Today we’re thrilled to reveal the cover of A Hero’s Welcome by Daniel Kelly, which is set for release this November!

This is the sequel to Kelly’s action-packed debut, The Fall of the Phoenix.

Here’s the official blurb for A Hero’s Welcome:

Troy has fallen.

The greatest city on earth has been reduced to a pile of smoldering ash, but the cost has been high. The fabled king Priam with the last remnant of the city, knowing all hope of survival is gone, sacrifice themselves in a last act of defiance to destroy the greek army.

Agamemnon crawls for the safety of his fortress walls of Mycaenea, well aware that enemies will smell blood in the water. But after the years at war, who could you trust to keep your throne safe?

Running for their very lives, the refugees of Troy search the Mediterranean for refuge led by Aeneas. Somewhere they can survive, in the hope of one day bringing vengence to their home.

Achilles had a son, whom some call pyrrhus, having missed the great war, he is determined to prove himself by hunting down the refugees.

Odysseus, having helped them escape feels duty bound to find the refugees and warn them of their peril.

So without further ado, feast your eyes on the cover…

Here’s what author Daniel Kelly had to say about the cover:

I love this cover, Shawn is an amazing talent to work with and I consider myself very lucky to have been able to engage him. He took my original idea and hugely improved upon it, but he worked with me at every step, constantly making sure I was happy with what he was doing and explaining if he felt something wasn’t right but leaving the final decision up to me when he showed me. I have to say though, he is almost always right! The end result is a cover that I now worry is too good for my book!

Shawn T. King is a graphic designer/cover artist. He works from stk•kreations, where you can find his portfolio.

A Heroes Welcome will be released 2nd November 2020 – here’s where you can preorder.
