“Never forget the old words, young prince: Prison is the throne shackled by selfish vow, and heavy is the crown that arrests a guilty brow.” (back cover copy from Krög the Battle Prince IV: Heavy is the Crown by Ryan Cipriani).
This is the fourth cover in the Krög series that I have illustrated. The series has taken a dark turn as our hero realizes the full weight of his responsibilities. The novels exude a cool ’80s Dungeons & Dragons vibe and I am having a blast channeling it into my art.
