jpskewedthroneI'd like to point out that second book in Anton Strout's Spellmason Chronicles urban fantasy series, which is all about gargoyles in New York City, has just been released! Here's the cover art and cover copy, for those that might be interested.
Cover Copy: Alexandra Belarus was an artist stuck working in her New York family’s business until she discovered her true legacy--a deep and ancient magic. Lexi became the last practicing Spellmason, with the power to breathe life into stone. And as her powers awoke, so did her family’s most faithful protector: a gargoyle named Stanis. But when a centuries-old evil threatened her family and her city, Stanis sacrificed himself to save everything Lexi held dear.
With Stanis gone, Lexi’s efforts to master Spellmasonry--even with the help of her dedicated friends--are faltering. Hidden forces both watch her and threaten her, and she finds herself suddenly under the mysterious wing of a secret religious society determined to keep magic hidden from the world.
But the question of Stanis’s fate haunts her--and as the storm around her grows, so does the fear that she won’t be able to save him in her turn.
