Cover Reveal: Sworn to Raise by Terah Edun

I am happy to join up with Xpresso Book Tours to help reveal the beautiful cover for Terah Edun's upcoming release, Sworn to Raise.

Here's a little bit about the book:

Sworn to Raise by Terah Edun (Courtlight #1) - Publication date: March 15th, 2013

Seventeen-year-old Ciardis has grown up in poverty, a cleaner in a small vale on the outskirts of the  kingdom. But beneath her kingdom’s seemingly idyllic surface lies a hidden secret. Whispers of an inept crown Prince are growing ever louder—intensified by the five year anniversary of the soulbond  initiations.

Amidst scandalous whispers, Ciardis finds herself chosen to train for the Companion’s Guild. She leaves her home and sets off on a personal journey to become a Court Companion. A position she’d never thought possible for a lowly servant to obtain, she must prove that she has the skills to attract a Patron.

But she must master those skills quickly. If the legends are true, only Ciardis can harness the power to raise a Prince in an Imperial Court sworn to bring him down.

This sensational series debut melds intricate storylines with remarkable characters and unforgettable magic. Sworn To Raise is ideal for fans of Kristin Cashore, Michelle Sagara, and Maria Snyder.

And now, without further ado, the cover:

I love the bold colours! Plus, who can resist a cover with a pretty girl in a gorgeous dress? Looks great! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it in the comments!
