Birgit Nachtnebel

"Flüstern der Wellen," the first book in the Flüstern Trilogy, is a spellbinding Romantasy story set in the magical realm of Avalon. Elara Vale, a human girl with a mysterious lineage, is thrust into a world of elemental magic, political intrigue, and rigid hierarchies when she unexpectedly finds herself at the Academy of Eryndor. Underestimated and unwelcomed, Elara must navigate a society where her very existence is questioned. As she uncovers secrets about her past, her forbidden connection with Killian, a stoic elemental prince, sparks emotions that challenge the boundaries of their worlds. A tale of resilience, love, and the power of self-discovery begins.

Demographics: Primarily female readers, ages 16–35. Genre Preferences: Fans of romantic fantasy (Romantasy), magical academy settings, and character-driven stories. Reader Profile: Those who love emotionally charged relationships, intricate magical worlds, and themes of forbidden love and self-discovery.

Paperback

I am looking for a magical and captivating cover design for the first book of my trilogy, Flüstern-Trilogie. The cover should create strong visual recognition and a cohesive style that can be carried over to the second and third books in the series. It’s essential that the covers for all three books clearly belong to the same series while still showcasing distinct elements for each title:Book 1: Flüstern der Wellen (Whispers of the Waves):Book 2: Flüstern des Waldes (Whispers of the Forest)Book 3: Flüstern des Windes (Whispers of the Wind)Paperback Dimensions: 5 x 8 inches

Generic Fantasy Covers: Avoid typical dragons, or overly dark designs. Focus on a magical, emotional, and romantic atmosphere. Overcrowded Designs: Keep it elegant and clean – don’t include too many elements that distract from the title or mood. Cartoonish or Comic Styles: The design should feel mature, high-quality, and suitable for Romantasy readers aged 13+. Modern or Urban Elements: No skylines, cars, or modern typography – it should clearly feel like high fantasy. Overly Dark Colors: Avoid making it too grim or depressing. Aim for a balance of mysticism, elegance, and allure. Overdone Romance: Skip cliché couple poses on the cover. Symbolic and subtle designs are better. Flat or Non-Magical Elements: The design must feel magical and immersive, reflecting Avalon’s mystic world. Dominant Faces or Portraits: Avoid large, detailed faces. Silhouettes or abstract figures are fine, but readers should use their imagination for the characters.

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets. Book cover starts at €289.
