Continuing on with me manifesting creating book covers this year. This is my reimagined cover for The serpent and the wings of night by @carissabroadbentbooks

I even created a back cover with custom lettering on the front and back. You have to swipe to get a close up look at that G at the bottom because I’m obsessed with it lol.

I’m absolutely loving this whole series. I just finished slaying the vampire conqueror and I need someone to do some fan art of Acaeja!!

‘I am a free woman and yet still a slave. I am fragments of many things but a whole of only myself. I am a daughter of no worlds, and all worlds. And I am not done yet.’
- Tisaanah vytezic
- Daughter of no worlds by @carissabroadbentbooks

Recently finished this trilogy and really enjoyed it 5 ⭐️ The book covers are absolutely gorgeous too😍

Twelve will be set in 1800s America, serving Wuthering Heights x The Fall of the House of Usher x Clue vibes. it’ll be haunting, toxic, corrupt, and alluring all at once.

knowing Wolfe and her pen game, i already know i’ll be obsessed the second this is in my hands. it’s going to absolutely slap and i’m beyond excited!

Twelve is coming out December of THIS YEAR Y’ALL! keep your eyes peeled for the cover reveal and other updates on mother’s socials! 🖤

🗡️ This Kingdom Will Not 💀 Me 🗡️ by @ilona_andrews
Very excited to share the cover art I did for this book for @moonlightbookbox

This story is a portal fantasy/Isekai hence the city coming out from the pages of a book.
The main character, Maggie, is transported from the real world straight into the setting of a famously unfinished dark fantasy book series she loves and knows so well.
This was my first time reading a book like this and I thoroughly enjoyed it, really looking forward to book 2!!
