Cover Reveal for ‘Common’

Laurie Lucking, a friend and fellow ACFW member, weaves fairy tale romance into fantasy adventure stories for young adults. Her debut novel, ‘Common’, is scheduled to release in February 2018. And I’m thrilled to share the beautiful cover design for her book.

Congratulations, Laurie! I am so happy for you!

About ‘Common’

One person knows of the plot against the royal family and cares enough to try to stop it—the servant girl they banished.

Leah spends her days scrubbing floors, polishing silver, and meekly curtsying to nobility. Nothing distinguishes her from the other commoners serving at the palace, except her red hair.

And her secret friendship with Rafe, the Crown Prince of Imperia.

But Leah’s safe, ordinary world begins to splinter. Unexpected feelings for Rafe surface just as his parents announce his betrothal to a foreign princess. Then she unearths a plot to overthrow the royal family. Her life shatters completely when the queen banishes her for treason.

Harbored by a mysterious group of nuns, Leah must secure Rafe’s safety before it’s too late. But her quest reveals a villain far more sinister than an ambitious nobleman with his eye on the throne.

Can a common maidservant summon the courage to fight for her dearest friend?
