Cover Reveal: BIRTH by Janell Rhiannon

Thank you for stopping by! And now, without further ado, the cover reveal for Birth, book one in the Livingstone Saga, by Janell Rhiannon. Read on for the synopsis, biography, and stalker links.

Synopsis:

Medieval Spain 1208 AD

When Iseo’s father sends her to the cathedral at Santiago de

Compostela—to await a profitable, arranged marriage—Father Tomas discovers her

natural talent for stone working and trains her to become the first female

Maker of Gargoyles. Guided by heavenly inspiration, she carves the sacred

stone, freeing the glorious gargoyle she names Celestino. He exists in a cycle

of flesh and blood for forty days, morphing between the body of a man and a

winged-lion, and resting for seven days in stone. Iseo knows the beast well,

but the man surprises her. Their mutual innocence complicates the natural bond

between Maker and gargoyle, as it blossoms with the first blush of love.

Sharing only a single kiss, they struggle to resist temptation, even as fate

cruelly tears them apart.

Celestino is a mighty adversary against the combined evil of

demons and Fallen angels, in the great battle between Heaven and Hell. He

possesses the strength to send demons screaming back to Hell, and the

consecrated heart to exorcise them from human souls.

When Celestino discovers that what he thought was demonic

possession is really decay of the soul, he discovers that hundreds of infant

baptisms performed by midwives were tainted. An encounter with a mysterious

Archangel reveals that someone is making use of an ancient relic known as the

Tear of Lucifer stone. Once the relic is used on a person, their soul is condemned

to Hell upon their death, with no hope of salvation.

The Arch promises to help Celestino destroy the stone and

punish the person responsible for bringing it to Santiago in the first place.

Iseo & Celestino … let their love possess you.
