Cover Reveal: THE ABSINTHE EARL by Sharon Lynn Fisher

I’ve been a fan of Sharon Lynn Fisher since I read her debut, Ghost Planet, back in 2012, and I’ve been lucky enough to read just about everything she’s written since then. When I heard she was writing a historical fantasy called The Absinthe Earl, I eagerly followed her on social media and signed up for her newsletter so I wouldn’t miss any details about the book.  So when Sharon emailed and asked if I’d like to participate in the cover reveal, I was beyond excited, to say the least. Not only is the cover stunning, but the story sounds magical and romantic! Before we get to the cover, here’s what the book is about:


They crossed centuries to find each other.
Their love will shatter worlds.   
   

 

Miss Ada Quicksilver, a student of London’s Lovelace Academy for Promising Young Women, is spending her holiday in Ireland to pursue her anthropological study of fairies. She visits Dublin’s absinthe bars to investigate a supposed association between the bittersweet spirit and fairy sightings.

 

One night a handsome Irishman approaches her, introducing himself as Edward Donoghue. Edward takes absinthe to relieve his sleepwalking, and she is eager to hear whether he has experience with fairies. Instead, she discovers that he’s the earl of Meath, and that he will soon visit a mysterious ruin at Newgrange on the orders of his cousin, the beautiful, half-mad Queen Isolde. On learning about Ada’s area of study, he invites her to accompany him.

 

Ada is torn between a sensible fear of becoming entangled with the clearly troubled gentleman and her compelling desire to ease his suffering. Finally she accepts his invitation, and they arrive in time for the winter solstice. That night, the secret of Edward’s affliction is revealed: he is, in fact, a lord in two worlds and can no longer suppress his shadow self.

 

Little does either of them realize that their blossoming friendship and slowly kindling passion will lead to discoveries that wrench open a door sealed for centuries, throwing them into a war that will change Ireland forever.
