Keeper of the Dragon Sword: Cover Proposals

I was given the above three options as the cover design for Keeper of the Dragon Sword. When I show this to friends, the majority prefer the design on the right, while some also like the design on the left. My personal choice is the the right hand design as well. The design is not yet final, but I think it is almost perfect as is.

The final images are still to be uploaded by the designer, before it can be used. The photograph of the sword was taken by Francois Venter

The sword belongs to a friend who had generously lent it to me for the cover of this book. His blades will definitely make the cover of other books in the series as well.

  1. #3 for me. Why not make the first encounter a fight, not mating. Many species do fight before they get it on. Look at us lot!

    1. Hey Gripper, I agree. I changed the first encounter as I realised the same thing, no fight though, but rather an uneasy get-to-know-you instead. Thanks for the vote!
