Gatekeeper with the original title

[sholio]

I'm off to bed and still dithering massively over titles (I was going to put up a poll of the ones I've come up with so far, but I'm too sleepy) but here's the cover with the original GATEKEEPER title, for comparison.

Gorgeous cover! Personally I think that "Iron in the Blood" looks better than just "Gatekeeper".

[muccamukk]

Agreed.

[sheron]

And agreed.

Mmm, I agree that it looks a bit weird to have the same title repeated twice on the cover? So I prefer the "Iron in the Blood" version. But they're both gorgeous covers!!

Gatekeeper imo is too bland a book title, though it works fine for me as a series title. I like the Iron in the Blood one both visually and for the title. Either way, gorgeous cover!

I prefer Iron in the Blood.

[monanotlisa]

I love her looks!

This is a gorgeous cover--and I agree with those voting for Iron in the Blood. It looks a tad odd to see 'gatekeeper' twice on the cover, even though I assume it's the title of the book as well as the series when I see it.

What kind of sword is this?
Thank you.

Heh, you're asking the wrong person. XD I really don't know that much about swords. I assume the one she's holding in the picture is some kind of prop sword. In the book it's a leaf-shaped, early Iron Age sword, similar to these: http://www.spainisculture.com/en/obras_de_excelencia/museo_provincial_de_guadalajara/espada_de_antenas_atrofiadas.html

I appreciate your taking the time to answer my question.I like reading !!! but also I am interested in Swords & Knives)

[sholio]

I'm also interested! :D I just don't know enough about it to identify one by looking. (Probably just as well ... otherwise I would be driven crazy by inaccuracies in movies and TV, I'm sure!) Anyway, it's an interesting thing for sure.

Movie reality is not reality at all)Best of luck!!)
