The Rise of a King Character Concept Art

-

Whenever I start a new book in the series I always look for character concept art to inspire the story...

As I am now done with the second book (being published in 10 days!!!!!!!!) I'm looking towards the final book in the trilogy, but first I am going to share the concept art for the characters from the Rise of a King. These are all completely just lifted from a Google search of the internet, I don't have any rights to anything. :) Just a fun way to visualize a story. But readers can see them however they envision them, that's the beauty of reading...just move along if you aren't interested.

Now, these images aren't exactly perfect...but a good approximation for different reasons.

Drayden. At the beginning of the story Drayden is handsome, alluring and the all-powerful prince of the Cirque, but as the story progresses he becomes more and more destroyed by his own self-hatred and longing for something that is not his...

Changing the Cover Art for The Reign of a Queen and Music that Inspired the Story

I just never was that into my book cover for The Reign of a Queen, I thought it was sort of cheesy, but then I didn't, then I did, and then I found this!!!!!! YES! This one tells the story much better.
My fourteen year old agrees this is the one. So...three more weeks and The Reign of a Queen will be here. 
As a tidbit to tempt you I'm including a few songs that are fueling the writing at the moment. 
I Want You to Want Me Gary Jules I love this... it's so haunting...Farrow's Song


This is also so sad and beautiful
Jasmine Thompson cover of Everybody Hurts ..Rayelynn's Song




So dark, deep and uplifting...Drayden's song.
Disturbed - Sounds of Silence


and Hallelujah by Pentatonix


and lastly, my daughter's choir :) but seriously this song got me...and it definitely foreshadows the end of this book and the trilogy :)

REMINDER :) THE REIGN OF A QUEEN IS COMING SOON!!!!!! Just a couple of weeks now (March. 11, 2020) and Reign of a Queen will be live on Amazon :) I am so excited about this first series of three books being completed and Rayelynn, Farrow and Drayden's stories told.

After that, the next book will be a stand-alone, Desdemona due out in the summer of 2020...more on that later.

So...as I have started writing books under Azriel Hope, I've been learning a lot about self-publishing. As I learn, I adjust. I am so grateful that people are enjoying The Fall of Arcades and The Rise of a King and I'm so excited to publish the Reign of a Queen which I think is the best of all three books. However, with that said, I have gotten a few bad reviews for The Fall of Arcades to accompany the many good ones.

It was the first book in the series and I wrote it with so much passion, my beta readers loved it, my editor loved it and well...I thought the world would love it. But after some very wel…
