The Mary Sue Exclusive Cover Reveal of N.K. Jemisin’s Upcoming The Fifth Season

I read N.K. Jemisin‘s Inheritance trilogy last year and found myself devouring a high fantasy series that refused to take the Eurocentric, gender normative, heteronormative default setting of high fantasy as granted. And now, the author herself will be joining us at New York Comic Con for a talk on minority representation in geek media! Orbit Books has offered us this reveal of the cover to her newest book, The Fifth Season, scheduled to hit bookshelves in August 2014.

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
