The tenth cover art for the ebook editions of Robert Jordan's work has seen the light of day! Crossroads of Twilight ebook cover art give us a much better representation than the book deserve (as far as my taste goes for the WoT novels, this is really the worst by far).

With Crossroads, we wanted to show Perrin at his breaking point. After engaging in a despicable act he, in a fit of justifiable rage, finally chooses to throw away his axe of war.

The point was to show what Perrin, in this character-defining moment, was leaving behind.
The Eye of the World
The Great Hunt
The Dragon Reborn
The Shadow Rising
The Fires of Heaven
Lord of Chaos
A Crown of Swords
The Path of Daggers
Winter's Heart
I get it, but meh. The last couple have been much better in my esteem.
