Mirror image dragon flame design by Chris Panatier. Review quote: "The Vale of Seven Dragons puts the epic in epic fantasy. With a vivid world that continues to grow with each chapter and a fantastic cast of characters, this propulsive coming of age story blends genres and familiar tropes with ease. From fae groves to cosmic horror and a mind-blowing climax, I'm raring to read more in this expansive universe Jendia Gammon has created!" - Harvey Hamer, Diamond Dimensions Universe author and Star Wars Insider contributor THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS BY JENDIA GAMMON APRIL 7, 2026 VIA SLEY HOUSE PUBLISHING The cover of Jendia Gammon's THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS, art by Chris Panatier. A red and gold border design of dragons facing each other. Three humans stand between the border: on the left, a young Black man, Prince Beaumain, with turquoise eyes and reddish hair bound by a silver crown, wearing grey, blue, and silver house colors and silver dragon brooch for his country, Catellaith; he holds a silver dagger. In the center, a white young woman, Princess Githilien, aka Thilly, of Vickery, wearing a turquoise and copper dress and spiky golden crown, holding a silver and red sword upside down; she has long, curly auburn hair, hazel eyes, and smirks. On the right, a tanned white man with grey eyes, short beard, and longish, lank, golden brown hair, wearing a ranger’s clothes and holding a sword. Behind the three figures, the sky is blue with rosy clouds; along the bottom of the image is a dark, fog-like mass creeping between them.

What are your favorite fantasy tropes and elements? 🐉 Pick your potions and share them!

I love dragon’s and magical taverns or inns. That’s how I got sucked into the Wandering Inn series so fast. 😂 And in the litRPG element and it’s one of my all time favorites.

My debut novel Rise of the Sparrows is NINE years old this month! 🥳😱 And Book 1 is free everywhere, don't you know? 😉

storyoriginapp.com/directsaleeb...

Tropes in the comments!

#relicsofarzac #riseofthesparrows #fantasybooks
A digital copy of the fantasy novel Rise of the Sparrows placed before two large cream-coloured candles, both lit. To the left is a stack of old books, their titles not visible, and an empty inkwell with a feather inside stands atop the books. To the right is a skull facing the book. A single dry pink rose lies to the left of the novel, another two to the right and before the skull, slightly see-through like they themselves are ghosts. All this is placed on a dark wood floor and before a metal-looking or black-plainted wood background.
