Book Cover Design Brief
This is the first of four books from the Arkh'Shok Series. It is about Lisha, our female protagonist, who is dragged into the tensions between the Red Church and the Native community, which can use congenital magic or some variants of it. Think of druids or Ents as one example. To protect her city, the warrior Roland (male protagonist) make her an offer she can not refuse.
Updates
So, here's the thing. For the text on the back of the book we decided against a long synopsis. Instead of having my blood for you. My power for you. My life for you. This is part of the lore and is in the book. We think that would be much better as a long synopsis, which is clearly part of the story. :)

Requirements
Must have
- The cover should reflect a dark mood with magical undertones. We (my co-author and I) think about the entire series we can use some of our artifacts. So, the first book (which is this) should have been the sword of the protagonist in it. It's a bastard sword (think of Anduril from Lord of the Rings, it's about this measurements) and it's in it's point of view different swords: a white crystal, like polished glass, what built-in in the middle of the crossguard. This crystal is important and should be in the cover. If you can make it glow or give the blade, then do it. I provide you some references so you have an idea of what we have in mind. Author: Domenic Albertsen, Lina Witt The book spine title, the subtitle and the authors. The back cover should include three sentences: My blood for you. My power for you. My life for you. Feel free to experiment with it, we think each sentence spatially offset would look good or maybe all sentences under another. Give it a shot, we can discuss it. :)
Nice to have
- If you can, just use a color gradient on the book spine, please.
Should not have
- No objects or landscapes on the spine, only the authors, titles and color.
