Acacia: Terres etrangeres
I'm at Readercon at the moment, enjoying lots of good talk with some very smart people. While I'm away I'll leave this for your consideration...
The good folks at Elbakin.net were the first to show me this. It's the French cover for The Other Lands (Acacia, Book 2)! I'd seen an early version of it, but this one is retooled, in full color and virtually bursting off the page.
The artwork is by Didier Graffet.
Whaddaya think?

I love it - captures the intense moment of knowing you're crossing an ocean to the absolute unknown - I just wonder if the sense of resolute purpose evident in the plowing of the ship through the waves is Dariel's or Corrin's... :-) I love it! Would buy it just for the cover!
Thanks, Dave!
Wow, you are getting some awesome covers, David. I like. :)
Just too sweet.
I was immediately on that bow alongside Dariel, with nothing but water surrounding us, anxious to get where we were going yet thinking if I were smart I would turn back. :)
You must be so pleased.
It makes me want to read it (in English).
Looks great & mighty! It's really fun to see the variety of covers for just one title, very cool.
Wow, that's a cool cover.
September, is it?
Yes. September it is - for the US edition. This French one is fast on that - in October.
I still prefer the US cover. Probably because I like mountains and castles better than the ocean. Are you partial to either one, or can you say?
I don't pick favorites really. I guess I really do view them as meaning very different things for different audiences, so for me they're hard to compare.
Both covers are quite good... that said, I think I like this cover better because of the human element shown. Kind of gives me the feeling of the largeness of the events, contrasted with the importance of the individual.
