Cover Reveal: Dragons Beyond the Pale

Dragons are hardly ordinary, so how about an out of the ordinary cover reveal!

(If you don’t want to do the puzzle, tap the landscape icon on the top bar of the puzzle to see the image!)

Here’s the back cover copy:

Smugglers. A kidnapping. A fire-breathing fairy dragon? The Blue Order is falling apart at the seams. 

After months in Bath mentoring Dragon Keepers and Friends, Dragon Sage Elizabeth Darcy actually anticipates traveling to London for the Keeper’s Cotillion. Which says a great deal considering the she-dragons who make up the Cotillion board would very much like to show the Sage her proper place.

The she-dragons, though, are no match for what Sir Fitzwilliam Darcy finds waiting for him in London. Threats to the Order on every side, and Lord Matlock demands he keep them secret from Elizabeth. No one keeps secrets from Elizabeth.

Darcy manages to keep matters under control until a fairy-dragon’s prank unleashes sinister forces who perpetrate an unthinkable crime that could spell the end of the Pendragon Accords and usher in a new age of dragon war.

In the meantime, Anne and Frederick Wentworth arrive in London with hopes of finally being accepted in good Blue Order society, unaware of the burgeoning maelstrom about to engulf them.

Can Elizabeth and Darcy, with the Wentworths’ help, restore balance to the Blue Order before the dragons decide to take matters into their own talons and right the wrongs themselves?

What do you think of the new cover? Tell me in the comments.

    Great cover, and a fun way to reveal it. This dragon looks far more sinister than your previous dragons on your covers. Can’t wait to read more when it’s published

    1. This one definitely has taken a slightly different tone than the others. But when the dragons take the lead, I, and our heroes have to follow!

    Great cover and what a different way to reveal it — I enjoyed the puzzle.

    That was fun! A two-headed dragon serpent? Trouble is definitely brewing! Looking forward to reading this one!

    1. Not two headed, just two of them (at least…)

  1. What a clever idea for a cover reveal! Now I want to know if there is a two headed dragon or if there are two coiled up together.

    1. Two coiled together!

      1. Oh thank God! I thought it was going to be crazy for a minute there. If it has two heads, are they two distinct personalities? Does one like Elizabeth and the other hate her? Do they get along? So many questions! LOL

        1. The world isn’t ready for a two headed dragon! Or at least Elizabeth and Darcy aren’t!

    Oh my gosh, I love the cover… This is going to be really good!

  4. The cover is AMAZING!!!! The colors and the dragon image parallel the threats to the peace of the Blue Order and the Pendragon Accords (mentioned in the blurb) in a very subtle way. Such a wonderful finesse!!
