Cover of THE SALT ORACLE by Lorraine Wilson, which shows a stylized gold woman's head emerging from blue waves. Skeletons and fishing lines with hooks are entwined throughout the woman's long hair, which is also gold. The rest of the cover is a darker blue than the waves below, but this blue is swirling in a way that evokes waves without matching them.

Cover of WE ARE ALL GHOSTS IN THE FORESTS by Lorraine Wilson, showing green grass with blue-gray trees. There is a cat standing next to one of the trees and a couple have birds in their branches, and three bright yellow winged figures are in the air.

Fantasy worlds feel real when they carry scars, not just scenery.

A kingdom that remembers its famine. A city built over its own ruins. A magic system shaped by a war nobody won.

Depth isn't decoration. It's consequence. 🗡️
