ALT Art by nataliab_draws of three people on a plain bronze background with a triangle decorated frame. To the left, a white person with black flowing hair reaches for the person in the middle. He wears a red khlamus and khiton and he appears enraged as he reaches cruelly. The person in the middle wears Mycenaean clothing with green and silver, and she looks back over her shoulder to the person on the right. She has dark curly hair and has psoriasis plaques on her skin. On the right, a person with warm brown skin is dressed in Achaemenid traditional clothing of golds and purples and blacks, and he gently leans into the person in the middle. He wears a crown of gold and amethyst and he holds her softly.

ALT 2 book covers feature a pair of adventurers, a young man and a young woman in Renaissance attire with touches of steampunk. In The Mysterium, they stand in a gaslit passageway of hewn stones. In The Smokavalaris they stand on a pier against a backdrop of purple sky and blue sea. A rock island rises behind them while an ominous pirate ship lurks in the distance. The books are one sale—2 dollars for the set.

ALT A 3 by 3 blue-tinged moodboard consisting of 9 squares.

ALT Drawing of a man with long red hair holding a carved figure. A snippet reads: The scars on his skin were invisible to him. They were nothing more than a part of who he was, how he'd learned. He couldn't remember how each was won, whether it was by knife or wood or something else entirely. His father carried the same scars. A lineage told through a painting of failures and victories.

ALT A collage of nine images showing: a fancy academic building, a picture of a pair of eyes held in front of a face, a woman boxing, shadows of a group of people, code on a laptop and phone, the London skyline, a reflection in glass, a young woman with dark hair and a serious expression and a silhouette of a woman in front of a city. The images are intended to convey a sense of emotional darkness, hidden or changing identities and the urban setting.

ALT Tropes (with character art of the couple in the middle): Grumpy Sunshine, Scarred MMC, Bookish FMC, Widowed Father, Forbidden Romance, Fairytale Retelling.

ALT A beautiful governess’s curiosity threatens to illuminate the darkness where Lord Spencer hides his deepest regret and ugliest scars. “Elly” Elizabeth Avery will do anything to provide for her ailing mother, even go to Rose Castle to work as a governess to the daughter of a reclusive Earl who hides in the shadows. Lord John Spencer’s dreams burned to ash in the fire that took his wife six years ago. All that’s left are the deep burn scars covering half his body, and the sweet daughter he does his best to care for. He’s built walls around his heart and life, but the new governess keeps casting light on his worst mistakes. Feelings begin to spark between them, but even the faintest ember cannot be allowed to turn into flames. Society says one thing, their hearts speak another. When news calls Elly to her mother’s side, John must decide between duty and devotion—freedom over fear. However, no matter what he does he will lose her, for no one could ever learn to love a monster.
