Beyond delighted to share the cover for The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver. Kerby Rosanes is a wizard. If you think the cover is beautiful, just wait until you meet the wild, heartbreaking adventure inside. The good folk @gollancz.bsky.social await your preorders. Link in bio, as they say.

THE SHIPWRIGHT AND THE SHROUDWEAVER by @rtorrubia.com. Not sure on US availability here... but I am very 👀. I like a magic tied to craft, I like a boat and ocean story, I like a meditation on death and dying, I love big bold fresh epic fantasy!
