Cover Reveal: The Return of the Knights (The Dance of Light, #1) by Gregory Kontaxis

Cover Reveal: The Return of the Knights (The Dance of Light, #1) 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 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!

Cover Reveal: The First Ancestor (Ranger of the Titan Wilds, #2) by J.D.L. Rosell

Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.

We have an exciting post today. Novel Notions will be hosting the cover reveal to The First Ancestor by J.D.L. Rosell. This is the second book in the Ranger of the Titan Wilds series, a Horizon: Zero Dawn inspired epic fantasy series. I haven’t read started the series yet, but the first book which has interior illustrations by Felix Ortiz published through a Kickstarter campaign is in my possession already, and it looks stunning. This second book in the series will be published through a Kickstarter campaign, too, just like the first one, and the link to the campaign (due to launch a week from now) is up already. Make sure to not miss the campaign HERE! In the meantime, without further ado, here’s the gorgeous cover reveal of The First Ancestor!

Cover Reveal: Death’s Beating Heart (The War Eternal, #5) by Rob J. Hayes

Cover Reveal: Death’s Beating Heart (The War Eternal, #5) by Rob J. Hayes

Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.

We have an exciting post today. Novel Notions will be hosting the REAL cover reveal to the hardback edition of Death’s Beating Heart by Rob J. Hayes. Apparently, after posting the gorgeous cover reveal to The Titan Hoppers by Rob J. Hayes a few months ago, I am lucky enough to be given the chance to host another awesome cover reveal for Hayes’s books. I haven’t read this one yet, but many have voiced their opinion on how good the series is. And as a fan of The Mortal Techniques series by the author, I have faith they’re right on this. And as a bonus, before you see the cover art to Death’s Beating Heart, the final book in The War Eternal series, as a refresher I will post ALL the previous cover art for the hardback in the series first! ENJOY!

Cover Reveal: The Lost War (Eidyn, #1) by Justin Lee Anderson

Cover Reveal: The Lost War (Eidyn, #1) by Justin Lee Anderson

Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.

Alright, we have another incredibly exciting post today. Posting a cover reveal is always exciting to me, and today, Orbit Books has once again asked Novel Notions to host the cover re-reveal of a book I read and enjoyed roughly three years ago: The Lost War by Justin Lee Anderson. Just like The Combat Codes, this was originally a self-published novel that became one of the finalists in SPFBO 6th. With the difference being… The Lost War won first place in SPFBO 6th (2020). This is one of my favorite books, and I think Orbit made the right choice in getting this awesome book into their list of catalogs. And now, The Lost War is receiving a brand-new cover art, design, and publication date. Also, there’s some news regarding the long-awaited sequel to The Lost War below. Do not miss out on it. It is an honor for me and Novel Notions to post the cover art to The Lost War. Without further ado, here’s the NEW cover reveal to The Lost War by Justin Lee Anderson!

Cover Reveal: The Bleeding Stone (The Spellbinders and the Gunslingers, #1) by Joseph John Lee

Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.

It’s time for a cover reveal! And this time, it is for a debut novel by Joseph John Lee. It has been a month since I did a cover reveal for a self-published fantasy work on the blog, and I’m thankful that Lee has entrusted me and Novel Notions to host the cover reveal of his debut. I will not take too much of your time here. One of the reasons I’m excited about today’s cover reveal is because I get to reveal another cover art done by the famous indie fantasy cover artist and designer duo, Felix Ortiz and Shawn T. King! Without further ado, here’s the beautiful and atmospheric cover reveal for The Bleeding Stone by Joseph John Lee, the first book in The Spellbinders and the Gunslingers series!!
