Map Reveal! - LEGEND OF TAL: A KING'S BARGAIN (DELUXE EDITION)

Out of This World SFF is extremely delighted to be able to bring you the Map Reveal for the Deluxe Collector's Edition of J.D.L Rosell's excellent fantasy book LEGEND OF TAL: A KING'S BARGAIN! Josiah Rosell is one of my favorite fantasy authors and he is currently running a Kickstarter campaign for this wonderful limited edition hardcover release. The campaign ends on September 12th if you would like to consider backing it. For those who aren't familiar with this series, A KING'S BARGAIN is the first book in the internationally best-selling LEGEND OF TAL series. I absolutely love these books and this one especially hearkens back to the classical comfort fantasies that I began reading when I first discovered the genre. Josiah was kind enough to ask me if I would reveal the beautiful new colorized map for the book and that will be coming up very shortly.

But first! Let me just provide you with some details regarding what special features are included in this magnificent deluxe edition:

• Textured, faux leather harcover
• Gilded page edges
• Beautiful four-foil design
• Gorgeous interior illustrations
• Custom interior formatting
• Premium, acid free paper
• Smyth sewn binding
• Ribbon marker
• Hand-drawn, colorized world map (which you will see soon!)
• Author's personal signature

Rosell explains in his own words...

"A KING'S BARGAIN was written as a love letter to classic fantasy. While paying homage to the past, it also took inspiration from modern fantasy classics, namely Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind and Andrezj Sapkowski's Witcher series. Since releasing in June of 2020, the LEGEND OF TAL series has accumulated over 5,500 five-star ratings across Amazon, Goodreads, and Audible. Often averaging well above 4.5 stars for each of the books."

Okay, now for the moment that you've been waiting for. 

Everyone knows I love a good map and I am so thrilled to be able to reveal this absolutely stunning colorized version that will grace the front pages of J.D.L Rosell's new deluxe edition of LEGEND OF TAL: A KING'S BARGAIN. 

And here....

It is!!!!!!!

Pretty darn gorgeous, am I right?!!

About the Author

J.D.L Rosell was swept away on a journey when he stepped foot otside his door and into The Hobbit, and he hasn't stopped wandering since. In his writing, he tries to recapture the wonder, adventure, and poignancy that captivated him as a child. His explorations have taken him to worlds set in over a dozen novels and five series, which include Ranger of the Titan Wilds, Legend of Tal, The Runewar Saga, and the Famine Cycle.

When he's not on a quest, Rosell enjoys his newfound hobby of archery and older pastimes of hiking and landscape photography. But every hobbit returns home, and if you step softly and mind the potatoes, you may glimpse him curled up with his wife and two cats, Zelda and Abenthy, reading a good book or replaying his favorite video games.

You can connect with author J.D.L Rosell and his books online via his Website, Goodreads, and Twitter(X).

And that concludes this Map Reveal for the Deluxe Collector's Edition of LEGEND OF TAL: A KING'S BARGAIN by JDL Rosell! I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Josiah for allowing me to show off this beautiful map as well as providing you with some more details about this special edition and his Kickstarter campaign.
