Adam Stower has illustrated Francesca Simon's new book, The Sleeping Army published by Faber & Faber.

A story about Freya, who lives in modern Britain with a twist: people still worship the old Viking gods. Stuck with her dad on his night shift at the British Museum, Freya is drawn to the Lewis Chessmen and Heimdall’s Horn. Unable to resist, she blows the horn waking four chess pieces from their enchantment. Summoned to Asgard, they are ordered on a perilous mission.

Here’s a selection of Adam's delightful interior illustrations as well as the hardback cover.
