THIS IS NOT MY ARTWORK! It is that of the great Elise Hurst and I just had to share it with everyone because I think these covers are so rich and evocative and unusual. The interlocking tree idea is fantastic, and I love the way Allen and Unwin [link] have the Book numbers ( Book I Book II Book III) incorporated in the O of each title.

As I said, Elise Hurst is the genius responsible for the artwork on each cover. If you would like some idea of the amount of thought that Elise put into these, check out her blog post where she details the process of working a triptych of designs which all link via the borders of trees. [link]

I adore Elise's attention to detail on these, she asked me tons of questions about the books themselves and I think her research really shines through in the sturdy medieval looking horses, the weapons, the atmosphere, and most of all the characters. Wynter is so close to how I see her in my head that it's spooky! I love the depictions of Razi and Christopher in the final cover and I'm just thrilled that Elise has Wyn carrying Razi's falchion sword ( it’s such a lovely subtle symbol of some of the themes in the final book.)

Hope you guys like them – I’ve stitched all three together here so that you can see how amazing it looks tiled.
