The release of Swords of Steel IV is right around the corner. Now it's time to unveil the cover art, courtesy of Bebeto Daroz!

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of DMR Books, we're going back to where we started with a new volume of the sword-and-sorcery anthology series Swords of Steel. The SOS series is unique in that all the authors are members of heavy metal bands! The table of contents for SOS IV can be found below, along with the names of the authors' bands.
