A glowing, intricately designed circular emblem in the center features a sinuous black dragon depicted in gold outline, looping into the shape of an ancient ouroboros. Detailed gold filigree decorates the edges of the circle, seamlessly blending into delicate streaks of gold extending outward, as if radiating light.

Below the emblem, the author’s name, “Thea Maslin,” appears in a much smaller, clean serif font in gold.

The title is located at the top portion of the cover, balanced acoustically against the author’s name at the bottom. The background is entirely covered in glossy black dragon-scale texturing.

Rationale Behind the Design:

This design incorporates a harmonious balance of mystique and fantasy by drawing heavily on the genre’s most iconic symbols – dragons and ancient craftsmanship – with the circular emblem and dragon ouroboros representing history and mystery. The use of glossy, embossed dragon-scale background texturing complements the sleek gold foil stamping, creating both tactile and visual allure. The font choices balance ornate fantasy styles with a more modern serif for easy recognition. The overall design draws attention to the central dragon emblem, channeling the themes of grandeur, ancient mystery, and power that define the book’s content while maintaining a professional and polished appearance.
