Shroud of Eternity is the second installment in Terry Goodkind's The Nicci Chronicles, Goodkind's new series set in the same world of his now-concluded Sword of Truth. The novel follows Death's Mistress, and was released on 9 January 2018.[1]

First edition (publ. Tor Books)

Goodkind himself described the cover of the just-published novel as "laughably bad", and invited his fans to mock it, offering free copies of the book to ten randomly selected responses on Facebook. Bastien Lecouffe-Deharme identified himself as the uncredited artist, describing Goodkind's behavior as "totally disrespectful", and defending the art as "exactly what I was told to do" by the publisher. Goodkind subsequently apologized,[2][3] but later characterized the work as "hackneyed", stating that the character's boots were "sexist".[4]
