It’s finally here, the cover for Augment, due out in June 2018.

Isn’t it pretty!!!!

(Note that’s not a question)

I love the colours on this, especially the way the low-poly seems to be rising up to meet the hand. I love how the hand is reaching and tentative. The fonts, and the stylized A, which is the symbol that will tie the series together.

Augment, by C R MacFarlane:

Every day is the same.  She waits in her cell.  The guards sedate her and take her for new and painful experiments.  It has been this way since she was a little girl.  But no matter the torture, she refuses to show them the monster inside — maybe she can still be human, maybe they will let her go.

Galiant Idim is a freightship captain, condemned to run the long haul in the Deep Black, for a crime he refuses to remember.  With his head down, he carries his cargo and stays well out of notice of the Speakers.  For to defy them is to defy the Gods, and to defy the Gods … well, he won’t ever do it again.

Until the Poet Laureate comes to rescue his sister from her prison, and take her away on Captain Idim’s ship.  He knows Gal’s secret, knows it is as dark as his own — if anyone will take the risk, it’s him.  But is she the girl he used to know?  Is Gal the man the Poet thinks he is, or have the demons already consumed him?

Augment is the first book in the Red Fever Trilogy.  A twisting tale of inner demons, haunting pasts, love, and daring.
