Hey, Patrick. Did you entirely forget to post the new cover for SHADOW OF A DEAD GOD? Yes. Yes, you did. Nice going.

So, yes, earlier this month the first Mennik Thorn book, Shadow of a Dead God, got a shiny new cover. It’s had a couple of covers before, the first being one I designed myself, the second a very nice piece of art that I commissioned from Ömer Burak Önal.

But, time went on, the next couple of books were released, again with art from Ömer, and the cover of Shadow no longer matched the covers of its sequels. So, I went back to Ömer and asked him for a new piece of art for Shadow. And, if you haven’t seen it already, here it is in its full glory:

And here is what it looks like with the covers for the other two books.

I hope you agree that this looks more in keeping as a series.

Here’s the wraparound cover for the paperback, too.

Oh, and here are the three versions of the cover as paperbacks next to each other.

Coming up soon, I’ll have a cover reveal for the final Mennik Thorn book, LEGACY OF A HATED GOD. And this time I won’t forget to post it here!
