The Cover
The picture that accompanies this post is the cover created for the jacket of The Runemaster. It shows the book's main protagonist in a scene from chapter thirteen. The scene portrayed is not described word for word in the book, but you can work out fairly easily where it slots in.
The painting is an original piece by Midland-based artist, Luke Lightwood. It was painted from a photograph taken specially for this project. The cover model was not harmed in any way during this photoshoot: the 'cuts' on his arm were drawn with felt-tip pen and the 'bandage' was a watch. Sleep easy.
