On July 12<\/a>, I blogged about getting a call from Bella, my UK editor, about ideas for the Australia\/New Zealand cover for The Heir of Night<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, which will come out here in October. (It’s also out in the USA on 1 October, although Kate at\u00a0 Eos\/HarperCollins<\/strong><\/a> is my editor there.)<\/p>\n

As posted on the 12th, Bella and the Orbit<\/strong> <\/a>(Little, Brown) team were keen to get a cover that captures the adventurous feel of the book; also one based around Malian <\/strong>(the central character in Heir)<\/em>—so we have all had fun over the past few weeks with weapons, armour, clothes, the whole nine yards really re appearance.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I got to see the preliminary result (and sadly, it’s embargoed, so I can’t show you yet) but\u00a0 I think the depiction of Malian looks awesome and all the fun research around amour, weapons, clothes—as well as reflecting on her ‘character’ in the book—has definitely paid off.<\/p>\n

So watch this space, because as soon as I can I will be putting up the cover image for you to check out, too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
