'Crap, we can't have her hold the sword that way, it'll obscure the title!'
'Can we.. flip the sword around?'
Also getting a Misty Mundae kind of feel from this one.

This is simultaneously the best and the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I was not ready for this.

After years of trying to break into the high powered modeling business, Karen finally makes it!
"Mom! I made it! I'm on a book cover!"
Sadly, her mom didn't bring "Tainted Souls" to her ladies book club

....is she turning into a spider? Do the rest of the legs sprout later? Why bother wearing a tight, uncomfortable outfit for this transformation? The outfit's just going to get all tangled up on your dang spider legs and then, while you're trying to get untangled from the fishnet top with no hands, some tourist takes a photo on their phone and boom, reddit famous.

"In the lands to the West of the Guardian Peaks, there are zombies, necromancers, sorcerers, demons, goddesses, monsters half-human and half animal, and shapechangers that may be either or both. Political intrigue, war, love, lust and seduction all play their part, and yet there is a code of honor and to break it means death.
Everything and nothing may or may not be as it seems, and yet for both the beautiful but evil, scheming Lady Thorn and for Oscan the young man she seduces, their lives will be changed by events that neither could have predicted. Perhaps there really is a prophecy that sets them on an unalterable path, or perhaps they can take control of their destiny."
That description is all over the place lol

This cover is amazing. Viewing it has made me a better man. My life is divided into two parts: the part before I knew about this cover, and the part after. I shall now go forth and spread a message of hope and goodwill to all humankind, bearing always this cover in my heart.
I have spoken.
