After months of writing, revising, and collaborating with an incredible team of artists and designers, I'm so excited to finally share the official cover for The Bastard Prince.
Welcome to Tenebral. When we first started talking about the cover, I knew one thing for sure—I didn't want to go with the typical character cover.
As much as I love seeing gorgeous artwork of my characters, I wanted this cover to feel like you were holding a piece of the world itself. Something that felt mysterious. Dangerous. Like it had a story to tell before you even opened the book.
Every detail was chosen with that in mind. The serpent. The ancient stone. The teal and crimson color palette. The hints of shadow magic weaving through the design. Together, they capture the atmosphere of Ixcana—a world where kingdoms are won through bloodshed, magic always comes with a price, and love can be just as dangerous as war.
More than anything, I wanted this cover to make you curious. To make you wonder what kind of character earns the title The Bastard Prince.
I've been sitting on this reveal for what feels like forever, and seeing everyone's reactions to the early previews has been so exciting. I genuinely hope you love it as much as I do.
I'd love to know what you think! Leave a comment below and tell me your favorite detail.
And if you've been waiting for the perfect time to share the campaign with a fellow fantasy romance reader, this is it. Every share, every comment, and every pledge helps bring The Bastard Prince to more readers and gets us one step closer to unlocking even more stretch goals.
Thank you for being here, for believing in this story, and for helping me bring the Kingdom of Tenebral to life.
