King of Scars has a cover and I think Imprint outdid themselves. Illustrator is @billelis (check out his work, it will make you want to take up necromancy and adorn yourself in jewels—if you haven’t already). Designer is the amazing Ellen Duda. All of the little details will make sense in time…

More on the cover and links to preorder. (King of Scars releases on 1/29/19.)

Some of you have been asking if it’s necessary to read the Shadow and Bone trilogy to understand Nikolai Lantsov’s story. I’m not sure how to answer that. I’m currently revising King of Scars and trying to make it as accessible as possible for newcomers, but there’s a lot of backstory and mythology in the original trilogy… It’s a tough call.

As for the Six of Crows duology, one of the main characters from SoC is a POV character in King of Scars. @fiercereadsya will reveal who it is at the first ever Grishaverse meet up at Yallwest this weekend.

Hope you guys love the cover! Now I return to the revisions cave.

@sixofcrowsnet heist: favorite quotes

“He was going to break my legs,” she said, her chin held high, the barest quaver in her voice. “Would you have come for me then, Kaz? When I couldn’t scale a wall or walk a tightrope? When I wasn’t the Wraith anymore?”

“I would come for you,” he said, and when he saw the wary look she shot him, he said it again. “I would come for you. And if I couldn’t walk, I’d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together - knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that’s what we do. We never stop fighting.”

Nina and Matthias banging the door: Kaz! Open up right now!

Kaz: it all started when I was a boy

Matthias: that’s not what we meant-

Nina: let the man talk

Jesper Fahey, sharpshooter… and peak bi fashion disaster.

I am so. SO sorry. My roommate seemed to think he looks snazzy, but that was before I made his pants argyle. I’m so proud of the pearl handles on his pistols and those ridiculous little birds on his lapels, though. also his ascot is tied in a barrel knot did you see what I did there

Personally, I think this look works.
