The cover is the moment that helps us all decide – should I? Today J. F. Jenkins shares the cover of her newest book, Vala: Heritage.

“Cheyenne Loveless was just a boring sixteen-year-old girl. Then Denver Collins bit her and everything changed. Her plants start talking to her, she finds out she’s a Nymph, and a witch and the angel of death show up at her doorstep to take her away to the prestigious Vala School and Seminary. Oh, and she has no choice in the matter.
J. F. Jenkins is also the author of the Dragon Saga and writes for Astraea Press. She spans a variety of genres including YA, science fiction and romance. You can read her blog and follow her on Twitter (@jfjenkinstweets).
