Yep, it’s dark alright. And defiled. After the blades on the covers of the previous covers for the A Land Fit for Heroes series, The Steel Remains and The Cold Commands, it’s certainly an in your face change for the series.

It feels like a death metal version of the recent UK cover for Terry Brooks’ Bloodfire Quest, which, well, is a hilarious way to think of the series in general.
I am definitely the sort that can be swayed into dropping down some green on a book just because it has a great cover, and that is a great cover. Now where did I put my green?
This reminds me that I still have to read The Cold Commands – I absolutely loved The Steel Remains. Has a release date been announced yet for The Dark Defiles?
