The Merchant of Dreams: finished cover
Last week I got my first glimpse of the gorgeous cover art for Book 2 of the Night’s Masque trilogy, and thanks to some hard work by artist Larry Rostant and Angry Robot supremo Marc Gascoigne, I’m now able to reveal the finished article:
As you can see it features Mal Catlyn’s partner in crime, Jacomina “Coby” Hendricks, ready for action on the murky streets of a certain Italian city…
I’m particularly pleased with this cover, as I really wanted Coby to feature on it since she again plays a significant role in the book. I gave Marc a detailed brief of what I envisaged, and he and Larry have translated that perfectly. The timing is also ideal, as I’ve just started work on the final revisions, and this image is really going to help focus my imagination on the atmosphere I want for the book.
The Merchant of Dreams is due to be published in spring 2013 – watch this space for more news!
Stunning!
Okay, that is one SWEET cover! Color me jealous.
I think Larry does it to wind us up – I was very jealous of the cover he did for Sworn in Steel!
Gorgeous cover, Anne! AR is doing well by you in this aspect. Love it!
Love the cover. I’m looking forward to what hijinks Mal and Coby get up to on the Continent.
Yes! That’s even more gorgeous than the last one, I love that you’ve got Coby centre stage. I also like the Shakespearean thing you’ve got going on with the title.
Beautiful cover! Can’t wait until the second book comes out. 2013 is so far away!
Ooooo! I’ve just seen this. The cover is gorgeous! A great companion to the first book. She looks a feisty lady
Terrific! –And I don’t just mean the cover (though you’ve really lucked out with the quality of both of them). I had no idea your next book was so far along. What joy!
Wow, amazing cover! Model fab xx
