Welcome to a new cover reveal!
Today we have the pleasure of helping reveal the cover of Ire, first book in the Age of Ire series, written by Scott Drakeford, and which will be published by The Broken Binding Publishing in 2027.
Let's take a look at the blurb:
Emrael Ire is a student of war with lofty ambitions, despite being so poor his boots are more hole than leather.
He and his talented younger brother Banron work hard to build themselves a better life at the Citadel, a school that specializes in infusori Crafting and military arts. Their lives are shattered when the power-hungry Lord Governor of the neighboring province invades the school, capturing many of the students – including Ban.
Emrael escapes but can’t leave his brother behind. Emrael will sacrifice anything to save Ban, but will that be enough?
This new edition of Ire will be published the January 26th, 2027.
The cover has been designed by the artist Joe Wilson.

Scott Drakeford
Scott Drakeford is the pseudonym under which I write Fantasy novels. Drakeford is an old family name in my father’s line, and is something of a tribute to my dad having introduced me to Fantasy.
My real name is Scott Smith, and I’m a pretty normal guy. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and have worked for defense contractors, e-commerce, and healthcare finance companies in business process, product, and tech leadership roles. I have an awesome wife, a beautiful little girl, and two german shepherds. Writing, reading, hunting, MMA, the Utah Jazz, tech startups, video games, and especially family time are some of my favorite things.
I enjoy reading works from many genres, both fiction and nonfiction, and I plan to write in several over the course of my life. However, Fantasy holds a special place in my heart. Works like the Belgariad and the Wheel of Time turned me into a passionate reader as a young person, and I hope to pay that favor forward with my books.
