Ooo we got your Dragon Age dupe here with IN THE NAME OF HONOR, a 3rd person adult fantasy with a romance subplot. Think: the LOTR fellowship if led by a woman, but instead of destroying something, they need to save someone.

I’m excited to be a part of the cover reveal for @ashintheashes.bsky.social and her YA contemporary fantasy debut, Child of the Dragon from @inkedingraypress.bsky.social with cover art from @jv.arts.2020!
A cover with fire on the left edges and ice on the right edges centering around a girl in shorts and a tank top, raising a sword high and summoning lightning in front of a massive purple-y european dragon inside some sort of arena. The title: Child of the Dragon is written across the center in a curly, silver font, and the author name is in a smaller version of the same and says Ashley N.Y. Sheesley
