The cover for The End Games has been zipping around the blogs.  I can’t tell you how delighted I’ve been thrilled by the wonderful response.

And so while this doesn’t strictly count as a “reveal,” it’s the first time I’m sharing the cover myself.

And I have to say, y’all:  I adore it.

Actual fact:  The first time I saw it, I teared up.

Frightening and wonder-filled, beautiful and ominous, the cover that Balzer + Bray and designer Jon Smith came up with is everything I’d dreamed it could be.  Thank you so much for Donna Bray, Joanna Volpe, and everyone else for working so hard to create this magical image.

(Also, big thanks to Lenore Appelhans and YA Highway for allowing me to share the cover with their readers!)

The cover:

“The End Games is full of both jaw-dropping action and heart-twisting beauty. It’s a thrill ride that makes you think and feel: terrifying and joyful, funny and moving. In so many ways The End Games is the book I was waiting for and didn’t know it until I had it in my hands.”

— Sara Zarr, National Book Award finalist
