🦚💙 THE PEACOCK THRONE ART REVEAL 💙🦚
Celebrating the 4 week mark until the release of THE PEACOCK THRONE on November 24 with this gorgeous art of the main character Eshaal wandering through the palace of her dreams and nightmares!
Have you ever seen anything so stunning?? @mossillustra knocked this completely out of the park. Look at Eshaal’s expression!! At the moonlight hitting the jalis down the hallway! At the GEMSTONE PEACOCK STATUES with RUBIES AT THEIR THROATS!! I’m actually still speechless 😍
This piece is part of the preǒrder campaign for THE PEACOCK THRONE! Head to the 🔗 in my b1o for all the details + 🔗s for signed and personalized copies from @onemorepagebooks!!
💘ABOUT THE BOOK💘
In this lush, South Asian-inspired epic fantasy, a young woman must uncover her secret past to free her kingdom from terrible colonial forces-if the Throne doesn’t kill her first.
Seventeen-year-old Eshaal Bibi is just another orphan. At least, that’s the story her family has always told her-that her parents were among the many killed during the fall of the Azzamin empire. But what if that isn’t entirely true? What if the dreams Eshaal had while struck by a magical malady-the ones where she is a princess, the last heir to the Peacock Throne, and the would-be savior of Azzamin-are real?
Eshaal becomes possessed by the idea, but her pursuit of the truth quickly draws the attention of colonial authorities. To save herself, Eshaal is forced to flee and marry the heir of a secret loyalist family, the handsome and infuriating Imran Mirza. But with a possible princess in his sights and revolution on the horizon, Eshaal’s new husband will let nothing stop him from taking back their country-not even the simmering tension between them.
With her enemies circling, Eshaal will be put to the test, the fate of Azzamin itself in the balance. And whether she’s a princess or just a pretender, Eshaal knows one thing to be true: Nothing is more powerful-or deadlier-than belief.

“Honestly, Vic, what happened to forever?” - Victorious by @veschwab❤️ Illustration commissioned by @boekerij @bestoffantasy for Endpapers of the Dutch edition of Victorious 🫡
HAPPY VICTORIOUS RELEASE DAY❤️❤️❤️❤️ this trilogy occupies a Scary amount of space in my mind. Vicious was the first book that got me well and Truly obsessed, and it’s been a crazy journey ever since. I think i read it along with Vengeful at a pivotal time in my life and victorious feels like the perfect follow up 6 years later. some of my earliest book fanart from december 2020 is all based on vicious!!! feeling a lot of feelings today and so honored to have been part of this project 🫶

CHARACTER ART DROP!!!
@mossillustra and I are so excited to share the main characters at the center of THE BLACKTHORN HEIRS. Darling readers, please allow us to introduce you to Princess Marinka Klementyna Sobieska and P̶r̶i̶n̶c̶e̶ Zachary James Edward Stuart. (Aka Mr. Zach Huntly)
THE STORY BEHIND THE ART —
Twenty young men are set to compete for Princess Marinka’s hand in marriage—but one of them is the secret heir to her throne.
You’ve Got Mail meets The Bachelorette (but the 👏PEOPLE 👏are picking their prince!) in THE BLACKTHORN HEIRS and it’s chock full of:
⛪Marriage competitions
🌹Bachelor satire
⚔️Rivals to lovers
📖 Secret-identity romance
Magic trees
🐦⬛Animal companions
💁🏻♀️She saves him
👑This crown ain’t big enough for the both of us
Swipe for an excerpt and save this post so you can be sure to check back and add it to your TBR when it hits the shelves someday soon. 😉
What do you think Zach will decide?? Reclaim his crown, or protect the girl whose family stole it?
Be sure to follow the artist @mossillustra who had this to say about the piece: “I really loved the atmosphere of the piece and going for a more misty/Scottish Highlands (without harsh/dramatic lighting) look. I also really enjoyed the character design here and seeing how with each draft the characters felt more like themselves!”
Anna is so amazingly talented and was the most patient partner in bringing this story to life. 20/10 go hire her for all your bookish art needs!!

“I yearned for power too. I yearned for the freedom and choice and protection it could offer.” - In the Veins of the Drowning by @kaliecassidybooks
There are specific books where I get such a vivid image of the characters and the world, and In the Veins of the Drowning is definitely one of them. With this painting specifically I wanted to do Imogen in red (similar to the dress she is wearing in the first chapters) but where she is clearly a lot more in her element/in a position of power. I also wanted to use this painting as an opportunity to experiment on things I hadn’t done before. (The camera angle was lowk brutal but I’m really happy with it, I fear I have not been using high camera placement enough) I also really enjoyed working on the outfit and the endless sparkles and jewels adorning it.
What I love about Imogen is her vulnerability and her ability to adapting to her conditions to survive, and I really wanted to show that here—an element of caution and preparedness (also an excuse for me to paint her pretty talons djfhdjhf). I kept coming back to her because a lot of her choices feel so real and so grounded and i love spending time with characters like her.
Alsoooo there may be a matching Theo piece coming soon🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣

Im incredibly grateful to @mossillustra for this breathtaking portrait she did of Wei from the book The Poet Empress by @storygoose
It’s a book unlike any other, and once you start it you won’t be able to stop!
For those of you who have read the book, you’ll appreciate all the amazing details @mossillustra has included so thoughtfully 🥹

“For now, I must do terrible, punishing things to keep my people and you safe. Come back to me and absolve me of them.” - In the Veins of the Drowning by @kaliecassidybooks
Swipe to see the full piece🫡🫡 Recently read In the Veins of the Drowning by and enjoyed it so much! It had such a distinct dark yet whimsical aesthetic and entertaining world that I instantly wanted to illustrate. Also Imogen and Theo OMG!!!!!!! BOOK 2 WHEN!!!!!!
This illustration doesn’t reference a particular scene, but rather I wanted to sort of encapsulate the dreamy and whimsical feeling i got from reading the whole book (also theo’s letter was a major contributor cuz THE YEARNING)
I have always loved marine landscapes and seemed like the perfect opportunity to study some of my favorite artists’ work and y’all… painting the ocean is No joke 🫠🫠🫠🫠

Sometimes i get a lot of pent up feelings about culture and then Boom an Anoush portrait happens lol.
One of the few surviving examples of pre-christian pagan armenian portraiture are the coins left from the ancient armenian monarchs and i had an idea to paint Anoush in a similar pose for a while (obviously dialing up the drama to 11)
A lot of the design decisions regarding her appearance are my love letter to my culture but also very much a response to how Eurocentric beauty standards have contorted the understanding what is and what is not considered ‘beautiful’ and how it often forces women who do not fit that look into a lifetime of procedures and changes that are essentially imposed on a culture. With Anoush specifically, I really wanted to lean into the features that a ton of Armenian women (and women from SWANA in general) share without the Eurocentric lens morphing it.
