The pic does her no justice. Chris, I'm with you that the UK cover is much more in line with my personal taste, but authors are given very little input in such things, and I think Del Rey's attempt to reach out of genre with a simple and elegant design like the recent George RR Martin covers says a lot about their confidence in the story's ability to pull in people who don't traditionally read fantasy. As for the landscape and city in the distance, the truth is I don't even know who designed it, so I can't say for sure if it was done with my story in mind. It could very well be the walled fortress city of Fort Miln, or it could just be a generic fantasy city. At least the cover has Lauren Cannon's sweet flame demon ward dead center, and that whoop-ass Terry Brooks quote. Thanks, Deanna. The pic does her no justice.

I'm in the US, where your book comes out TOMORROW *squeals in a fangirlish fashion* Just to let you know, your book is the first that I have ever pre-ordered. I've bought plenty on the same day of their release, but damn it, I want your so bad that I went ahead and pre-ordered it. Can't wait. But I am pissed off about the cover. Why must American covers look like rap album covers or contain landscape scenes? Question: is the landscape depicted on the US version even in the book at all? Congrats, Peter.
