Official Statement from the Conjurer’s Prophecy Marketing Team:


Dear Readers,

It is with a heavy heart and deep empathy that we make this announcement regarding the cover of The Temporal Scythe, the latest installment in the Conjurer’s Prophecy trilogy.

On the very day we were preparing to unveil the cover—one we’ve worked tirelessly on to represent the powerful themes of this book—a devastating tragedy struck the city of Los Angeles. The fire that tore through parts of the city left families grieving, homes destroyed, and lives shattered. The impact of this calamity reached far beyond the borders of Los Angeles, rippling into the hearts of people across the world.

Our cover, coincidentally, portrays a community devastated by fire—a symbolic depiction of destruction tied to the story’s narrative of the end times and the chaos surrounding the theft of the Temporal Scythe. We were struck by the uncanny similarities between our creative vision and the heartbreaking reality unfolding in Los Angeles. Out of respect for the lives impacted by this tragedy, we made the immediate decision to delay the release of our cover.

Today, with thoughtful reflection and a profound sense of care, we are releasing the cover of The Temporal Scythe. This decision comes with a deep acknowledgment of the pain that still lingers and a heartfelt hope that our work can offer meaning and contemplation during these challenging times.

The cover, as you will see, portrays a community ravaged by fire—a stark reminder of loss, but also of resilience. A towering clock looms over the scene, alluding to the final moments depicted in the story and a pivotal scene in which the Temporal Scythe, an artifact tied to destiny itself, is stolen. The imagery speaks to the urgency and magnitude of the decisions faced by the characters, decisions that mirror the critical choices we make in our own lives.

We extend our deepest condolences to those affected by the Los Angeles fires. Our prayers are with the families who lost their homes, loved ones, and sense of safety. To those mourning this tragedy, we stand in solidarity with you, hoping for recovery and healing in the months to come.

As we release this cover to the public, we do so with a renewed commitment to creating stories that inspire reflection on the world around us. We hope that this work, though fictional, may encourage resilience, hope, and deeper connections among those who read it.

Mark your calendars: The Temporal Scythe will release on June 10, 2025. We are eager to share the next chapter of the Conjurer’s Prophecy with you and invite you to join us as we continue to explore the themes of faith, perseverance, and redemption.

Thank you for your understanding, support, and shared compassion during this time.


With gratitude,
The Conjurer’s Prophecy Marketing Team
