The title says it all! The cover for Shadow King can be seen at the Black Library website. I mentioned previously what a nice guy Jon Sullivan is and now you can see his latest work. I think the cover is great, now I’m starting to think about the Caledor cover… That’s quite a way off yet though!

I’ve realised my copy of Malekith has ‘The Sundering Begins’ for a subtitle but Shadow King has ‘A Tale of the Sundering’ as a sub.
Both Nagash & Empire sequals continue with their previous subs but why the change in Shadow King?
That’s interesting – all of my copies have ‘A Tale of the Sundering’ as a subtitle, even the two versions I have that aren’t on sale (one with an experimental reverse of the silk/ gloss cover varnish and another where the Black Library logo was ommitted from the spine). Where did you buy your copy?
‘The Sundering Begins’ was the original subtitle but I didn’t like it for a couple of reasons and asked for it to be changed. Firstly, I don’t see the trilogy as a traditional book one-book two-book three sequence. Secondly, while ‘The Sundering Ends’ might have been okay for Caledor, ‘The Sundering Continues’ or whatever would have been lame for Shadow King.
Herr Thorpe,
I’ve rechecked my copy and it is as you say. My mistake, I could have sworn the subtitle was ‘The Sundering Begins’
Prolly I had see the old artwork so many times that my brain got stuck to the old subtitle.

That cover really is top work! A lovely piece.
