Land of Guiding Lies by Tirzah Rae // A Cover Reveal

Hello, my dear voyagers.

My friend, Tirzah, is publishing her debut novel, Land of Guiding Lies, this year. I’ve been privileged enough to talk with her extensively about this story. I’ve seen the way her eyes light up with pure joy and hope when she talks about these characters and their journeys.

And she’s the real deal.

Tirzah isn’t one of those authors who’s out to push an agenda or shove Jesus down anyone’s throat. She’s here to shine light in the darkness and to remind you that there is still good in this world. Sometimes we have to seek it out, but if we do, she reminds us that it is possible to find it.

I’m endlessly proud of her and all that she’s accomplished, and I’m so beyond honored to help share the cover for this beautiful story.

To Tirzah: I know you’re reading this because you’re one of my most loyal followers. Thank you for trusting me with early versions of this story. Our friendship means the world to me, and I’m so proud of you. It’s been a journey to get here, and I hope that today you can sit back and revel in what God has done.

You’ve been so faithful, and He sees that. I love you. ❤

She’s here!! And she is STUNNING. I think my jaw genuinely dropped the first time I saw this beauty. Like the FEATHER? THE COMPASS SHAPE?? THE LITERAL SWIRLS OF MAGIC IN THE AIR?!?

I absolutely refuse to pick a favorite element of this cover (it’s the compass. I think that’s absolutely GENIUS), and I hope you spend at least five minutes reveling in her gorgeousness.

Stay tuned for the Kickstarter campaign!

About the Book

A scarred archer.

A reckless vigilante.

A desperate Fire-Gifted.

Rebellion brews in the heart of Panthera. For thirteen years, the nation has suffered beneath the rule of a tyrannical usurper. But whispers of rebellion are rising. The fallen Shadow Guard, once Panthera’s revered protectors, gather forces in hiding to reclaim their kingdom.

Elayna, an orphaned archer in the Shadow Guard, seeks to regain respect within the Guard’s ranks. But her loyalty to the Guard won’t prevent her from using them for her own vengeful plans.

Rowan fights for survival alongside his band of amateur vigilantes in a town occupied by soldiers who enforce the king’s cruel laws. He’s ready to join the bigger fight for Panthera’s freedom—if he can follow orders long enough to earn a place in the rebellion.

Jakk bears the Mark of the Phoenix, a mysterious and powerful magic that he doesn’t want and can’t control. He’ll do anything to wield magic without hurting anyone—even pledge loyalty to the Shadow Guard his grandfather once abandoned.

Elayna, Rowan, and Jakk launch into the Shadow Guard’s fight against the dark evil pervading Panthera. But years of tyranny have marked even the Guard, and pursuing the truth may cost the young rebels the freedom they seek. 

To see, and to be seen.
