Book Cover Design Brief

The cover should reflect a dark mood with magical undertones. I cannot find a picture anywhere of what I'm looking for so use your best imagination, folks. I want a symbol on the cover which is the house insignia (symbol) of the main antagonist. It is an outstretched hand with a tree sprouting from the palm. The tree should be naked, no branches, and appear ominous.

The front cover should include the title and the author's name:
Way of the South
B.J. Leonard

The back cover should include the synopsis:

Nice to have
  • ATTENTION: I HAVE POSTED SOME PHOTOS TO AID IN GIVING A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR. The hand should be masculine (god-like or immortal looking would be a great touch!) and outstretched. The tree should be alive but stripped of leaves. I would love to see the roots of the tree embedded into the hand. Again the cover should have a dark, fantasy feel. Please bring this idea to life. These photos are only a STARTING POINT. Thank you!
