Cover Reveals: Iron Trial (Magisterium #1) + snippet AND Echoes of Memories by Samantha LaFantasie!

Hey, Guys! How are you doing? I have had a busy day, preparing with plenty of news for today, cover reveals, a snippet and even a surprise, so let's get started right away. As you could already infer it from the title, I'm starting with the cover reveals. Yeah revealeS, because we have two great new covers, and one of them has come along with a snippet. Are you ready? Then drum-roll for...

In this first book, a new student comes to the Magisterium against his will - is it because he is destined to be a powerful magician, or is the truth more twisted than that? It's a journey that will thrill you, surprise you, and make you wonder about the clear-cut distinction usually made between good and evil.

Isn't it awesome? Grim and creepy, and foreboding. I love it. The first book of the co-written series, Magisterium by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare, two great authors and friends will release October 2nd, 2014.

And now, the time has arrived to our second cover reveal...

Traitor… Liar… That’s what they call me. No one believes me. Not even my team. I know it’s up to me to get the answers. To stop the corruption and unlock my memories. I’ll do anything to get them back. Even if my hands will be covered in blood.
Elsa's every move is scrutinized. She’s labeled a traitor by those she sought for protection, and kept from her family and team. Regaining memories has been a slow process. Too slow for the Council's liking, taking matters into their own hands. 
The new captain has history with Elsa and operates with a hidden agenda. Even Elsa’s team reacts differently toward her. If only she could unlock her memories. Everything is playing right into Alexander's hand, even amassing an army with unconventional methods, designed to annihilate the Nepherium---starting with Noah. Elsa will do anything to stop Alexander ... even kill.

I haven't read the first book yet, I have never encountered it before, but it caught my eyes, and now plus one book to my reading list. Or rather two. Anyway here are the links:
