Cover Reveal: The Fall of the Giants (The Dance of Light, #2) by Gregory Kontaxis

Cover Reveal: The Fall of the Giants (The Dance of Light, #2) by Gregory Kontaxis

Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.

We have an exciting post today. Novel Notions will be hosting the cover reveal of the new cover for The Fall of the Giants by Gregory Kontaxis. This is the second book in The Dance of Light series.

The cover was inspired by a scene from the second book of The Dance of Light series. The swords of the elwyn, one of the first races in the world, have the ability to absorb the light that resides within them. This light is dangerous for the wyverns and the tigers of the north.

This series was inspired by several great stories, written by J. R. R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, Brandon Sanderson and Mark Lawrence. It is also inspired by Greek mythology and other Greek tales about war, magic, loyalty and bravery.

Without further ado, here’s the cover art to The Fall of the Giants!

Cover Reveal: Arthur (The Arthurian Tales, #3) by Giles Kristian

Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.

It’s been a while. But today, it’s time for another cover reveal! Today’s cover reveal is for one of my most anticipated historical fiction novels. If you have been following my blog and channel, you will know I LOVE Lancelot and Camelot by Giles Kristian. Lancelot is one of my favorite standalone books, and Camelot is a great spin-off sequel to it.

Title: Arthur

Series title: The Arthurian Tales (Book #3 of 3)

Author: Giles Kristian

Publishing date: 6th June 2024

Genre: Historical Fiction

Publisher: Bantam (Penguin Random House)

Years have passed since the clash of shieldwalls echoed across the land. The Saxons are now the lords of Britain. And yet the bards still sing of Arthur – ‘In our darkest time, when we need him most, shall he come again.’

Yet old Beran has no love of bards’ songs. Nor of people, unless they are paying him to steal or kill. He is a mercenary, in the employ of the cutthroat Nabor ap Nabor, and he has been ordered to murder a boy fleeing a burning city. No ordinary boy either. No, this boy is the son of King Constantine and the grandson of High King Ambrosius. And he could be the hope of Britain . . . if he lives.

Betraying his companions and returning to a world he thought he had left forever, Beran gives his word that he will take the boy to the one place that still holds out against the Saxons: Camelot.

Crossing a hostile land, they will meet the runaway lovers, Tristan and Isolde. They will seek the help of Guivret, called the Little King, and the Saracen, Palamedes, who once rode beneath Arthur’s banner.

Hunted by Saxons, Nabor ap Nabor, and Queen Morgana, this unlikely band must fight for their lives and for each other. For if there’s to be any hope for Britain, Beran must deliver the boy to Camelot. But to do that, he must also face his own past . . .


A hawk, a wolf, and now a bear. How about that?

I want to give my special thanks to Giles Kristian for allowing Novel Notions the honor and pleasure of hosting the cover reveal for Arthur. As fantasy and sci-fi enthusiasts, and self-proclaimed connoisseurs of book cover art, it means a lot for me and all of us here at Novel Notions to be given this opportunity.

Lastly, thank you to everyone for taking the time to read this post!
