Cover Reveal: And So The Breaking Begins by Lacey Lehotzky

Lacey Lehotzky has revealed the cover for And So The Breaking Begins!
Releasing March 26, 2026
Duty. Desire. Defiance.

Sylaira has spent her entire life running from the visions that torment her--and the crown who would cage her to control them. Her prophecies could decide life or death in the Angels' war against the Demons.

But Sylaira wants no part in the bloodshed.

When the Angel monarchs send the realm's deadliest killer to capture her, she knows the weaponization that awaits if she's taken.

Because her first vision was of him.

Vaeron, the Mindbreaker. The monster sent to hunt her down. Her fated mate.

Yet no matter how fast she flees, Sylaira can't outrun destiny or the male bound to her.

When Vaeron drags her to the Angel court, Sylaira learns its glitter hides a battlefield. And their bond is the sharpest weapon on it.

She'd rather die than trust the male who stole her freedom. But Vaeron is the only one standing between her and those determined to exploit her Sight--even if protecting her means betraying everything he's sworn to.

The Goddess didn't pair the most powerful Seer in centuries with the Mindbreaker out of mercy.

In the midst of war, one of them must break.

And So The Breaking Begins is the first book in the Mindbreaker Duet, a slow burn, enemies to lovers, high stakes high dark fantasy romance with a villainous MMC and a fiery FMC. Perfect for fans of Carissa Broadbent, Raven Kennedy, and Sarah A Parker.

An Age of War and Prophecy is a series of interconnected duets and standalones with each book or duet having its own romance plot. The war plot requires full series commitment. You can start the series with either the Mindbreaker Duet or the Deathcaller duet.

AAOWAP contains mature, dark themes that some readers might find disturbing. A full TW list is available on the author's website.
