Cover Art Development

I have the first two options to look at for the cover of ‘Game of Wit and Chance’. I must say that I’m thrilled with these first views. I’m posting them both because I’d love to hear feedback from you. Which is your favorite or what do you like about each one? What do the covers say about the story you expect to find inside (my last post tells a bit about what the story is actually about). I want the cover to fit what is inside the package…the story the reader is buying. The bottom line – does one or the other of these covers (or pieces / parts of either) inspire you to pick up the book (or click on the link) and investigate further to see if the story interests you?

Here’s option a:
