It’s finally here: the big cover reveal for Elder! I’ll be honest with you…I’m both thrilled and saddened by this event. Elder marks my sixth book in the Estilorian series. After this release, I’ll be focusing my writing energy elsewhere. Saying goodbye to characters who have been with me for this many books is awfully hard.
That said, I hope to make the Elder launch the best, most fun one yet! Helping me make this dream a reality is a group of amazing bloggers and authors. My thanks go out to all of them, and I hope you’ll drop by and visit their blogs:

I can’t thank everyone enough for supporting me and the Estilorians! Now…onto the reveal and launch date announcement. First, let’s check out the blurb for Elder:
ELDER (Firstborn Trilogy, Book Three)
Clara Kate is one of the eight beings needed to activate the Elder Scroll, an ancient artifact causing tragedy and darkness on the Estilorian plane. She knows that her focus needs to be on finding the final piece and stopping the evil Mercesti, but Ini-herit isn’t making it easy.
He’s working closely with Clara Kate on the quest to stop their enemies…too close for her comfort. His presence serves as a constant reminder of the love they shared on the human plane, a love that he no longer remembers at all.
Her life and the lives of those she loves are at risk, and she knows she has to put aside her personal problems. So far on their journey, she’s endured heartbreak, terror, pain and loss. She’s even been brought to the brink of death.
She thinks things can’t get any worse.
She’s wrong.

And now, the cover reveal. As with all of the Estilorian covers, Elder was designed by the brilliant Devan Edwards of Nimbi Design. If you’re in the market, be sure to hire her! Now, a drum roll please…
What do you think??
Elder will be released on December 27th. Be sure to add it to your To-Read list on Goodreads and check back here for updates. Thanks so much for stopping by!
I am so happy to have been on the Estilorian ride. The cover is FANTASTIC and I can’t wait for the book.
I too am sad to say goodbye to the lovely, vibrant and multifaceted characters. On the other hand, I can’t wait to see what else you have up your sleeve. ;-)
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the support, Gracey. Thanks so much!
Awesome! Congratulations!
Thanks, Bethany! :)
FABULOUS! LOVE IT Congrats, Raine.
Thanks, Kimberly!
I CAN’T WAIT!!!! The cover looks fabulous:) And I’m sad that this will be the last one in the series, but I am so thankful that there have been so many stories in this universe and I’m excited to read anything else you write in the future! Thank you for sharing your amazing stories:)
You made my day, Aleah! Thanks so much for checking out the cover. Can’t wait for you to read the last in the Estilorian saga!
I can’t believe this series is almost over :( I have waited for every book since Becoming came out and it seems surreal that it’s ending. I’m looking forward to reading elder though! i’m so excited!!! Congratulations on an awesome two series though Raine, can’t wait for what you have next coming out! :)
Aww…thanks so much, Brooke! As you know, the Estilorians are long-lived. You never know when they might make a brief appearance again in the future. ;)
Such a pretty cover! I love how all the covers match in the color scheme and the color of eyes. =D
Thanks so much, Sana! :)
The cover looks beautiful! I can’t wait to read Elder – Ini-herit is one of my fav characters :)
You know I appreciate your input, Henrietta! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts on the Elder cover. :)
I am sad to see your books end! I loved them all!
Thanks so much, Sandy! As I’ve mentioned to other Estilorian fans, these are immoral beings, so you never know when another story could emerge. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the other stories I plan to share. :)
I have to say that I absolutely LOVE the first five covers. They are different than any other out there. They are absolutely spectacular! They are why I bought the series. While this cover is cool .. its like too many others out there .. the breathtaking factor the first five have is just not in this one. I am truly sorry to say that .. I was totally looking forward to seeing this one .. in the same light as the first ones. So I’m a little disappointed with the cover but I can’t wait to read the book. You have done a fabulous job with this series.. it is one of my all time favorites. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with us.
I appreciate your honesty, Pamela!
