I’m delighted to reveal the cover for The Infernus Gate – the seventh and final volume in my Seven Swords fantasy novella series.
Once again the spectacular illustration is by the inestimable Didier Graffet who has provided covers for all instalments in this series. You can see more of his work here: https://www.alanlynchartists.com/didier-graffet
The Infernus Gate will be published in September by Subterranean Press in special edition hardcover and ebook and by Audible in audiobook. Watch out for a pre-order page announcement soon, for now, here’s the book description:
VALKERIS – MOST ANCIENT OF CITIES AND SEAT OF THE FALLEN EMPIRE THAT ONCE RULED THE VASTNESS OF THE FIVE SEAS. HERE THE INFERNUS GATE WILL RISE AND UNLEASH DESTRUCTION UPON THE WORLD, UNLESS THE BEARERS OF THE DEMON CURSED BLADES CAN STOP IT…
Guyime, undying bearer of the Nameless Blade, leads his band of misfit heroes into the dark, haunted ruins beneath ancient Valkeris. There they must survive the deadly traps set for them by the arch demon Kalthraxis as he races to open the Infernus Gate and set its monstrous legions loose. Love, loyalty, and courage will be tested to the extreme and a terrible price demanded for the world’s salvation. But is Guyime willing to pay it?
The Infernus Gate is the thrilling conclusion to the epic saga of The Seven Swords from the New York Times bestselling author of the Raven’s Shadow and The Covenant of Steel trilogies.
When the pre-order goes live, anyone who orders the lettered and numbered edition will be entered in a draw to win the original frontis illustration drawn by yours truly.
Those new to this series should check out volume one – A Pilgrimage of Swords. Details on the bookpage.
There’s also a free Seven Swords prequel short story you can download from the Subterranean Press website:
