International bestselling independent author, M. R. Mathias, is proud to reveal the cover design (see above) for The Wizard and the Warlord—the third and final volume in The Wardstone Trilogy. Sandara of DeviantArt.com rendered the image of the baby red dragon sitting in its mother´s lap, while Gary V. Tenuta of www.BookCoversAndVideos.webs.com turned the work into the wonderful cover you see above.
Book one of The Wardstone Trilogy, The Sword and the Dragon (Reviewed HERE), has been in the Amazon Kindle Fantasy/Mythology charts for over 18 months and counting, while Book Two—Kings, Queens, Heroes, & Fools—has been in those same charts since its release in July 2011. The Wizard and the Warlord, which brings Gerard and Hyden´s story to a climactic conclusion, is scheduled for paperback release in July 2012. The eBook version should be available a little sooner.
If you are familiar with the story then you will know who the young hatchling in the image is. If not, then you should pick up The Sword and the Dragon and find out for yourself. Especially now that the eBook version of The Sword and the Dragon is available at Amazon and B&N for just $1! This offer only lasts until Thanksgiving, so don’t miss out on this great deal J
M. R. Mathias is also the author of the bestselling fantasy series, The Saga of the Dragoneers, as well as the paranormal horror/thriller The Butcher’s Boy that was released in 2010 under the pen name Michael Robb.
