ONE SALT SEA cover debut!

Psst. C'mere. Wanna see something really pretty? I mean, really pretty? I'll give you a hint: if you're a Toby fan, it's something you've been waiting for ever since the cover to Late Eclipses was released. I think you'll be pleased. I know I'm pleased.

Go ahead. Take a peek.

Behold the pretty:



Here's the original art, without the text:



OH MY GOD YOU GUYS OH MY GOD IT'S THE COVER TO ONE SALT SEA AND IT'S GORGEOUS!

I really think this is the best one—and the most Toby one—yet.

What do you think?

That is gorgeous! The very word I was thinking even before you said it.

What I love best about the Toby covers is that she's not the expected image of the doe-eyed waif in a filmy dress. She looks like someone you could find in some dive bar, drinking a beer and not getting hit on because the guys are too intimidated by her glare, and yet she's clearly inhuman in a very striking way.

I especially love the colors here, and the way the light plays off the water, although for a second there I didn't even notice the tail.

It's subtle. It shouldn't be, but it is. And that makes it AWESOME.
