Cover Art – Ali Marbeck

Cover image against a blue-purple starry background. The cover is a digital illustration in a magical realism style. The background is a dark navy sky, with pinpricks of stars scattered throughout. In the foreground stands a character wearing flowing robes in shades of golden yellow and orange. They have a slight defiant smile on their face as they stand holding an orange staff with vines wrapped around it, light swirling up from their other palm. Close behind them, a yellow dragon is looking out and smiling, its tail cascading down and wrapping around the character’s feet. Yellow light swirls around them both. There’s a feeling of power and mystery.
