Durham's The Sacred Band french cover


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!

  1. 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...

  2. :)

    I 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! :)

  3. 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.
