Hey Book Nerds! :D How are you all doing today? Today I'm posting something a little different; it's going to be a cover reveal for the book Raksha by a debut author, Frankie Rose! :) I hadn't heard of this author or book before I signed up for this post, but the look looks fantastic. ^.^ Keep scrolling to see the wonderful cover. I think the cover is bad-ass! I love it. :) The girl on the cover is so pretty and punk-like and the background and colours are incredible. I'd buy this book just for the cover appeal - although I love the looks of the book, too! :)

She has no name. She has her knives; her training; her halo.
The first and second give her the tools and the skill to defeat the opponents she is pitted against each month. The third frees her from pain and fear. From any kind of emotion at all. Everything is as it should be. Everything is as it should be, until…

Love.
When a newly-named Kit escapes the Sanctuary after killing her best friend, the last thing she needs is another knife in her hand. Or Ryka, the damaged, beautiful blonde boy, who she refuses to let save her. Still learning how to process the onslaught of her new feelings, the sights and sounds of Freetown are overwhelming and strange. There are a hundred differences between her old home and her new one, but one thing remains starkly similar: the matches. Yet where the blood in the Sanctuary landed only on the colosseum floor, Kit will quickly learn that a river of red runs through Freetown’s very streets.
Freed from the oppression of a society who stole her right to feel, the true horror of her old life leaves Kit wondering if she really has been freed at all. Would she be better off without the crippling horror of all the blood on her hands, or is the love of one boy worth living through all the pain?
Raksha is the call of the dead. It is the rumbling chant for fresh blood from the other side, the demand for sacrifice. The colosseum is behind Kit. The fighting pits await.
