This is probably the best way to advertise the book! I love that you read it first. In my mind that was how it worked until I learned that is actually rare!
Actually I just just started reading this book like a week ago, based on this cover. Awesome to find you on here! I also have a comic anthology of 5 stories that you did the cover for, really good stuff
This is the first book in the swords and sorcery series following Aelis De Lenti, recently graduated necromancer, assigned to her first job as Warden of Lone Pine, where she meets her elf companion Maurenia, a mercenary that she may or may not be crushing on
This was an interesting job because there weren't detailed visual assets of the characters, so I had to read the book and compile all the descriptions of them to piece together what they look like so RPG/renfaire brainrot possessed me
With a short sword and wand for casting ward magic and necromancy, I read Aelis as INT/DEX. I figured she's not 100% magic so she should still have armor, but lighter armor, so I landed on a gambeson and cloak
And with a rapier and crossbow I read Maurenia as STR/DEX. Her description said classy studded leather armor, so I gave her the full pauldron, bracer, grieves ensemble.

We need more covers like this for books. 😍🥹💕
Thanks to AD Esther Kim!
Just a shame this first one wasn't released in hardback to match the next two.
