Our edition is illustrated by the incredible Tommy Arnold. We are producing three states of each book and each has it’s own limitation and unique design features: Standard Edition (500 copies)Numbered Edition (150 copies)Lettered Edition (26 copies) This is Joe’s first work and foray into fantasy literature and is regarded as one of best examples of contemproary fantasy available today. Nominated for a Locus award in 2006 the year after it’s release, it has since gone on to critical acclaim. Tommy Arnold is producing 9 colour illustrations (1x Dustjacket exclusive to the Standard Edition, 1x Endpaper and 7 portrait pieces within the book). This striking Dustjacket for our standard edition depicts the Bloody Nine himself, Logen Ninefingers and the irritable Ferro Maljinn. The jacket will not feature any text, and books two and three have already been taken into account with this design. There is a limit of one edition per household. This means you can buy a numbered and standard, but NOT more than one of either. Anybody who orders more than one of either will have their order refunded and cancelled.
