Fans are already clamoring to get their hands on the final book in The Nevernight Chronicle, Jay Kristoff's New York Times Best Selling adult fantasy series that began with NEVERNIGHT, continued with GODSGRAVE, and will now conclude on September 4, 2018, with DARKDAWN.

This week, publisher Thomas Dunne Books / Macmillan revealed the cover and summary for the epic finale, and the internet exploded with excitement. The covers have all been composed by the amazingly talented designer Jason Chan, whose work graces the front of more books than you may realize!

On Tor.com, Kristoff stated,

It's always incredible to work with an artist as talented as Jason Chan, but this is easily my favorite of all his covers. We usually bounce around a few ideas in the planning stages, but with this one, he knew exactly where to take it and knocked it out of the park first draft. It's pure badass.

Today, BroadwayWorld Books is treating readers to an early look at the brand-new cover for DARKDAWN, as well as a summary!

Are you ready to see the cover for what promises to be another instant best-seller for Kristoff?

SUMMARY:

The greatest games in Godsgrave's history have ended with the most audacious murders in the history of the Itreyan Republic.

Mia Corvere, gladiatii, escaped slave and infamous assassin, is on the run. Pursued by Blades of the Red Church and soldiers of the Luminatii legion, she may never escape the City of Bridges and Bones alive. Her mentor Mercurio is now in the clutches of her enemies. Her own family wishes her dead. And her nemesis, Consul Julius Scaeva, stands but a breath from total dominance over the Republic.

But beneath the city, a dark secret awaits. Together with her lover Ashlinn, brother Jonnen and a mysterious benefactor returned from beyond the veil of death, she must undertake a perilous journey across the Republic, seeking the final answer to the riddle of her life. Truedark approaches. Night is falling on the Republic for perhaps the final time.

Can Mia survive in a world where even daylight must die?

ABOUT NEVERNIGHT:

BWW Cover Reveal: DARKDAWN by Jay Kristoff  ImageIn a land where three suns almost never set, a fledgling killer joins a school of assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers who destroyed her family.

Daughter of an executed traitor, Mia Corvere is barely able to escape her father's failed rebellion with her life. Alone and friendless, she hides in a city built from the bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and her father's former comrades. But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the door of a retired killer, and a future she never imagined.

Now, Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic-the Red Church. If she bests her fellow students in contests of steel, poison and the subtle arts, she'll be inducted among the Blades of the Lady of Blessed Murder, and one step closer to the vengeance she desires. But a killer is loose within the Church's halls, the bloody secrets of Mia's past return to haunt her, and a plot to bring down the entire congregation is unfolding in the shadows she so loves.

Will she even survive to initiation, let alone have her revenge?
