The cover and title has been unveiled for Veronica Roth’s forthcoming young adult book, Carve the Mark. We’ve embedded the full image for the jacket design above—what do you think?

Here’s more from The Guardian: “It will be the first in a duology and Roth has said previously that it is a sci-fi fantasy set against a backdrop of political turmoil, telling the story of a boy named Akos who is kidnapped with his brother. To save his brother’s life, Akos must try to form an unlikely alliance with the dictator’s sister, Cyra, and dangerous mayhem – we are assured – will ensue.”

Entertainment Weekly reports that Katherine Tegen Books, a HarperCollins Children’s Books imprint, has scheduled the release date for January 17, 2017. According to the publisher’s press release, the second book will follow in 2018. (via EpicReads.com)
