Renowned award-winning narrator Pamela Almand performs Regent’s Mate: House Adamant Book 4 by bestselling author Glynn Stewart

A striking audiobook cover for "Regent's Mate," House Adamant #4, by Glynn Stewart. The image features a dark, star-filled, red-tinged space environment. In the center, a large, stylized, black and red spaceship, resembling a futuristic chess piece (perhaps a Queen or King), floats prominently, surrounded by smaller, similar-looking support ships. In the foreground, shattered and broken pieces of large, stone-like chess pieces (pawns and a knight) rest on what appears to be a dark surface. The title, "REGENT'S MATE," is bolded in white and red above the central ship. The author's name, "GLYNN STEWART," and the narrator's name, "NARRATED BY PAMELA ALMAND," are at the bottom. The overall mood is tense and epic, blending sci-fi warfare with a chess metaphor.

Review: Regent’s Mate: House Adamant, Book 4, written by Glynn Stewart, performed by Pamela Almand

A watercolor-style book cover for "The Hidden Kingdom" by Amy Daniels. The illustration depicts a massive, reddish-brown dragon with large leathery wings and sharp talons. The dragon’s head is lowered, showing bared teeth and a glowing yellow-and-orange eye as it faces off against a tiny armored knight in the bottom-right corner. The knight is seen from behind, holding a silver sword upward toward the beast. The background is atmospheric and textured, featuring smoky shades of grey, gold, and dark brown, suggesting a cavern or a misty mountain pass. The title, "The Hidden Kingdom," is written in a white, gothic-style font at the top center, and the author's name, "Amy Daniels," is printed in small white text at the bottom center.

The author's name, "MICHAEL PRONKO," is at the top right, and the narrator's name, "NARRATED BY PETER BERKROT," is at the bottom left.
