I am happy to say that the new cover art for ***The Severed Sky*** is officially locked!

I've been working with the designers since early May, and after ten different versions, I finally just had to call it done. Now they're working on the full cover versions and a bunch of related graphic elements to support the Kickstarter and eventual book launch.

In the meantime, here's the basic eBook version:

![The Severed Sky - Matthew Rasnake. This book cover features a storm-shrouded Earth, an inset of a storm-embattled mountain peak, and a small Marian colony with dome-enshrouded lake. ](https://www.matthewrasnake.com/content/images/2026/07/The-Severed-Sky---Cover-1.jpg)

Now that I've got a cover, I'll be finishing up the book layouts and getting additional Kickstarter stuff prepped and ready.

If you're planning to support the Kickstarter or just want to know when we go live, please take a quick second to [**follow *The Severed Sky* on Kickstarter**](https://matthewrasnake.com/kickstarter?ref=matthewrasnake.com)**!**

As of the current count, there are seventeen pre-launch followers, which is about... thirty short of what I need to launch comfortably. So, when I say that your follow (and sharing the pre-launch with *anyone* who'll listen) is vital to the Kickstarter's success, that's not an idle statement.

I'll go into the numbers in a later post—this Kickstarter thing is a little crazy! But I'm excited to reach another milestone, and I hope you're excited to take this little ride with me. If we can pull it off, it's going to be awesome!

I’d love to hear what you think! Comment or reply—however you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, I’m always happy to hear from you.
