The book cover features an 1800s-style European stage with faded, dusty curtains pulled halfway open. Lying on the wooden stage floor is a scattered collection of Viking items, such as a battle-worn helmet, a rusted axe, and a small rune-inscribed stone. These items, cast in dim, cool-toned lighting, have a shadowy, abandoned look. In the background are faintly visible faded stage props from a Henrik Ibsen production—a chair and a theatrical mask—which further evoke the theme of comparing Norse legends to 19th-century Scandinavian drama. The atmosphere feels muted, with sepia tones dominating the color palette, emphasizing boredom and antiquity.

A captivating moonlit scene frames a young Viking girl, Ruby, standing boldly at the edge of a mystical forest. Her braided fiery-red hair catches the silvery glow of the moonlight. She clutches a glowing sword with runic carvings in one hand and wears a small elemental spirit orb in the other, radiating hues of green, blue, red, and white to symbolize Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. In the background, we see her Viking village nestled by the sea cliffs, adorned with wooden huts and flickering torches. Fireflies dot the silhouette of the forest while shimmering light dances over the trees. Magic energy swirls subtly near her feet, promising an adventure that blends reality and fantasy.

Sword and Spirit

A dramatic scene where a young Viking warrior stands atop a rocky cliff, his cape billowing in the wind as he faces a majestic dragon. The dragon's scales shimmer in various shades of blue and green, reflecting the northern lights dancing across the sky. Around them are runestones inscribed with ancient Nordic symbols and snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Viking Fairytales

A dark, textured black background dominates the cover, giving the feel of rough-hewn stone or ancient iron. In the foreground, a massive, battle-worn dwarven axe lies angled across the page. The axe's blade is etched with glowing Viking-style runes that emit a faint, mystical orange light. Behind the axe, faint silhouettes of a dwarf warrior with a braided beard and fur-lined armor loom in the shadows, holding another axe aloft. Smoke and embers swirl at the base, adding a dynamic feel to the scene.

Fallen Axe: Dwarven Berserker

A stunning split-scene composition the left half of the cover depicts a lively Viking village placed by the edge of the sea with wooden huts, billowing sails, and fiery torches glowing against a twilight sky. The right half transitions into the ethereal elemental realm – a swirling magical blend of floating islands suspended in the air, waterfalls cascading into nothingness, and vivid glowing auras of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. In the foreground, Ruby stands confidently, holding a gleaming sword infused with elemental energy, her intricate Viking braids adorned with beads. Fireflies softly illuminate the bottom edge, blending the two realms effortlessly.

Sword and Spirit

An empty throne sits prominently in the center of the cover, surrounded by three fierce warriors. Two warriors are depicted as Saxon, while the other is shown as a Viking. The background showcases a fleet of ships sailing towards the shore, with soldiers ready for battle. The title, "Of Nobles and Bastards A Tapestry of Kings," is prominently displayed above the warriors, and the author's name, Jason McConnell, is shown at the bottom of the cover.
