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 Return of the Knights by Gregory Kontaxis. This is the first book in The Dance of Light series.

The cover was inspired by one of the legendary swords of the story. The Sword of Light was forged by the Elder Races and it was gifted to the tamers of the pegasi. According to the legends, it is the most powerful sword that has ever been created. 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 Return of the Knights!
