Every girl in Ballamor dreams of being Chosen by the fey. For some, because the fey promise to deliver them to the beautiful faery realm. For Larken, because her closest friend was Chosen the previous year. She tries to accept her fate—until she discovers that her friend is in danger and the promise of eternal joy amongst the fey could be a lie.

Would like it to center around one central object with maybe some side elements in background/ around edges. My book is a dark YA epic fantasy. I like all of the fonts that are featured in the sample covers I uploaded, anything bold and "fantasy" looking is great. Almost positive I want the central image to be a knife, but if you want to play around with these other ideas please go for it! You don’t have to incorporate all of the ideas of course just throwing some elements out there. Circle of mushrooms. Combinations I’m leaning towards: - central image of knife with autumn trees in the background/wrapping around it, knife with flames around it, knife with thorns around it, knife surrounded by a circle of mushrooms. Elements to incorporate in the background (if you would like), but not as a central image: - autumn forest, autumn leaves, circle of mushrooms, dark forest, wolves, horses, thorns, mushrooms, maze. Split cover (there’s a deep chasm that separates the lands with four bridges connecting it). Fire. I'd also like the spine to feature my publisher's logo, which I've included in the files.

No people on the cover.
