October 14, 2024 Petrik Leo Comments 1 comment

Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.

We have another incredibly exciting post today. Orbit Books has asked Novel Notions to host the cover reveal for one of my most anticipated releases of 2025. I know, right after the reveal of Grave Empire by Richard Swan, today I have the honor of revealing the cover art of The Radiant King by David Dalglish! This is the first book in a new trilogy named Astral Kingdoms that it slated to be released in March 2025. I have been a fan of David Dalglish’s fantasy books ever since I read The Keepers trilogy, and after reading a few chapters of The Radiant King, this is truly shaping up to be his best work. But anyway, you’re here for the beautiful cover art. And the cover art is handled by one of the most incredible artist in the industry, Magali Villeneuve! Without further ado, here’s the GORGEOUS cover reveal of The Radiant King by David Dalglish!

Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.

We have an incredibly exciting post today. Orbit Books has asked Novel Notions to host the cover reveal for one of my most anticipated releases of 2025. I had the pleasure of revealing Richard Swan’s previous trilogy, Empire of the Wolf, and today I get to host the cover reveal to Swan’s newest upcoming book. Grave Empire! This is the first book in a new trilogy taking place in the same world as Swan’s previous trilogy. Philip Harris is in charge of the cover art, and it’s looking incredibly beautiful and intricate. It is an honor for me and Novel Notions to post the cover art to this. Without further ado, here’s the GORGEOUS cover reveal of Grave Empire by Richard Swan!

Today, I will be revealing the absolutely stunning cover art of the sequel: The Blackfire Blade. The cover art is once again illustrated by one of my favorite artists: Jeff Brown.

Cover Reveal: Reckoning (Songs of Chaos, #4) by Michael R. Miller

July 16, 2024 Petrik Leo Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone! Petrik Novel Notions here.

We’re honored to do today’s cover reveal. When Michael was last here, it was for the cover reveal of his Dragon’s Blade Trilogy plus Unbound and Defiant. This time, we will be revealing the cover art of Reckoning, the fourth and penultimate installment in the Songs of Chaos series. If you are unfamiliar with this series, The Songs of Chaos is a dragon rider epic fantasy that takes inspiration from such celebrated works as Eragon and Pern. In Michael’s own words “It’s about a serving boy who defies society to save a blind dragon from death and rises to become a dragon rider. A bit of cultivation/progression magic is sprinkled into this one.” Since the cover reveal of Defiant, I am happy to say I have made good progress on the series, and I’m about to dive into Defiant as we speak. But without further ado… check out the cover art of Reckoning!

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

February 15, 2024 Petrik Leo Comments 0 Comment

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!
