Released earlier this year, the new series covers were designed by Illustrator Jim Tierney. You may not recognize his name, but you’ve definitely seen his work, notably The Alchemist and Dune.

Alessandro Taini, also known as Talexi, is an Italian artist, primarily known for his art direction in video game, and as an illustrator for many bestselling fantasy book covers.

The original cover was designed by Sarah J. Maas herself. Readers have often commented on the fact that the Celaena depicted on this version has a lot of similarities with the author leading them to believe she has cast herself as the main character.
