Cover Crush - US Edition: The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan


Wow, I am in love with this cover. I think it's absolutely stunning - what amazing artwork. The Fires of Heaven is volume five in The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan and it's specially for the ebook edition, which will be available from February 16th. 

16th Feb 2010
Tor (eBook)
Cover Artist: Dan Dos Santos

Summary
Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, leads his army of desert warriors toward a destined war against the forces of the Dark One. Elsewhere, while the Forsaken seed the land with their plots of corruption, a few stalwart individuals gather their strength for the coming battle. Jordan's epic saga of a world threatened by evil incarnate builds steadily as separate strands of a complex plot begin to come together. Fans of this richly detailed and vividly imagined series will not be disappointed. (Goodreads)

That is really nice! The last WoT book I read was #5. Must. Catch. Up. (eventually)

Hey, my last one was the 5th one too. :)

This cover's great and definitely beats the Sweet (as in the artist not a description) covers, not that that was tough.

This is one of the most beautiful covers, I absolutely love it! (I always love Dos Santos' work, though!)

I wish they would make these in paper editions, not just ebook *sigh*. Our paperbacks of the series are falling into pieces - literally - and it would be amazing to replace them with those new covers!

I'm glad you are all loving the cover as much as me! Kay, I wish they would make these paperback editions too, I would definitely buy them! :)
