🔥 Cover Reveal: Reborn in Shadows: Through the Fire

I’ve been waiting for this moment — the chance to finally share the full wraparound cover for Reborn in Shadows: Through the Fire, the second book in The Ryder Chronicles.

Before I show you the completed cover design, I want to let the artwork speak for itself.

The Artwork

Cover art for Reborn In Shadows: Through The Fire

This piece is the work of my longtime friend and collaborator, JD Brosius. JD has been part of my life since 2018, and his art is literally part of me — tattooed on my skin and now wrapped around the books that carry my words. I couldn’t imagine anyone else capturing Miriam and Ava’s journey with such fire, intensity, and heart.

The image tells the story at a glance: two women running hand in hand through the flames, the specter of danger looming behind them, and hands reaching through the fire — a visual representation of both threat and salvation.

The Final Cover Design

Now, here’s how that art comes together as the finished wraparound cover:

This is the version you’ll soon hold in your hands — complete with spine, back cover text, and the details that make it ready for bookstore shelves.

Why This Matters

Through the Fire continues Miriam and Ava’s story after From the Ashes. It’s about survival, resilience, and love that refuses to be broken even when the world tries to burn it away. The flames in this cover aren’t just background — they’re symbolic of what it means to build a life through adversity and still come out stronger.

I can’t wait to share this next chapter of The Ryder Chronicles with you on October 11, 2025 — National Coming Out Day. And I can’t wait to see this cover in readers’ hands, living alongside the story inside.
