Tor.com revealed the cover<\/a> for Brian Staveley’s The Last Mortal Bond<\/em>, and it’s gorgeous.<\/p>\n

Like the first two volumes in the trilogy, The Last Mortal Bond<\/em> features the artwork of the always awesome Richard Anderson<\/a>. As much as I liked the first two covers, this one might be my favourite of them all. The blood red highlights and the morass of greys fits perfectly with Anderson’s impressionistic style. It’s engaging and visceral, and, in a sea of same-y covers, manages to use common fantasy cover tropes (wounded soldiers, menacing beasts, blood) but makes them interesting again. Bravo to Anderson and the art team at Tor Books.<\/p>\n

“This is hands-down my favorite of Anderson’s three covers for the series,” Staveley told Tor.com. “It captures so many things that are central to the book: the desperation, the camaraderie, and the sheer skull-splitting badassery of the Kettral.”<\/p>\n

The Last Mortal Bond<\/em> is the conclusion to Staveley’s Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne<\/em> trilogy, and wraps up the deadly struggles of the siblings, Kaden, Adare, and Valyn, around whom the series revolves.<\/p>\n

The Last Mortal Bond<\/em> will hit store shelves sometime in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
