Visit the PlentyWiki for more about Warriors and the Triumph. The cover was just posted by GRRM at Not A Blog. You can already preorder Warriors from amazon.com, it will be available in March 2010.

Robin has updated the book covers album in her myspace, and it looks like the US cover for the Dragon Keeper has gone through some changes. The fonts are now much more consistent with those used for the Liveship traders trilogy (the first released cover image has fonts similar to the Soldier Son trilogy). Well, nothing is final until the books are printed of course. You can see the US covers for both parts of the Rain Wild Chronicles here. The US edition of Dragon Keeper is out in January 2010 and is available for preorders.

Dragon Haven won’t be out until March next year, but we already know what it will look like: Pat from Fantasy HotList has posted the cover. (Thanks Iain once again for spotting things!) If you missed it earlier, you can also visit Jackie Morris’ blog for July and see how the marvellous red dragon took shape.
