Now, as attacks batter them from within and without, the credulous are whispering about omens of death and destruction. Stretched to his limit, Tamas is relying heavily on his few remaining powder mages, including the embittered Taniel, a brilliant marksman who also happens to be his estranged son, and Adamat, a retired police inspector whose loyalty is being tested by blackmail. But it also provoked war with the Nine Nations, internal attacks by royalist fanatics, and the greedy to scramble for money and power by Tamas's supposed allies: the Church, workers unions, and mercenary forces. It's a bloody business overthrowing a king.įield Marshal Tamas' coup against his king sent corrupt aristocrats to the guillotine and brought bread to the starving. Pre-orders are open on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and wherever fine books are sold.The Age of Kings is dead. The Crimson Campaign is due out February 18th, 2014. As a warning, it does contain spoilers (if you examine it closely) for Promise of Blood. And she said that would be great! So what I'm going to do now is show you the edited Adro map that you'll find in The Crimson Campaign. When we got to The Crimson Campaign, my editor asked me if we needed any additional maps and I asked if I could have Isaac edit two of the maps (with new locations) for book two, and create one new one. I love the borders and the details and, well, everything about them. I love that Isaac designed them to look like a map you might find in the early 1800's. I handed them over to Isaac and he turned them into this:
You can see the results below:Īs you can see there is nothing particularly special going on.
I worked in very light pencil and then wifey traced over it all with pen and added some of the detail. Once we had Isaac on board, it was my job to create the basic sketches. I nabbed my friend Isaac Stewart, who has done quite a lot of art work for Brandon Sanderson (among many other very cool projects). Not only did Orbit not blink when I asked for three separate maps at the beginning of Promise of Blood, but they let me choose my own artist. I've spoken at great length of the awesomeness that are the covers of Promise of Blood and The Crimson Campaign but I haven't said enough about the maps at the beginning of each book.
One of the coolest things about getting my books published is the artwork that goes along with it.
