Nadine Brandes is not only a fellow geek and friend of mine, she’s an incredible author. Her YA dystopian trilogy, the Out of Times Series has taken me along an emotional roller coaster and pulse-pounding adventure through the first two books.

A Time to Rise, the final book in the series, comes out in October (FINALLY!). Must be patient. Must be patient. Book two ended on a cliffhanger of diabolical proportions (in a I-love-this-but-it’s-still-terrible sort of way).

The good news?

That’s the subject of today’s post. The cover reveal for this highly anticipated conclusion to the Out of Time Series.

The first two covers were both really cool, and I loved how they each hinted at the story contained within.

And now, the moment of truth.

The cover for A Time to Rise…

Isn’t it gorgeous? Amazing how a good cover can draw you so effortlessly into the story and beg you to read it.

Speaking of the story…the synopsis, with MAJOR SPOILERS for the first two books. Read at your own risk.

What more can you sacrifice than your life?

Parvin Blackwater is dead.

At least…that’s what the Council—and the world—thinks. But her sacrifice tore down part of the Wall long enough to stir up hope and rebellion in the people. Now she will rise again. Strong, free, and fearless.

Parvin and Solomon must uncover the mysterious clues that Jude left behind in order to destroy the projected Wall once and for all. Meanwhile, the Council schemes to new levels of technology in its attempts to keep the people contained. Can a one-handed Radical and a scarred ex-Enforcer really bring shalom to the world?

I. Can’t. Wait.

What celebratory occasion (such as a cover reveal) would be complete without a giveaway? Check out the details.
