Behold, the full paperback and prelim hardback covers for my debut fantasy novel, THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS. Out April 7! Global preorders are starting to roll out this week.
Paperback Full Cover for THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS written by Jendia Gammon, publishing April 7, 2026 via Sley House Publishing. Cover art by Chris Panatier.

A red and gold border design of dragons facing each other. Three humans stand between the border: on the left, a young Black man, Prince Beaumain, with turquoise eyes and reddish hair bound by a silver crown, wearing grey, blue, and silver house colors and silver dragon brooch for his country, Catellaith; he holds a silver dagger. In the center, a white young woman, Princess Githilien, aka Thilly, of Vickery, wearing a turquoise and copper dress and spiky golden crown, holding a silver and red sword upside down; she has long, curly auburn hair, hazel eyes, and smirks. On the right, a tanned white man with grey eyes, short beard, and longish, lank, golden brown hair, wearing a ranger’s clothes and holding a sword.

Behind the three figures, the sky is blue with rosy clouds; along the bottom of the image is a dark, fog-like mass creeping between them.

The sky scene continues on the back of the book (left side of the image).Hardback Full Cover for THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS written by Jendia Gammon, publishing April 7, 2026 via Sley House Publishing. Cover art by Chris Panatier.

This is where short whistle twees can do a lot of good. Alert those targeted that there’s increased activity in your neighborhood. From @mspwhistles.bsky.social
WHY A WHISTLE
• A SIMPLE TOOL FOR ALERTS
• LOUD. RECOGNIZABLE. IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE.
WHY IT WORKS
• INSTANT ALERT SYSTEM
• FASTER THAN SOCIAL MEDIA
• TURNS SILENCE INTO COMMUNITY ACTION
• EASY TO AMPLIFY AND JOIN IN WHAT YOU CAN DO
• WEAR YOUR WHISTLE AROUND YOUR NECK
• TEACH FAMILY & NEIGHBORS THE CODES
• USE IT WHEN AGENTS ARE SPOTTED
• PROTECT EACH OTHER, ALWAYS
FORM A CROWD
STAY LOUD
CODE 1:
ICE NEARBY
BLOW IN SHORT BURSTS:
PRE-PRE-PRE-PRE-PRE!
→ ALERTS THE COMMUNITY THAT ICE AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA
NOISE = VISIBILITY
ON THE STREETS WHISTLES AND HONKING HORNS WILL ALERT PEOPLE TO:
• JOIN IN AND ACT TO FORM A CIRCLE OF PROTECTION
- OR TO AVOID THE AREA
• FOLLOW AND MONITOR ICE CARAVANS AND PATROLS
• FIND AND CATCH UP WITH A CROWD THAT IS
PROTECTING SOMEONE
WE PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER
CODE 2:
RED ALERT!
BLOW IN LONG BLASTS:
PREEEEEEE-PREEEEEEE-PREEEEEEE
→ ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE
FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD
STAY NONVIOLENT
DON'T STAY SILENT
