I received the final cover for ALYSHA on Wednesday, and like that of A NORTH-SOUTH DIVIDE it's a thing of beauty:

This is once again the work of Dale Halvorsen and once again I'm thrilled with the result. Alysha herself is captured brilliantly. The look of confidence and determination on her face is just what I was looking for. In her left hand she holds her sword, while in her right a column of flame, a talent she learns through her association with the dragon that accompanies her on her journey.

Just like A NORTH-SOUTH DIVIDE, the cover is packed with details:

It's really quite something and goes very well hand in hand with the cover of A NORTH-SOUTH DIVIDE. For those who are unaware, both books are set in the same world, in the same time period. In fact, Alysha does bump into Duncan at one point in the novel as their paths cross. The dragon featured on the front cover of NSD is the same that accompanies Alysha on her mission to rescue her family.

One thing: I've purposely chosen to be vague about some of the details to avoid spoilers. So, who is The Purifier, Shafer, and the human ally that feature on the cover? You'll just have to read the book and find out! You can find out where to purchase a copy of Alysha on the novel's dedicated page.
