Adzel On Ikrananka

Adzel weighs a ton. He has had a plate removed from his spine and can lift Falkayn to seat him there. A crossbow dart breaks on his scales. Falkayn shoots a zandara. Adzel gallops towards the enemy, then sprints at 150 KPH, bowling over zandaras and their Ikranankan riders. His tail flattens another zandara. The remaining enemy flee while the casualties seem unable to move and Adzel hopes that he has not injured them too seriously.

This book cover accurately shows the castle, the spaceship, Adzel and lance-wielding Ikranankans on zandaras. However, it also shows Falkayn carried under one arm by Adzel rather than seated on his back.
