Today I’m really pleased to be able to reveal the cover for The Heart of Stone by Ben Galley. Firstly a little bit about the book – to whet your appetite as it were:
Mercenary. Murderer. Monster. He has been called many names in his time.
Built for war and nothing else, he has witnessed every shade of violence humans know, and he has wrought his own masterpieces with their colours. He cared once, perhaps, but far too long ago. He is bound to his task, dead to the chaos he wreaks for his masters.
Now, he has a new master to serve and a new war to endure. In the far reaches of the Realm, Hartlund tears itself in two over coin and crown. This time he will fight for a boy king and a general bent on victory.
Beneath it all he longs for change. For something to surprise him. For an end to this cycle of warfare.
Every fighter faces his final fight. Even one made of stone.
And, now, I won’t keep you waiting any longer, feast your eyes on this gorgeous cover!

The first book I read by Ben Galley was part of the Self Published Fantasy Blog Off last year. Bloodrush which is the first book in the Scarlet Star Trilogy. I really loved it (my review here) and have just started the second in series. Seriously, on the strength of Bloodrush alone Ben Galley is definitely an author on my wishlist!

I MUST hold of Ben’s work! I have met him a couple of times at Fantasycon and Bristolcon and he’s a thoroughly nice bloke. Your recommendation has jogged my elbow!
I loved his SPFBO book, so good.
