The Bards of Bone Plain

A book that definitely has an epic cover in my opinion is The Bards of Bone Plain by Patricia A. McKillip. This book will be released on December 7 by Penguin (Ace), and despite my best efforts I couldn’t find much information on the book at all except a very small blurb:

Scholar Phelan Cle is researching Bone Plain-which has been studied for the last 500 years, though no one has been able to locate it as a real place. Archaeologist Jonah Cle, Phelan’s father, is also hunting through time, piecing history together from forgotten trinkets. His most eager disciple is Princess Beatrice, the king’s youngest daughter. When they unearth a disk marked with ancient runes, Beatrice pursues the secrets of a lost language that she suddenly notices all around her, hidden in plain sight.

That little blurb, as well as the cover and the lack of information, intrigue me. I am especially intrigued after reading a very small review over at Worlds of Wonder. You can view the full cover here.
