Pierce Brown's Red Rising: Sons of Ares #2

This prequel to Pierce Brown's New York Times bestselling series pulls readers deeper into the world of Red Rising with a cover that's equal parts haunting and elegant. Toby Cypress renders a towering, golden-masked figure draped in a sweeping dark cloak, its outstretched form framing an archway through which a lone red-clad figure sprints across a ruined landscape toward a distant, domed city — blood-red sky glowing ominously behind it all. With Pierce Brown and Rik Hoskin scripting and Eli Powell on art, issue #2 of Sons of Ares promises the intrigue and tension that made the source novels such a phenomenon.
