Adventure Purple Orange Thrill Book Cover Ideas with Girl Boy Sword Hill Castles Kingdoms

A young girl with long, braided hair stands poised with a gleaming sword in her hand. She’s dressed in a practical yet elegant adventurer's outfit. Beside her, a boy in a dark cloak stands slightly behind her, gazing intently at the scene ahead. The two stand on a rugged hill covered in patches of grass, moss, and stones. In the distance, under a dramatic sky with streaks of fiery orange and deep purple (like a sunset or a storm brewing), two castles rise on each side of the horizon. One castle is grand and luminous with high spires and golden banners—it exudes light and hope. The other is shadowy with jagged spires, its dark flags tattered in the wind, suggesting despair or villainy.

The title, "Kingdoms Lost," is styled in bold, curving serifs with an ancient, almost rune-like design. It is metallic gold with an inner glow effect, placed prominently at the top of the cover. “By Sofia Lance” appears in elegant, narrow italics at the bottom of the cover, subtly embossed with a silver gradient for elegance without overwhelming the design.

The title occupies the top third in large, legible font, centered directly above the two focal characters. The characters take up the mid-section of the cover on their hill, positioned slightly off-center to add visual interest. The two kingdoms in the distance frame the lower third of the cover, symmetrically arranged to guide the eye back to the center. A dramatic sky fills the rest of the background, lending depth and mood.
