The background of the cover should have three settings--one underwater with a scary looking shark, another in the ancient Egyptian desert with the Sphynx, and the third in London (with Big Ben). There should be a boy standing who has a shining/glowing silver infinity pendant necklace.
Font should be dramatic, sci-fi and clear to read. There should be a time motif throughout, as the book is about time travel.
The title should be heavily stylized like the Percy Jackson/Magnus Chase series. I appreciate attention to detail. Should look like an oil painting.

In the ruins of the world after the sixth extinction, rose the 'central'- an effort to protect endangered mankind, surrounded by fifteen sub sectors.
We were taught to live in that arrangement for the rest of our lives to avoid discord. So when I was told that I am special, I thought it was a joke. But some jokes can turn your entire life around. Being special here is the same as being dangerous.
I don’t know if I am a threat. I do know that Earth would end a couple of months from now. But they say I can change that. But change has cost. And that cost is lives. Now I need to choose between killing hope or killing Earth. Neither option is nice, but there is one that is slightly worse than the other.
I am Edna Glare. I am the lost fire of mother nature.")

The paperback is 8.5 in by 5.5 inches.
I would like a light background with the title in large, easy to read font.
I want a simple design and probably abstract. But a picture is fine also.
I want the cover to have a spiritual, easy, soft feeling. Not hard and clinical.
I don't want a literal interpretation, but some keywords in the book are - easy; 4 steps; struggle less; faith; let go; spirituality.")

The book consists mainly of Alex on the run from a ruthless secret society called Vita Aeterna, and trying to solve the mystery of what has happened to him. (A medical experiment extended his life expectancy to almost 500 years)
The world is divided into 3 classes: A tiny Elite of ultra-wealthy living in a walled-in paradise called the First Circle, a larger group of workers for the corporations who service them, and a vastly larger group living in extreme poverty. I conceive of the cover as featuring a dark background of a crumbling city, maybe with a figure running? I had an idea of having an image in the distance of the wall surrounding the impossibly opulent First Circle – an image of the 'pearly gates' to paradise might be a good symbol to use. What attracted me to the current cover was the figure standing at the end of a long road, contemplating an unknown future. That is how I visualize Alex.")
