Book Cover Design Brief

The book is called "The Master of Carn" and tells Jerreck's from a boy to a 30 year old man.

The draft blurb is as follows:

"During a childhood accident on the isolated, inhospitable planet where he grows up, 13 year old Jerreck is possessed by a demon that hungers for supremacy at all costs. Realising that Jerreck has latent magical powers the demon conceals itself, biding its time, until it can possess Jerreck and control him for its own purposes.

Jerreck is taken to the planet Carn and becomes an Initiate in the Mastery. It is here that he receives training to control his powers and become one of the most powerful wizards of his generation.

Years later, the demon strikes. Forcing Jerreck to betray the trust and loyalty of those around him, it uses him to overthrow an ancient order, replacing it with a despotic tyranny built on hate. It makes Jerreck the most powerful, feared and despised man in the Galaxy.

As the violence escalates, only a small group of friends have the power to stop the demon and they are in a deadly race to prevent it from destroying everything that they hold dear, including Jerreck himself."

Initiates of Carn wear a light bright red cloak and as their training progresses this gets darker until they are able to wear the dun coloured robes and gain their staff and perhaps, as in Jerreck's case become a Master of Carn.

The story is an epic fantasy with different planets, spaceships and wizards.

I have self-published the book on Amazon. You can find it under the title or me, Jonathan B Evans, and take a look inside for free. On my author page you can also find the video that I prepared to promote the book. The stock photo that I used in the cover has been used by others and I am looking for a new design which illustrates the above. The design will need to be colour but work as a thumbprint in black and white (like every other book on Amazon), but I am looking for the full cover including space for the above blurb (although this will need to be finalised) and the spine as I may use it for print on demand. The image must be at least 600 pixels tall and suitable for a printed book of 12.8cm by 19.5cm. I need the book title and my name "Jonathan B Evans" on the front and am looking for an innovative design which will fit in with books of a similar genre but stand out from the crowd.
