Magical Realism Black Red Simple Book Cover Ideas with Symbols Playing Cards House Of Cards

A hauntingly beautiful black background with a splash of deep red. In the foreground, a delicate but slightly precarious House of Cards stands tall, slightly swaying as if touched by an invisible breeze. The cards bear symbols that hint at magical elements and hidden secrets. In the background, faint silhouettes of playing cards seem to swirl, suggesting movement and mystical forces at play. The contrast of red against black creates an intense atmosphere filled with mystery and intrigue.

Elegant serif font for the title "A Game of War," with the letters slightly overlapping to create a sense of balance and tension. The author's name, Gabriel Araujo, appears in a slightly smaller, simple sans-serif font to maintain focus on the title while lending a modern touch. Both texts are in white to stand out against the dark and complex background.

Title is centered at the top, with the House of Cards occupying the central portion of the cover. The author's name is neatly placed at the bottom, aligned center, creating a symmetrical and harmonious design.
