Is a fantasy novel even a fantasy novel without an incredible map to go with it?

Okay, so the answer is obviously yes, many fantasy books do not have maps in them, but we have to say we REALLY, REALLY LOVE when they DO! And we especially love when those maps are printed on the ENDPAPERS of the book (publishing tip: the endpapers are the pages glued to the case of the book, so all you have to do to see the full map is flip open the your hardcover).

Of course, we could make you wait until you can pick up your very own hardcover of There Will Come a Darkness on September 3 to see the stunning map in Katy Rose Pool's debut novel... BUT WE WON'T!

So without further ado, check out this stunning map for There Will Come a Darkness!

And, in case you need a refresher on what Katy Rose Pool's stunning debut is all about, be sure to check out the book description below!

There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool

Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows meets Kristin Cashore's Graceling, with a dash of Winter is Coming, in this showstopping debut YA fantasy!

The Age of Darkness approaches.

Five lives stand in its way.

Who will stop it . . . or unleash it?

For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity. Using their visions of the future, they ended wars and united nations—until the day, one hundred years ago, when the Prophets disappeared.

All they left behind was one final, secret prophecy, foretelling an Age of Darkness and the birth of a new Prophet who could be the world’s salvation . . . or the cause of its destruction. As chaos takes hold, five souls are set on a collision course:

A prince exiled from his kingdom.
A ruthless killer known as the Pale Hand.
A once-faithful leader torn between his duty and his heart. 
A reckless gambler with the power to find anything or anyone.
And a dying girl on the verge of giving up.

One of them—or all of them—could break the world. Will they be savior or destroyer?
