Fantasy book cover with a black orb surrounded by swirling blue and gold mystical energy on a pastel purple background. Text: SoulBound, Ashes and Echoes, C. S. Mercer.

YA fantasy book cover. Elegant, mystical, and magical. Top: Series title “SoulBound” in a large, glowing mystical font (soft gold or silver). Middle: Book title “Ashes and Echoes” slightly smaller, glowing subtly with a magical gradient (soft blues, purples, and golds). Bottom: Author name “C.S. Mercer” in smaller, clean, readable font. Central image: A floating black orb (representing the Mood Ring) surrounded by swirling, abstract magical energy. The magical energy subtly shifts in color to suggest emotions and mystical power. No hands or characters visible—focus entirely on the orb and magic. Background: Minimalist, soft pastel gradient or twilight tones—light purples, pinks, blues, and golds. Subtle glowing particles or light trails to suggest magic, but simple and elegant. Style: Digital painting, painterly or slightly surreal, mystical, YA fantasy. Focus on color, light, and magical energy rather than literal objects. Bright, whimsical, and uplifting in tone. See more
