The moment has finally arrived for the cover reveal. For months, I have been weaving the threads of Oakhaven, the secrets of the Aquifers, and the chilling ambition of Lord Valerius into a story I cannot wait to share with you.
Today, I am thrilled to reveal the face of that story.
There is something deeply personal about bringing a story to life with your own hands. I wanted the cover of The Weaver’s Gambit to reflect the duality of Yolena’s world—the delicate precision of her craft and the rising heat of the rebellion in Oakhaven.
Every line you see—from the twin phoenixes watching over the realm to the intricate, open borders—was created to capture that specific “Aquifer glow.” I chose a palette of deep blues and ethereal light to mirror the current of magic that flows through Ascendia. To me, those flames at the sides aren’t just heat; they represent the “physical flare” of power and the transformative journey of being re-forged.
I poured a great deal of heart into weaving these graphics together; I wanted this cover to be a true window into the world I’ve built for you. I hope you enjoy this first glimpse of Ascendia as much as I enjoyed creating it. The book will either be available to buy from my shop on the website for 99p or you can access it through the newsletter for free.
We launch on April 2nd. Between now and then, I want to help you bring your own stories to life with the same level of detail. If the cover has inspired a new character idea or a “morally grey” lead of your own, my Free Character Workbook is the perfect place to start mapping them out. Click the image below.
What do you think of the cover? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
