I am happy to announce my second Cover Art cover, for 'The Hunger of the Gods' - by John Gwynne the second book in the Bloodsworn Saga.
Working closely with the design team and editors we came up with this Wolf design. It was a great opportunity to work again with Little Brown Books and John Gwynne to bring his vision to the front cover of his next installment. I want to the thank the team, the editors and the Author for letting me part of something amazing.
