Presenting the cover of book two from the Summer King Chronicles!

Skyfire, by Jess Owen!
Continue along with Shard, the gryfon (gryphon/griffin/griffon) as he continues to seek his destiny as the Summer King. If you like gryfons, wolves, sentient/sapient animals, and a lush fantasy nature-based world, you might get a real kick out of these stories. The first three chapters of the first book are linked to, for free, in the url below. :)

The kickstarter funding this second book is now running. Give it a peek! Jess is offering some pretty cool things:

This was painted as a wrap-around dust jacket, so the section with the tree will be a back flap, the owl will be on the back cover, Shard the gryfon on the front, and the rest of the rocks will be the front flap. Hence the long format!

Painted in Corel Painter, using the oil pastel and acrylic brushes.

The Kindle version is now available: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H5920IE
Hardcover coming soon!

    I loved how the gryphons were portrayed in Mercedes Lackey's novels, is this treatment any similar? It's certainly a beautiful cover. I love it's pink hues and wraparound nature.

      The gryphons are treated in a similar way in that they are main characters, intelligent and complex in emotion, but their lore is different. I think if you liked Misty/Larry's work, you might like these books. I did.

    this is incredibly elegant, you've created a fantastic atmosphere with the gryphon's expression, and the colors of the sky. everything is so serene and calm, yet there is very clear movement. great job!
