Michael Whelan’s covers for Tad Williams’ Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series:

IN DAI CHIKIZA (1988)
STONE OF FAREWELL (1989)
GREEN ANGEL TOWER (1993)

Michael is currently working on the cover for The Heart of What Was Lost, the next Tad Williams book set in Osten Ard. The novella fits between a new trilogy and Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn.

Publication is currently scheduled for January 2017. From what I’m told, the cover design is supposed to capture the same big book feel as the original trilogy so the illustration is.
