That is SUCH A GREAT COVER! Of course, Curse is SUCH A GREAT BOOK, so it's only appropriate.

The original scan, which I saw earlier, is even better, clearer and more detailed than this blog copy. Caz's bearded face, the rat at his feet, the candles and the crow all discernible. Very fine. If you pop over to the French website and enlarge the image, the details show more clearly. I wasn't able to catch the artist's name off the website page, but if anyone else can, do report.

I believe Pierre Santamaria is the cover designer, he does quite a bit of work for Bragelonne.
Ooh, that Curse cover is superb! I like the Shards cover too, though IMO, it would look better if it wasn't quite so purple. Also, Cordelia should be front and centre in that image.
Gorgeous! Why have French covers been killing it lately? Maybe it's time to brush up on my high school French skills...
Absolutely incredible! My fingers are crossed we get a special edition in English with that beautiful cover.

Extremely unlikely. My French publisher is Bragelonne; my US publisher is HarperCollins, and they have no relation to each other. That it is still available in print at all, after 25 years, is kind of a miracle.
My non-US ebooks of the World of the Five Gods are my own indie editions, presently with a series of covers by Ron Miller. You can see them on Amazon UK, among other places.
(Apparently, even I can't put a clickable link in my comments, but they are easy enough to look up on our assorted e-vendor websites,)

So glad to see a Ukrainian edition of Shards!. Hopefully followed by all of Miles's military adventures. Ukrainians need examples, albeit fictional, of a physically outclassed military leader using brains, vorward momentum, out-of-the-box thinking and plain sneakiness to overcome his foes--even if he does sink into depressions at dark times along the way. Without sacrificing his honor. (Well, not counting the start of Memory.)
