The cover features the trio of characters at the forefront. The wolfish boy with greaser hair stands on the left, his sharp features lit with cold, silver light; the tall, muscular girl is in the center, draped in shadow except for her glowing, determined eyes. The short blind boy, wearing a plague doctor's mask, stands to the right, his mask glinting ominously in faint moonlight. All three stare into the mirror-like face of the fourth boy, whose haunting beauty reflects both hope and betrayal. The mirror ripples faintly, suggesting surrealism. In the background looms a dystopian cityscape under a chaotic, storm-lit sky, with four looming horsemen—War, Famine, Death, Pestilence—etched subtly into the clouds. Swirling light and darkness divide the cover, symbolizing the ever-present tension of good versus evil.

The title is set in an elegant yet dramatic serif font (e.g., "Cloister Black") for a fantasy aesthetic, with subtle ornamental embellishments on the capital letters. The subtitle (if needed) would use a clean sans-serif font for contrast. The author’s name, "Caerus Noman," appears in a thin, minimalistic sans-serif font at the bottom to balance the complexity of the title.

The title "The Prince, the Pariah, & the Paupers' Daughter" arches across the top of the book, maintaining focus on the dystopian skyline. The main characters occupy the lower two-thirds of the cover, dominating the composition but not obscuring the city or the mirror-like figure. The author’s name sits subtly at the bottom-center, while the background flows from light on the left (near the muscular woman) to darkness on the right (near the masked boy), creating visual gradient movement.
