Woot! SO pleased with my latest cover. A Crucible of Fire and Steel is book 2 of Heirs of War, releasing on 10th January. It is also something of a milestone, since it’ll be my tenth book to be published.
Bastien has outdone himself again with the beautiful, medieval style illustrations. Depicted are Liesel and Peyre who, along with Sanc, made up the point of view characters in book one. All three return for book two, along with some new points of view… Crucible is even more epic in scale than Inheritance, since Sanc has been sent to a new world. He finds himself drawn into the conflicts of this realm, while Liesel and Peyre must navigate the growing unrest in Dalriya.
Oh, and the geometric shape at the top is a nod to the Bastion, the royal fortification in Valennes.
When do you expect to release book 3 in the “heirs of War” series?
Hi Ken
I’m busy writing book 3 now but it’s early days. There is no release date as yet and I’m sure there will be a longer gap than between books 1 & 2. I’ll do my best to keep people posted with updates!
