The striking cover of The Golden Spark (Book 2 of The Legend of the Great Horse trilogy ~ Micron Press) was designed by Allen Griffith of Eye 4 Design.
The image features a gold coin on display in a drawing room of Versailles, the famous royal château of the 17th-Century King Louis XIV of France.
The coin is a reimagined period currency minted to honor one of the equine characters of The Golden Spark … shown performing the Capriole, one of the Airs Above the Ground of the Haute École, or High School, of dressage.
Eye 4 Design specializes in quality custom graphic design, and produced a stunningly rich image while remaining faithful to the book’s historically accurate scenes. The design continues the central ‘coin’ theme of Book I: Eclipsed by Shadow while artistically reflecting changes in color, variety and complexity that attended the rebirth of European culture in the Renaissance.
