AGE OF MISRULE: BOOK 2 / DARKEST HOUR

Here's my final cover illustration for the forthcoming Pyr edition of Mark Chadbourn's AGE OF MISRULE: BOOK 2 / DARKEST HOUR, the second book in his forthcoming US debut. I'm happy to see this one much improved from the initial catalog version (which you can see at Amazon before it's replaced by the final below). 'Good to see that first version receive so much praise, but while I knew the concept was solid, I wasn't happy with my execution. Now I am.

Here's the way the book will look when it hits US shelves in June. The first AGE OF MISRULE book will release in May. Onward to finish the cover of AGE OF MISRULE: BOOK 3 / ALWAYS FOREVER -- I'll soon have the final version of that art to share with you.
