I rebuilt the three Veilstorm covers.
Three things on the old ones had been bugging me. The Mythroot tree was nowhere on the front. You could not see Talia's face on any of them, just her back, her shoulder, a silhouette down a road. And the covers were too quiet for what is actually in those books. They looked like contemplative literary fiction. The trilogy is anything but.
The new versions take a swing at all three. The gold tree is bottom right, where it lives on every other Mythroot cover. Talia is on every front, fully visible, fully herself. And the energy on the page is starting to look like the energy in the chapters.
Bound in Glass
Talia in a city street, a glowing crystalline gem cradled in her palm, glass behind her bending in ways that are not quite physics. The moment she figures out she is doing something nobody else can do, and she has not yet decided what to do about it.
Through the Mist
Talia at the front of the frame, two figures soft focus behind her, a gold, pink, and violet veil torn open across the sky. The hidden world is starting to bleed into the visible one.
All That Shatters
Talia at the center of a halo of mirrored shards, a faceted blue gem floating between her hands, silhouettes ringing the edges. Book three should land like the rest of the world is holding its breath. This one does.
Side by Side
Same trilogy, the way it looked then and the way it looks now.

If you read the trilogy already, thanks for being here from before any of this looked the way it does today. If you have not, the series page is the place to start.
