Fantasy Book Cover Design (Evoking mystery, golden light, and royal)

Visuals: A mysterious, dramatic scene featuring a stunning woman with long, flowing black hair in a timeless red evening gown. She stands confidently on a casino table, with expressionless elegance, wearing an ornate Venetian-style black mask adorned with subtle gold accents. Her crimson nails gleam against the soft, moody lighting. Behind her, a suavely dressed man in a black suit stands, his presence magnetic, wearing a simple black mask. He gazes at her intently. Surrounding them are faint outlines of shadowy, indistinct men in suits, creating a sense of power and secrecy. The casino atmosphere glimmers with dim golden light reflecting off poker chips, cards, and chandeliers, enhancing the royal and dark fantasy vibe.

Typography: Sophisticated serif fonts with subtle swirls for "Señorita of the Casino," prominently displayed in glowing gold at the top. Below the title, "Whispers Beneath the Mask" is written in an elegant, thin script font in red to complement the intensity of the dress. At the bottom of the cover, the author's name "Celina" is in a bold serif font in gold, with a mirror-like effect to enhance the cover's luxurious tone.
