It’s time! Without further ado, here’s the cover of Yesterday’s Demons:
I wanted this cover to do a lot. I wanted it to show the story’s hero, Siv McCaig, and one of the savage white demons. I wanted it to be an action scene, and I wanted it to demonstrate the story’s fantasy and Western elements.
It was a tall order, but artist Stuart Harrington of StuArtStudios nailed it! Working with Stu was a blast. He completely understood what I wanted Yesterday’s Demons to look like right from the beginning.
Doesn’t it look like Siv is about a second away from yanking his sword, the Dragon Slayer, off his back and slashing that white demon apart? Doesn’t it look like the white demon might be a single claw swipe away from ending Siv first?
Yesterday’s Demons, book 1 of The Verdant Revival, will be on sale this Spring.
It’s gorgeous!!!
It looks awesome, Mike! By any chance would you be posting any sample chapters online before it goes live?
Thanks, Lauren and Laurie. And yes, Laurie, I will likely post at least one sample chapter closer to the book’s release date.
Excellent cover! THIS is the kind of art we always wanted on our video game boxes and rarely got.
Look so awesome!
Love the intensity in that image. Looks great!
