The cover for “The Howling Dark” by Brittany M. Willows, designed and drawn by the author, set against a blurred image and framed by flowers. Text at the top reads “cover reveal” with the book’s release date of November 9th 2026 at the bottom. Cover illustration features the book’s fair-skinned protagonist crouching amidst snow-covered branches, a spear in hand, dressed for winter.
Book description text for “The Howling Dark” by Brittany M. Willows set against a drawing of a hand touching flowers (art by demon.vinegar). Text reads: Sylvain is an eclipse-born werewolf who knows neither his bestial form nor the post-nuclear wilds his kind hail from. Raised on the orbital research station Zodiac, he’s grown accustomed to a life of peaceful predictability. Though fantasies of visiting his birthplace may be out of reach due to medical restrictions, he has a loving boyfriend and all of his essential needs are met. What more could he want?
In the opinion of his elder brother, the answer is: everything.
Believing them abducted as children, Illia has always sworn to someday return with his brother to the mountains they were taken from. And when a peculiar turn in Sylvain’s health brings to light an ugly truth, someday becomes now—whether Sylvain is ready for it or not.
Soon enough, the brothers find themselves fugitives on the planet’s surface, pursued by the government and bloodthirsty huntsmen, and under the unexpected guidance of the rebel Sundogs. All that lies between them and home is miles of unfamiliar countryside, toxic wastelands, a parasitic garden of death . . . and the question of how much they’re willing to risk in order to get there.
