives by S.J. Naudé, translated by Michiel Heyns

Daniel is a worldly and urbane journalist living in London. His relationships appear to be sexually fulfilling but sentimentally meager. A young gay man with no relationships outside of sexual ones, he can seem at once callow and, at times, cold to the point of cruel with his lovers. Emotionally distant from his elderly, senile father, Daniel nonetheless returns to South Africa to care for him during his final months. Following his father’s death, Daniel learns of an unusual clause in the old man’s will: he will only inherit his half of his father’s considerable estate once he has spent time with Theon, a cousin whom he hasn’t seen since they were boys, who lives on the old family farm in the Free State. Once there, Daniel discovers that the young son of the woman Theon lives with is seriously ill. With the conditions bearing on Daniel’s inheritance shifting in real time, Theon and Daniel travel with the boy to Japan for an experimental cure and a voyage that will change their lives forever.
