Cover Attraction | Sand Daughter by Sarah Bryant
I’m a very visual person and love beautiful, or interesting, cover art. It entices, and invites, me to stop and take a peek instead of walking right on by. This week’s Cover Attraction is:
Title: Sand Daughter
Author: Sarah Bryant
Release date: September ’06
It is the time of the Crusades. The Islamic world is divided and the Franks have captured the Holy Land. As the mighty Saladin struggles to unite the warring clans of Arabia against the invaders, Khalidah, a young Bedouin woman of no obvious importance finds herself a pawn in a deadly plot involving her own feuding tribe and the powerful Templar Knights. Faced with certain death, she runs away with a man she barely knows, towards adventure and the echoes of a past that somehow connect her to the Jinn – the mysterious Afghan warriors who may hold the key to the coming battle for the Holy Land.
US cover on the left, UK cover on the right.
I love the UK cover but the silhouette of the horse and rider and the muted colors on the US cover also caught my eye. Another one for the wish list.

I love both covers, but I’ve to say the cover on the right will be the one which will first catches my eyes because of the image of the girl.
Here’s mine.
I like both covers too. That would be a hard choice. I buy many books because I love the covers and whilst every now and again I’m disappointed I still think it’s worth the risk.
Both covers are great — fantastic find.
I actually like the US cover better!
Though both are nice, I like the U.S. cover more simply because I enjoy visualizing the characters of a novel for myself.
I’m still on about the moon …
They’re both beautiful covers, but I think I like the US cover better, it leaves more room for the reader’s imagination.

I like both covers too although I really like the richness of color in the UK cover. Mine is here
The cover with the girl is more eye catching and would draw me in. The US cover with the horse grows on you though. I’d have to say – both!
I really prefer the one on the right; I think I like it more because of the vibrant colors as well as the fact that I like to see characters on covers. Here is mine.
I love the cover on the left! It’s beautiful!
Here is mine for the week!
Both covers are lovely, but if I had to choose, I’d choose the UK one.
