Been looking forward to this for months

Showing off my very poorly made collage of what I’d like my book cover to look like for my #gothic #fantasy #bookcover #booksky #writers

Silver accents in corners, a girl in a black veil that covers her body, the background is a dark mountainscape and there is a city on her left hand side.

Day 1 of trying to find readers who would be interested in a #Hamlet esque #Gothic #Fantasy about #madness, #gods, and #sacrifice, and #swampcore ✨ FALLEN STARS SAGA ✨ #booksky #horrorsky #fantasysky

It is book 1 in the FALLEN STARS SAGA. Rewriting and increasing the lore to make it 120k, then handing it off to beta readers September and prep for a Kickstarter! The book cover artist I want to commission: vgen.co/vaerlyi
