At long last, it's happening, Lords and Ladies.
Today is the day we unveil not only the title for Book 6 of The Divided Region…
But also the cover that shall bear it.
If you read Friday's email, you will remember it was almost going to be called Blood & Stone. It certainly wasn't a bad name by any stretch. Hell, on another day in another series, it might have stuck.
However, for reasons outlined in that email…
It just didn't "click" for me.
It was only in the eleventh hour whilst reviewing my editor's draft that the new title struck me like Thor's hammer.
Everything else — the cover, the emblem, the colour — gushed forward with little resistance.
That's when I knew I had found "the one."
I suspect once you've read the sequel (and the concluding novel), you will nod your head and go, "Ah, yes! That wacky son of a gun was right to discard the other title."
So, with no further ado, shall we unveil the sequel?
Let us!
Lords and Ladies of the Legion, I present to you Book 6 of The Divided Region…
3…
2…
1…
I know what you're thinking because I thought it, too…
This cover warrants a spot in the Louvre Museum, and I, for one, cannot agree with you more!
Here's how Among Wolves will line up alongside the others:
There are few things in this world that cause my pulse to spike, and these covers might just be one of them.
In any case, you will be pleased to know Among Wolves picks up more or less right where The Great Betrayal left off, and it wastes no time getting started.
That won't come as a surprise to fans of the series.
This is ultimately the final juncture of the arc that sets up the greatest war Estos has witnessed in its thousand-year history.
There's a lot of pressure to deliver in Book 7, and I fully intend to do just that.
For today, though, it's all about the sequel, its elusive title, and the cover that I suspect many of you will enjoy (perhaps as much as I).
We're nearly there, Legionnaire.
Not long now.
Be sure to share your first impressions of Among Wolves. I'd love to hear them.
