Cover image for Book Two of the Forging of a Knight Series

Hi all - I just wanted to share this, as I was so excited with the results. My illustrator, Lora Lee, completed the front AND back cover images for Forging of a Knight, Rise of the Slavekeepers, which should be out around October this year at the latest. I was hoping it would be ready by August 14th when I will be boothing for my book in full armor at the Indy Gen Con this year, but the timing just couldnt be done. Still, it should be a fun time out there as I will have handouts showing the cover, discussing the series overall and saying hi to all the fellow mythological/fantasy buffs at the convention!

You can check my initial drawing for the cover and her translation of it at the Forging of a Knight facebook fan page:

The second book in the Forging of a Knight series! Qualtan has become a knight at last. With Glaive, the half-orcne thief by his side, he will join a host of new allies: Jesepha, the strong-willed female knight; her mentor, the elder knight Bartholomew, who carries a mysterious secret; the young and hot-headed knight Euric; the glum and impatient knight Richard; and the dashing merchant lord Visandus.

They will stand together against a new menace that unravels from a seemingly routine mission into one of greater horror, involving other-dimensional creatures, rival sea-faring pirate nations, and a face-to-face confrontation between Qualtan and Darksiege, one of Those That Stand in Shadow, at last! Should they somehow prevail, it will just be a precursor to an even GREATER threat!
