Mystery Curiosity Questioning Book Cover Ideas with Key Compass Letter Swan Wax Seal

An old, weathered tabletop is the background. To the left, a vintage letter rests diagonally, marked by a striking red wax seal in the center. Surrounding the letter are scattered items an aged compass, an ornate glass swan shimmering in faint light, and an old key with intricate detailing. The title "STELLA NOVA" is placed over the letter. "STELLA" is spelled out with Scrabble tiles arranged in a staggered line, and "NOVA" is elegantly inscribed directly onto the letter's surface in faded vintage ink. Everything is lit in moody shadows with subtle highlights to create depth.

Vintage serif font with slight weathering for "NOVA" to complement the aged letter. Scrabble tiles use their original text style for authenticity. The author's name, "Haven_writing", appears in small, clean sans-serif font at the bottom right to avoid overshadowing the title.

Title takes center focus, with "STELLA" in Scrabble tiles aligning left to draw attention naturally into the letter featuring "NOVA". The glass swan is placed subtly to the right as a visual counterbalance. The old compass is in the top-left corner and the key in the bottom-left corner, framing the letter. The author's name subtly anchors the design at the bottom edge.
