Book Cover Design Brief

Key Aspects of the Novel Book Cover:
- Design Elements: I'm looking for a magnolia flower and the Jox Family Crest (the turquoise circle that has been provided) to be prominently featured in the design. The surrounding designs should mostly be plants, leaves, or other flora . The design should have a purple based background (preferably a richer purple over pastel). These elements are crucial to the storyline and should be creatively incorporated into the cover.
- Book information: Title is "Roots of the Forsaken". Series title is "Forging Mana". Author name is "Stella V. Lock". Barcode provided (would like it on the bottom left corner).
- Blurb:
Run. She had to run.
The only thing driving her was instinct, her mind spending all thought on escape.
An unforgettable adventure about a young woman that finds friends and foes who pull her into a world of magic and monsters. Follow her as she discovers a mystical inheritance while finding that her talents are more than they seem.
She lived a quiet life in a small isolated village until her grandmother passed and everything changed. When the villagers came with weapons and flame, she ran for her life into the woods to escape her once peaceful home.
Stumbling upon an estate long forgotten by time, she discovers secrets that could put her in even more danger. A locked crypt door is all that is between her and an uncertain future.
- Book Information Design: The book title should be larger than the series title. The blurb on the back cover should be centered.
- Inspiration: Two example covers have been provided for inspiration.
- Atmosphere: The overall mood I'm aiming for is whimsical. The cover should capture the essence of this genre: a mix of magic, wonder, and a hint of the unknown.
- Size: The book will be 5.5 x 8.5 in (13.97 x 21.59 cm). Spine should be 1.69 in (4.29 cm).
