Two copies of a hardcover book like on a teal and black cloth. The covers say THE BOOK OF THE DEAD edited by Jonathan Strahan and illustrated by Galen Dara. The cover has an image of a spooky ghost-like figure with trailing hair and smoke in front of a full moon. It has a skull face and roses in its hair. Perhaps it is a ghost bride. The silhouette of a headstone is in the background.

A quick reminder: you can preorder the epic conclusion to the Queens of Villainy trilogy, my sapphic marriage-of-convenience romantasy novel Melting the Ice Queen, for 25% off from @barnesandnoble.com with the code PREORDER25 today or tomorrow: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/melting-th... #romancelandia

This image shows the illustrated front cover of Stephanie Burgis's Melting the Ice Queen (Book 3 in The Queens of Villainy) surrounded by this text: Marriage of convenience; (literal) ice queen who refuses to fall in love; fiery priestess who is all in on her new wife; the other queens have *opinions*; epic conclusion to the Queens of Villainy trilogy. 25% off B&N preorders with code PREORDER25.
The cover itself shows two women facing each other, holding twin candles, in the midst of a cathedral made of ice. The woman on the left is slim, Black, and wears an icy crown above her cool blue wedding gown, with more shards of ice held ready in the air behind her as she regards her new bride with open suspicion; the woman on the right is white, red-haired, lushly curved, and wearing a gold wedding gown as she grins mischievously at her new wife, with rainbow-colored heat rays beaming out from behind her own figure. The tagline reads: Nothing melts the heart like an old flame.
