A hyper-realistic riot scene in a sprawling, modern metropolis rendered in muted, dark colors. The skyline of the city dominates the background, lit by the faint, warm glow of a smoky sunset. Street-level chaos includes civilians holding stones and weapons in the foreground, contrasted by a line of militarized security forces wielding shields and batons. Military helicopters with searchlights hover above, cutting through smoke and ash. Small fires burn at street corners while shattered glass and debris scatter across the ground. The tension of the scene gradually transitions to a calmer background near the book’s spine, symbolizing order slowly being restored.

Bold sans-serif fonts for the title, using uppercase letters for emphasis. A metallic, steel-gray color with subtle gradients creates a sense of strength and authority. The author’s name appears in a smaller, italic serif font in the bottom right corner in white to keep it understated and professional.

The book cover is divided diagonally from top-right to bottom-left. The upper portion is filled with the smoky, chaotic metropolis, while the lower portion houses the line of security forces and rioters. The title is placed top center, spanning across the backdrop of helicopters and glowing smog clouds. The subtitle, in smaller font, is under the title, while the author’s name is neatly tucked in the bottom-right corner. Smoke in the middle provides a natural background for the centered typography.
