Hi, YABCers!
Today we’re super excited to celebrate the cover reveal for LABYRINTH LOST by Zoraida Córdova, releasing September 6, 2016 from Sourcebooks Fire. Before we get to the cover, here’s a note from Zoraida:
Dear Readers,
Thank you for stopping by the LABYRINTH LOST cover reveal. This is my seventh traditionally published book, and my fourth YA fantasy. LABYRINTH LOST is a book that has been on my mind for many, many years. I’ve always wanted to tell the story of a matriarch of witches. I especially wanted to tell the story of a girl with extraordinary power, and how that power is linked to family.
Here the cover captures the moment of Alex’s Deathday. For a bruja (witch), the Deathday is synonymous to a human’s Sweet 16 or quinceañera. It is a magical coming of age. In this book, the roots of the ceremony are linked to El Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead).
One of my favorite parts of the cover is the title font. It captures the light often referenced in the novel. The look on Alex’s face is a cross between fear and wonder.
I truly can’t wait for you to read this book. It is full of magic, adventure, heartbreak, lies, life and loss, love and hope.
Happy reading.
~Zoraida Córdova (LABYRINTH LOST, Sourcebooks Fire)

LABYRINTH LOST
Nothing says Happy Birthday like summoning the spirits of your dead relatives.I fall to my knees.Shattered glass, melted candles and the outline of scorched feathers are all that surround me. Every single person who was in my house – my entire family — is gone.Alex is a bruja, the most powerful witch in a generation…and she hates magic. At her Deathday celebration, Alex performs a spell to rid herself of her power. But it backfires. Her whole family vanishes into thin air, leaving her alone with Nova, a brujo boy she can’t trust. A boy whose intentions are as dark as the strange markings on his skin.The only way to get her family back is to travel with Nova to Los Lagos, a land in-between, as dark as Limbo and as strange as Wonderland…Beautiful Creatures meets Daughter of Smoke and Bone with an infusion of Latin American tradition in this highly original fantasy adventure.

Beautiful cover. Sounds like a great read.
Labyrinth Lost sounds amazing ♡ The cover is awesome! Thank you
I love the bruja story! I never read anything like that so this will be good. A witch story is always good, but I’m looking for something original and this sounds amazing.
I am in love with this cover and that map needs to be on my wall!! The Synopsis seems like a book I will love!
The cover is both terrifying and beautiful which matches the exciting and unique synopsis well. Thanks for introducing me to this book!
I love this cover! I think the bright colors and the look on the face is so mesmerizing. I think the use of yellow/gold was terrific. After reading the synopsis, I can’t wait to read this!
