(The Fatality series is available here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFK7P1GG )
Paperbacks are proofs that the Fatality series is published. Only took a lot of years, blood, sweat, tears, too much querying and rejections. All those things authors don't talk about when they're writing and publishing their novels. But it's over. I'm passed that now. And here they are!
On their own, the covers aren't very interesting, so I've been told. Hopefully as a set, they look awesome. There are several themes that carry throughout the set: Color; from almost greyscale, to rainbow, to neon and fire; color reveals the truth. Numbers; the number of trees present reflect which book is in the series. Trees; the state of the trees, from full to chopped, because also the content is getting more stressful for the character. The character slowly being revealed; because she's way too alien to show off in book 1, but also it represents that she is stepping out of the shadows and coming into her own. Moon position; a passing of time, but it's also the celestial object associated with Aons, moon rising. In the end, it's like it's own little 3-panel comic! I'd like to think these designs are smart. Maybe. I dunno.
Same approach used for all three. White silhouettes on their own layers. Skies are more layers and lots of Chaotic stock. The last one is totally worth the wait.

I do enjoy the story these covers tell, and of course love the posing on the last one. It is cool to see the full silhouette. The gains of power and confidence in each subsequent one.
Glad that some of the themes are that clear.
Looking forward to sending these to you, soon!
