Illustrated cover of WHEN YESTERDAY ENDS by S. Jean. In the center are two men standing back to back. The short of the two, Ambrose, has fair skin, red hair, glasses, and one green eyes and one glowing hazel eye. He is wearing an open button-up with an undershirt beneath it. In his hands are an open book and a potion bottle with red liquid inside. He is glancing back at the man behind him. The taller of the two, Renwick, has fair skin, dark brown feathered hair, and green eyes. He also has pointed ears, like an elf. He is wearing a dark vest over a dark shirt. In his raised hand are a bundle of daisies. While Ambrose looks unamused, Renwick has a coy smile on his lips as he gazes as Ambrose. Behind them is an open window with a golden glow and in the foreground are more daisies. The colors are soft and give it a sort of ephemeral feel.
Along the top is a tagline that reads: "an herbalist, a fey lord, and a curse before summer ends..." and below is the release date, JULY 28th, 2026.
A blurb graphic for When Yesterday Ends. The blurb reads:
Nettles Hollow is as good a place as any to restart your life. At least, Ambrose Howl hopes so after his life falls apart.
The town’s got everything he needs: a general store carrying his favorite cigarettes, a library he could get lost in, and a hedge witch who immediately befriends him. He settles in as an herbalist, using the knowledge he’d gained from academia that he’d left behind, and for once in his life, he feels like he could be content. It’s not so bad living in some rural, far-flung town.
Until he’s visited and kidnapped by the skeleton valet of Renwick Frey, a fey lord living in hiding who is cursed to eat human hearts every five summers to remain alive. As his next victim, Ambrose saves himself by making the desperate claim of knowing how to break curses. Renwick is charmed enough to let him try, but if Ambrose can’t break the curse by summer’s end, then his heart is forfeit.
The problem? He’s never broken a curse in his life, and given the mysterious circumstances of this one, he might even die before summer ends.
