A book cover. This cover has a black background with tiny white stars. The title text at the bottom reads “Mercy” with the name “Ian Haramaki” underneath it.
The majority of the cover is a pale man with dark curly hair wearing intricately patterned priest vestments depicting saints, gold swirls, black suns, and black and gold teardrops. Importantly, the vestments have a circular cutout over the chest.
Behind the figure’s head is a circle of gold, surrounded by a ring of gray snake scales, further surrounded by a gray 8 point star with black lines radiating from the center. Around the 8 point star is another ring of gold with white angel wings surrounding it. A pair of dark gray hands with gold freckles emerge from the ring of gold to cover the face and mouth of the main figure in an erotic manner.
Mercy's book cover in the center, surrounded by trope text. They read as follows: Boob window priest x mouthy bi angel. Love is healing. M/M Adult Romantasy. Cozy but also dark. Slavic inspired setting. Sun and Moon magic system. Slow burn for impatient people. Altar scene. Oh and the confessional too. "Touch him and [redacted]". So many pet names.
