When I first saw the cover for Trisha Leigh’s first novel, Whispers in Autumn, I thought it was GORGEOUS. The colors, the design — I was so excited for her. Then when the cover for the second book, Winter Omens, came out, I was floored that the covers FIT together like puzzle pieces. I’m thrilled to “finish the puzzle” on YABC by revealing the final cover in THE LAST YEAR Series below.
But first, a word from Trisha!
Hi YABC readers!! I’m thrilled to share the experience of revealing my very last cover in THE LAST YEAR with you! It’s been a wonderful, emotional experience. The journey began in Whispers in Autumn last July, and sometimes it felt like I would never get here, but here we are!
All four covers were brilliantly designed by Nathalia Suellen (Lady Symphonia on the web and DevantArt), and each beautifully represents both a season and a character—if you haven’t read, you’ll have to in order to figure out what that means! They also form puzzle pieces and fit together to create Althea’s face, which I love. Her face and the idea. 😉
There’s more about the book and the series below. Happy reading!

Here it is! SUMMER RUINS by Trisha Leigh!
A final battle for the survival of Earth is coming.
Between the alien Others and the destruction of humanity stand four Dissidents.
When the Prime Other banishes them to the Harvest Site to live the remainder of their time on earth as slaves, the Dissidents use the opportunity to learn more about the substance that keeps the Others alive…and how they might use it to their advantage. But the Others guard their secrets well, and the Prime Other has proven his willingness to do whatever’s necessary to secure a future for his race, no matter what or who is destroyed in the process.
When Althea and the boys realize their lives could be the key to allowing another planet to suffer the same fate as earth, they promise they’ll die before they let that happen. If they can’t figure out how to turn the tables in their favor before the Summer Celebration, they might have to do just that.
The end draws near, and there’s only one question left—are the Dissidents going to save their chosen people or perish alongside them?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Now check out all four covers together:
I absolutely love this sort of thing.

Wow! Love the final cover! Fits so beautifully with the others. So awesome!
I’m so excited about this giveaway! I’ve saved the WHOLE ENTIRE SERIES UNTIL THIS FINAL BOOK CAME OUT SO YEAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! 🙂
I am soooooo excited! Loved the first three and cannot wait for the final book!!!!
These are some of the best covers ever! I love that they it together, and I love that they’re all themed. One of the things I’ve been noticing (and disliking) lately is that traditionally published novels get cover changes a lot! (WHY do they do this?) They’ll start with one design and then change it as the sequels come out. I like all my books in a series to have the same look.
Sorry, this turned into a ramble. Basically, these covers are professional and gorgeous. 🙂
Thank you for the giveaway! Hope to win 🙂 And I LOVE, LOVE the concept behind the covers, how they all ft to form one picture.
I love how the covers form a complete picture! So great when cover art enhances the reading experience. 🙂

I love the covers so much!! I’ve actually never heard of this series before, but I love how they coordinate together; it’s totally unique and I don’t think I’ve ever seen another series do cover designs like that.
I love these covers!! the fact that they all come together like that is just genius!
These covers are so amazing, I have never seen anything like them, and probably will never again. The design is so beautiful and unique, and even though they are different colours, they combine together to create a spectacular harmony.
I love how each of the four covers make up the girl’s whole face. Every season is represented well with the color scheme and details representing which season is featured in the separate novels.
This great! 😀 They all match and are color coordinated! Idk y but im really drawn to color corrdination. 🙂
I absolutely adore the covers! The fact that they all match up the way they do is so creative and makes a beautiful cover.

I just LOVE when authors tie their series together using the book covers! very creative and SUPER gorgeous!!! Kudos!!!

The covers are absolutely gorgeous! It’s so cool how they all fit together like that. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another series do that, and if I didn’t already want to read this series, the covers alone would definitely change that. 🙂
I LOVE the covers and how they all fit together! 🙂
I love it. The colors blend perfectly and they fit together so well!
Those covers are the best thing ever! I love how each book represents a part of the year and how they alltogether make a face. It is a very cool and unique idea and I love them!
The covers are fantastic! So clever, and pleasing to the eye. 🙂
