David Anthony Durham posted the cover art for the French edition of his latest novel, The Sacred Band, L'alliance sacré in french. The illustration is by Didier Graffet. I think I would choose that cover over the US one (posted below). There's too much stuff printed on the US edition and I have to say that Elya (and the other black beast of the same race) looks great!
Hmm I think I like the other one more than the french one... Any cover with a dragon battle can be embarrassing when reading in public...

ReplyDeleteI know some people that would agree with you. For me however, I totally assume the 'geeky' nature associated with readers holding a book with dragons on top! :)
I meant no offense Phil! lol I'm in the navy and I work with a bunch of Marines, and if they saw me reading a fantasy book with that cover most would laugh and question my level of testosterone! I don't let that bother me though, and in fact I have turned many of them on to the fantasy genre.
