{Cover Wars} Flame / Fall of a Kingdom by Hilary Bell

This week’s guest is different from the others, this fella didn't just get a book cover makeover, but he also got a name change... that kind a sounds like sex change doesn't it? This week we have Flame or now known are Fall of a Kingdom by Hilary Bell, fortunately the idea nor the content seem to be altered, so then, shall we take a look at the book blurb?

Who was Sorahb? 
Stories are told of a hero who will come to Farsala's aid when the need is greatest. But for thousands of years the prosperous land of Farsala has felt no such need, as it has enjoyed the peace that comes from being both respected and feared.
Now a new enemy approaches Farsala's borders, one that neither fears nor respects its name and legend. But the rulers of Farsala still believe they can beat any opponent.
Three young people are less sure of Farsala's invincibility. Jiaan, Soraya and Kavi see Time's Wheel turning, with Farsala headed toward the Flames of Destruction. What they cannot see is how inextricably their lives are linked to Farsala's fate—until it's too lat
Now then shall we get acquainted with the before and after covers?
Before they decided to change him, he was known as Flame. The cover of a young boy how shelters his identity behind a shield, a flame close by. Here we have the original cover know as Flame.


After his name went from Flame to Fall of a Kingdom and his looks change drastically there was no boy, no flame. Now we a more serious looking cover, one where we can feel the story of this book wanting to spill out of it.
So guys, what do you think about the cover change that this story by Hilary Bell had? What is your opinion about the name change? What do you think drove them into changing it’s name?
