Winds of War, by Mica De Leon

Book Cover Design

Keyline

Set in a sprawling world inspired by Philippine mythology and packed with myth, magic, and romance, the Winds of War, the first book in the Seed Mage Cycle, follows the wind mage Mayin, who begins the epic fantasy saga of the seed mages of Kayumalon

Design Brief

  • Features Yin, the wind mage, and her seed god, Dian, the golden raptor.

  • Her veins should be glowing gold or if that can’t be translated into the illustration, then she
    should appear to be glowing golden at least. When seed mages wield the magic in the story,
    their veins glow in the color of the magic they are using.

  • Dian is inspired by the Minokawa from Philippine mythology and the Ibong Adarna from
    Philippine Classic Literature.

  • Yin’s color palette leans toward yellows and golds.
