Wind and Truth has a cover!

..the American cover, that is; we knew about the UK cover from Gollancz for some time now. But yes! After weeks of teasing us with very, very pixellated images, Tor has finally revealed their cover for Wind and Truth. So, without further ado: behold!

Art by Michael Whelan

It is, of course, Dalinar atop Urithiru, seemingly facing off against the Everstorm. We don't know what the full artwork looks like yet, unfortunately, though you can see sketches of it on Michael Whelan's Substack page.

For a bit of trivia: this is apparently Whelan's final cover art ever. For the past decade or so, the five Stormlight Archive book covers have been his only professional works, and it seems that with Wind and Truth, he is ready for true retirement. We don't know yet who'll paint the back half, but well, that's the problem for future Tor, isn't it?

So, what do you think? Do you like it? And now that we have covers for all of the front half - how would you rate them? Which one's your favourite? Tell us in the comments below!

First impression, this is pretty nice.  I’m definitely a fan whenever he depicts storms on Stormlight Archive covers. 

As for ranking Stormlight covers: 1) Way of Kings (iconic), 2) Oathbringer (Queen Jasnah in effect), 3) tie Words of Radiance and Wind and Truth (although Wind and Truth may take the lead after I let it grow on me some more) and 5) Rhythm of War (I prefer his WoR endpaper of Shallan to his RoW cover, personally, but to each their own).
