"King's Imitation" is a medieval fantasy that will eventually be a trilogy that revolves around four to five characters trying to get the throne back from a shapeshifter. It involves assassins, warrior princesses, thieves, soldiers, and mysterious, yellow, glowing shard of stone that has strange powers.
Since the series is called the Shards of Rul, the use of what is described as: a six inch shard of stone, like glass that glows with a yellow, ambient light and has red streaks shooting through it, was my main point of focus for the cover. The crown used in the series was also used to give the feeling of fighting for power.
The other two book covers will also focus on one of the main elements of respective stories.
