Well, the art department chose a different background color than the one I’d suggested–but they did a wonderful job with the caltrop! And over all, I think it’s quite striking, and in keeping with the rest of the series.

The Black is awesome! My first reaction was ohhhhhh, I like it! Now I know what a caltrop looks like, very menacing!

I love this! But I have to echo the earlier comment, it will look better in my hand. Do you have a release date yet? I’ve just started Drums of Autumn and I’m trying to read them slow so when I get to the end of “Breath” (it’s the 4th time I’ve read the series) I should be able to fall right into “Echo”.
Wow – I wouldn’t want to step on that thing! Black is very ominous since it represents to me the color of mourning and loss . . .
Love it! I can’t wait for the book to come out!
It’s very striking, I like it very much!
When I tried to imagine what the caltrop design would look like, I didn’t expect it to be drawn as if looking straight down on it, so that was a surprise. (I’m wondering if anyone will realize they _are_ looking at caltrop. (g))But that said, it’s a striking and beautiful cover, and I like the dark background. It’s going to stand out.
It’s very striking. But I think the UK covers are much prettier than the US ones. Why are they different?
That is gorgeous! Is that purple? I think that’s my favorite one so far.
wow this is fantastic. i love the look of it. one step closer! thanks for sharing.

Excellent! I recognized the caltrop immediately (but then again, I’ve seen caltrops made before).
Really looking forward to the book!
Odd, my first thought was not “chicken foot,” but “peace symbol”.
Was that intentional?
i have no idea what a caltrop is, certainly never saw one before. when i first saw it, it looked like a peace sign. is this meant to have multiple meanings to it or something?
Now every time I pick up this book I am going to think “chicken foot” I like the UK colour better, but over all very nice.
Yes, yes, yes. Perfect. Perfect. Just exactly what it’s supposed to look like!
Hi Diana, I’m a big fan of your writing. I really love Jamie and Claire’s adventures. I’m almost done Drums of Autumn.
I can’t wait to get to Echo soon. This is a pretty cover by the way — looks dark and foreboding.
Love the background color, love the typeface, love the contrast of colors. Black does make it seem more weighty, more serious in tone. Also, something about the words “echo” and “bone” seem weighty in and of themselves… the way they sound when you say them out loud. It gave me the impression that maybe not only are Jamie and Claire, et. al. moving into new perils with the continuing war, but that possibly past troubles would be revisited on them as well. [insert foreboding music here]
I really, really like it.
I love it! I also love the celtic circle…just beautiful.
