In honor of today’s release of Spear, a glorious, queer retelling of Arthurian legend full of dazzling magic and intoxicating adventure from Nebula and Lambda Award-winning author Nicola Griffith, we’re thrilled to share some of its stunning artwork. Rovina Cai has created five interior illustrations, all emotionally evocative: immanence, despair, loss, reaching out, and belonging. They complement the text beautifully. Below, Nicola Griffith writes about two of her favorites.
