Hey everyone!  Nemira Publishing is awesome. In addition to putting out the Romanian translations of Peat’s books, they also give them some seriously badass covers:

Nemira released the Romanian translation of The Desert Spear in September of 2015, less than a year after they translated The Warded Man and we couldn’t be happier with the reception. So when we were contacted by Alexandra for an interview to put on the official Nemira blog, we jumped at the chance!

This is by far one of the most pleasant interview experiences I’ve had to facilitate. If you’ve got questions about The Demon Cycle or about Peat himself, go ahead and check it out.

Hey everyone! The results for the Selfie Contest are in! For this contest, Peat asked people to send in pictures of themselves with one of his books. I expected a dozen entries. Maybe two dozen at most.

We got 237.

That’s absolutely incredible. So incredible that we decided to up the number of winners. Instead of five, we used a random number generator to pick seven winners. Here they are!

Zach displaying his collection (plus a cameo from Evangelion).

Tim and a digitally dangerous Inevera.

Rodney posing with Peat!

Nyaxxy getting some solid advice on how to be the next Deliverer.

Jordan showing how intense it is to read The Skull Throne.

María with both physical and digital copies of Peat’s books.

Larisa with her set all lined up for us to see.

An ENORMOUS thank you to everyone who entered! We had a blast looking over all the submissions, and trust me, we saw every single one. For anyone who didn’t get chosen, don’t worry! We have contests pretty often, so there will definitely be another chance.

Maybe next time we’ll have some new prizes to give away…

Posted by Karen

Hey everyone! This week is pretty exciting because it marks the end of two awesome contests. Today’s post is to announce the winners of the Skull Throne Paperback Contest. The results of Peat’s social media Selfie Contest will go up tomorrow.

Now on to the winners!

Our very first entry of was sent in by Kristina. This cute crochet of Twilight Dancer stole my heart from the very beginning and I’m thrilled to announce it as one of the winning entries!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Hannah’s drawing of Rojer is gorgeous. Love the composition, love the details, all in all a great winning entry.

An amazing piece of writing by István!

I gushed over Júlia’s puppy pictures when they first came in and haven’t stopped yet. Definitely a warded winner!

Kaede-Leesha really stepped up the game with a full-fledged Leesha cosplay.

Róbert has been a terrific fan of The Demon Cycle for awhile now. You might remember him from his Skyrim Character Redesigns. He put out a teaser of his artwork just a few days before the contest was announced and we’re so glad he finished in time to enter!

Arlen by Eve. Great concept, great execution, great entry.

Our last winning entry is Waiting For Sunset by Rosa. Such a cool and beautiful painting.

Congratulations to all our winners! I get nervous every time a new contest goes up, but Demon Cycle fans never fail to deliver. We could almost call you… Deliverers.

In all seriousness, we’re so grateful for the effort and creativity that go into this. Wonderful entries like these are the reasons we can continue hosting contests, so thank you. Thank you so much. We’ll be reaching out to the winners shortly in order to send out prizes.

Hey everyone! Today marks the last round of entries for our Skull Throne Paperback Contest contest before we pick the winners. This contest has been awesome until now and it’s not over yet! See what our final entrants have made (Spoiler: it’s pretty cool!).

Our first submission of this bunch is a two-for-one from a Hungarian fan. Júlia sent in a picture of the vest she warded for her dog as well as a truly epic photo manipulation:

In the darkest night, sorrounded by corelings, our only hope is Blue Bales, the Warded Dog.

(No dogs were harmed in the making of this picture :D)

Great craftsmanship, Júlia! The flow of the symbols are perfect. With those wards glowing in the night, Blue Bales will be the fiercest demon hunter on four legs. Absolutely gorgeous work. And stylish too!

Next up is István’s awesome poem. Check it out!

This is the only piece of writing we got for the Skull Throne Paperback Contest and it didn’t disappoint. Great job, István!

Our final submission is from Rosa, who sent in this gorgeous painting entitled Waiting For Sunset:

The use of color is amazing! From the dark grays and red eyes of the demon to the bright pink pastels of the setting sun. It shows the final moments before a demon goes out to hunt. Great job, Rosa!

With this post up, we’ve got all the entries for the Skull Throne Paperback Contest contest accounted for. A huge thanks to everyone who sent in their work, we love seeing all the amazing creativity and effort you’ve put into your submissions. The winners for this contest, as well as Peat’s Selfie Contest on social media, will be announced next week!

Hey everyone! The Skull Throne Paperback Contest is officially over, but we have a few more entries to show off before announcing the winners. We’re thrilled at all the creativity that went into these submissions. Seriously. Fans of The Demon Cycle are the best fans.

First up, we have an amazing drawing of Arlen (or should I say Arlens?) sent in by Eve. Check it out!

This is an awesome. The expressions are great and I love how small and vulnerable young Arlen looks inside his ward circle. Plus I’m a sucker for cross-hatching. It’s obvious a lot of effort was put in, especially with all those individual wards! Absolutely fantastic drawing.

Our next submission was sent in by Hannah:

Attached is my entry for this UK cover of Skull Throne. Seeing as it’s for this specific book, I decided to dedicate this entry to Rojer Halfgrip Inn.

The sketch I had illustrated is of Rojer peacefully playing his fiddle inside his medallion, which he carries at all times. I chose to represent one of my favourite characters from this series alongside the people that meant so much to him, carved onto this metal. I hope you like it.

Seriously gorgeous work here. The layout is great and I’m especially impressed with the detailing on the fiddle.

Thanks so much to Eve and Hannah for sending in their entries! This contest yielded some truly spectacular works of art. Both these pictures are stunning and there’s still more to come! Look forward to one last batch of stellar submissions soon. As of today, the plan is to have winners announced next week.
