The cover for JD Rivers' "The Wish of a Dragon", second book in the Otar's Universe trilogy. The main colors are purple, pink and dark blue. We have one of the main characters, Andres, facing the audience with his back, while we see the POV character Otar, only with his hand at Andres' neck, a bot of his blonde hair, and the other hand holding up a ball of flight behind Andres' back, holding a sleepong dragon. There are also more lights around it. In the upper part it reads the title: The Wish of a Dragon, down below is the author: JD Rivers.

The front cover of a book entitled The Salt in the Sea by J. D. Rivers. Stylized artwork shows two men in a loose embrace, one shorter, light-skinned, and pale-haired, the taller one dark haired and darker skinned, both in casual modern-esque clothes. The taller one kisses the shorter one on the forehead, his hand clasping the shorter one's cheek. They stand before a blood-red circle with a star on it, and a brilliant blue wave surges behind them.

From Chapter 2 of "The Salt in the Sea" by JD Rivers: "The sky was clear and stars dotted the darkness stretching above. He hadn’t seen the stars in a long time. In the desert, it had been almost overwhelming, the band of the Milky Way stretching like a glittering ribbon, dwarfing one’s existence into something tiny and foolish."

Onder is opening up about his past to Otar in "The Edge of a World". How the one he had loved couldn't accept who he was.

I explore more of him and his search for a place in his tribe and world in "The Path, the Sky, and You" a companion novelette.
Excerpt from "The Edge of a World" by JD Rivers: “Otar.” Otar swallowed and met his gaze. Onder smiled, but it held a painful edge. “It’s alright, I understand more than you think.” Something heavy was pressing Onder down. It was unusual seeing the confident warrior so insecure. “You know I was born as a sister to Andres, but I always wanted to be a brother. When I was very young, I fell in love with a boy from another tribe. We would meet at the trade markets and make plans, encouraged by our families, waiting until the winters would catch up, until we were old enough to be able to wed. “When I decided not to be a sister anymore and became Andres’ brother, my love wasn’t able to accept it. Called me all the awful names people had thought up for those who were born different. It hurt, it still does, but I got over it and him.” He smiled more genuinely. “So yes, I do understand the devastation of a broken heart.”
