Donato continues to create the interior illustrations for Uprooted by Naomi Novik — and they are more beautiful with every inbox delivery.

We feature one here, below, for your enjoyment. I can't believe how good it is, so good it makes me want to re-read the book. It is from Chapter 30 and it captures that scene perfectly. I'm not surprised. Donato has long been one of my favorite artists. I own a painting and several pencil illustrations. But his work on Uprooted is really magical. I'm so happy he agreed to work on this amazing book.

The limited edition is selling really well and the lettered edition is almost sold out. To place your pre-order, use the links below:

The story of Agnieszka and her life with the Dragon is one for the ages, a modern classic that will be read for a very long time. I am excited Donato's work on Uprooted continues at a feverish pace. And soon, we will be talking several ideas for the wrap around and full-color cover — and deciding which direction to go. Needless to say, it is going to be a beautiful cover and one only Donato can bring us!

We hope you enjoy this Chapter 30 illustration art reveal below! Please share this post on your social media if you love the work Donato is doing!

And we will be showing you Agnieszka soon...
