The cover was just completed for the new edition of The Beast at the Gate. The stars, the "Twin Eyes of Taren" are near the top--red and blue respectively. A great city wall surrounds the city of Lamec, with the sinister green glow of Nephredom's Gate below. The foreground depicts a dark lake; here, the old hag from the story's prologue is standing in a boat beside the mysterious and powerful Lake Stone. To the right, there's an image of Aric flanked by two Beasts. I think the blue color scheme works well and accurately portrays the overall mood of foreboding in this early scene.
R.A. Baker is author of "The Beast at the Gate", book 1 in the Rayna of Nightwind (Taren) series.
