The Spanish edition of THE FALL OF THE KINGS is out from Bibliopolis (Madrid), with another glorious cover by Alejandro Terán, the artist who did A punta de espada & El privilegio de la espada (click on images for larger ones).

I can't wait to see all 3 of them together when we get to Spain next week for Semana Negra!

(Though someone with photoshop and too much time on her hands is welcome to try....)
