Book Cover Design Brief

The task is to create a cover design (front, spine and back + bleed) for a new book that will be published shortly. The image is for a normal book and an e-book as well so will end up fairly small in the case of the e-book.

The book is fantasy fiction, all the natural features of Australia remain largely unchanged. The main difference is that the deserts are now all forests and the cities are a lot smaller than they are now.

We need a cover design that is:
Professional
Clearly based in Australia OR in some way indicating it is an Australian book
Not focused on the main character
Modern, Magical and Intriguing
The main character is a young woman (in her twenties) with long slightly curly dark brown/auburn hair.

Title: Australian Magic
Tagline: The Mediator Book # 1
Author: Gabriƫlle Monego

BOOK BLURB:
The magic showed itself with legends and myths returning to everyday life.

Anarchy came.
Murder and mayhem followed its bloody paths as humans started killing the unfamiliar.

Something dark, dangerous and cunning is headed straight for Australia.

A father leaves his daughter.

The Mediator, valuable to maintain the peace between the races, disappears while trouble is escalating.

What can one young woman do to help her country?
Can Australia even be saved?
