Today, we’re excited to reveal the cover for The Wish of a Dragon – the second book in the Otar’s Universe series, by JD Rivers.
Here’s what it’s about:
Otar comes to on a dingy space station and discovers two things: First, he’s missing a good chunk of his memories. Second, Andres, his lover, has disappeared. Before he can retrace his steps, a knock at the door demands a debt be repaidโone Otar can’t remember.
Captain Veil Dreamcatcher is in search of the dragons with only ruins to guide him. Otar agrees to help in exchange for a reduced debt and information about Andres. On their travels, Otar realizes Veil is as adrift in this world as he is. Both are on a quest for the impossible: finding the ones they have loved and lost.
All the while, the shadows are watching with red glowing eyes…
Are you ready for the cover?

We…
Wait, are you sure you’re ready?
Okay then!
Let’s do this!
Here…
We…
Go!
