The cover showcases a hand-drawn and painterly style that emphasizes an epic and dramatic scene. The fiery-haired mechanic woman stands on the left, holding a large, worn wrench close to her body with a striking pose that conveys determination. Beside her, the tall army captain stands resolute, his sword sheathed on his hip and his gun raised slightly in his right hand. Both characters are backlit by a muted and glowing horizon, emphasizing the destroyed ruins of Atlantis in the background. The ruined city features cracked domes, submerged buildings, and glowing remnants of ancient structures. Smoke and the aftereffects of battle swirl in the air above the ruins. Warm, golden tones blend into dark, stormy blues and blacks, symbolizing hope amidst chaos.

The book's title, *“A Gate to Our World”*, is in a bold, high-fantasy serif font with glowing golden highlights, slightly textured to give a metallic effect, placed at the upper third of the cover. The author’s name, “Elora Salha,” features at the bottom in a clean, classic sans-serif font in white, with subtle shadows for legibility.

The characters occupy the foreground, slightly off-center, with the woman on the left and the man on the right. The title is arched slightly at the top over the sky, framing the scene subtly. The ruins fill the middle ground, helping to visually draw the focus between the title and the characters, while the horizon and swirling smoke merge into the background seamlessly.
