It’s… alright, I guess. I haven’t been blown away by any of the covers for the series, and the shift in tone and subject, if not style, is a little jarring, but, hey, swords and axes had little to do with Abraham’s series, anyways. Torches are cool, I guess. I’m neither here nor there on the cover. It’s okay. I have no doubt that what’s underneath will be rockin’. Abraham<\/a> suggests there might still be minor changes coming, but the design is almost final.<\/p>\n

Speaking of, here’s the synopsis, beware, of course, of spoilers for the first two volumes, for there are several: <\/p>\n

\nThe great war cannot be stopped. <\/p>\n

The tyrant Geder Palliako begins a conquest aimed at bringing peace to the world, though his resources are stretched too thin. When things go poorly, he finds a convenient target among the thirteen races and sparks a genocide. <\/p>\n

Clara Kalliam, freed by having fallen from grace, remakes herself as a “loyal traitor” and starts building an underground resistance movement that seeks to undermine Geder through those closest to him. <\/p>\n

Cithrin bel Sarcour is apprenticing in a city that’s taken over by Antea, and uses her status as Geder’s one-time lover to cover up an underground railroad smuggling refugees to safety. <\/p>\n

And Marcus Wester and Master Kit race against time and Geder Palliako’s soldiers in an attempt to awaken a force that could change the fate of the world.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Tyrant’s Law<\/em> is set for a May, 2013 release, and I’m already salivating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
