Cover for First Dragonfire YA

,

Well, here it is – the cover art for the first book in the YA Dragonfire series. This trilogy focuses on Zoë becoming the Wyvern, around the time she turns 16. Sophie and Nikolas will also finally get their HEA in this trilogy.

Zoë Sorensson is perfectly normal – well, as normal as a girl with an obsession with drawing dragons can be. The thing is that she’s always been told she’s special and destined for great things. It’s not just because of her good grades, either. Zoë’s the Wyvern, the one female dragon shapeshifter with special powers. But Zoë is at the bottom of the class when it comes to being Pyr and her powers are AWOL. Worse, there’s no reference book to consult and the last Wyvern is dead…

Everything changes when Zoë’s best friend is bullied and Zoë reacts. Before she can blink twice, her inner dragon is loose, she’s suspended from school and  headed to a boot camp for the Pyr guys she’s known all her life. But soon she’s doubting her powers—and even some of her friendships.

Zoë quickly realizes  that she has to master her powers yesterday – the Pyr are in danger and boot camp is a trap. The Mages want to eliminate all shifters and  the Pyr are next in line—unless Zoë and her friends can solve the riddle, work together and save their own kind…

FLYING BLIND goes on sale June 2011. The ISBN# is 978-0-451-23388-2. I’ll get an excerpt etc. up on the Dragonfire site soon.

  1. Deborah, It’s a gorgeous cover and a YA series that I will be reading as it closely correlates to the adult Pyr series.
    Kudos my friend.

  4. Deborah what a great cover!

    Is that power emanating from Zoe? If not, it still looks very cool!

    1. Thanks everyone. I love this cover!

      The interesting thing, Eva, is that we talked about ways to make her look dragon-y without having any good ideas. The art director, though, said to leave it with him. So, I love that she looks a bit dangerous, a bit dragon-y. It’s the look in her eyes and it’s perfect.

  8. As long as it’s better than Firelight and the crap YA paranormal love triangles produced by other cross over authors, I’ll be happy.
