I need a cover for the fourth (and final) book in a fantasy series for author Ivana L. Truglio. The cover will need to keep to the style of the previous three books as much as possible. They are attached as examples.The title is "Child of Paradise". The font for the title is St Charles. There will be a blurb (to be provided later) on the back cover.
The scene is as follows:It's sunset in early winter. There is a grassy field with a one room medieval-type house on fire. There is nothing fancy around the house because it's a very spartan society. No fence or lanterns, no glass windows, just wooden shutters etc. The house should be mostly made of wood and clay.The fire starts from the back of the house, at the bottom where it was fuelled by oil-soaked wool. So I would like a streak of fire going from the back of the house out onto the back cover, following a trail of oil that would have spilled on the way there.
Dimensions:
5.06" x 7.81"
(Two cover templates with different spine widths are attached because the book will be produced by two different printers.)
