Thats special… its a brilliant cover anyway, but the expression King Slickbackhair bumps it up a star or two…

It’s entirely possible that the great illustrative illusionist M.C.Escher might have been art consultant for this cover – the size of the wizened mage apparition is perfect for both foreground and background. Wonderful.

…and… are those chains hanging from the ceiling really, REALLY huge, or just close up?
whats the architectural reason for having them anyway? are they holding up the floor? AHHH, but if they’re holding up the floor, then whats supporting the ceiling? wait, nevermind… its magic…

I actually really like this cover.

It’s got a magical orb with a flaming wizard coming out of it. hehe
To be fair if you were reading it in public it possibly wouldn’t attract too much attention because of its dark colours.
Definatly not the worst we have!

Is that better or worse than the original cover, which just screams the 70′s and highlights a straw haired guys head-on-a-pike.
The first 6 Deryni books were pretty good though. They went slowly downhill after that. I’ll have to try one of the Morgan series ones.

I suggest a new strategy, R2: Let the Deryni win!
