Doing a dance for my latest cover in the Order of the Dragon Knights Series ~ Dragon Knight’s Axe!
The artist has truly captured Alastair MacKay’s elemental power of the land in this cover, and I’m thrilled to finally share it with everyone.
Blurb:
Alastair MacKay, a battled-scarred Dragon Knight flees to the sea to separate himself from his fae-given power connecting him to the land. But it is on land that he rescues a woman from a slave trader in Ireland. It is through Fiona he steps back inadvertently into a world filled with magic—taking on the role of protector and at the same time leading him on a journey to confront his greatest regret and fears.
Research assistant, Fiona O’Quinlan loves translating ancient artifacts at Trinity College. When she falls asleep on an archeological dig, she awakens in another time. She soon discovers a Dragon Knight’s relic has been entrusted into her care. Determined to return the artifact to the Great Glen, Fiona is unprepared for the danger ahead—losing her heart and soul to Alastair “Beast” MacKay.
Will their love be strong enough to soothe the beast and heal the man? Or will Death swing its axe, leaving them lost for all eternity?

This cover is amazing. After my mom met you in Ventura, California and got your book for me I fell in love with the entire series. I am now on the edge of my seat waiting happily for the next one to come out even though I am not even half way through Dragon knight’s medallion.
Wow Tiana! So happy to see your message and that you’re loving the series! I plan on returning to the Ventura Games, so perhaps I’ll be able to see you. Thank you!! 🙂
The cover is so sexy! I do love a highlander with his sword … it’s rugged and masculine … a hero!
hehe … he IS a highlander, no?
doesn’t matter … it’s sexy as heck!
Aye, Alastair MacKay is a Highlander, though blessed with fae powers. 🙂
A tarnished hero–one that can be redeemed, if he so chooses. And yes, this one is verra sexy. 😉
I am the perfect buyer. I tend to buy books because of the amazing cover. And this cover rocks. Very sexy and masculine. He could come save me anything 🙂
Yaritza, I’ll never forget the moment I wrote the scene where the heroine gazes on him…still gives me shivers. Also, the cover must draw me to the book. I’m a visual person, so “eye candy” is important. 😉
Good morning Mary, The cover for Dragon Knights Axe is quite striking. I love it! Thank you
Hello, Linda! So happy you love the cover. You should have heard my shriek when I first saw it on my computer. 🙂
