The journey north is over, and the shards of the Primeval Mirror are finally reunited in the deepest heart of the Glinwood. But the end of the road brings a revelation that no one was prepared for.Attempting to destroy the relic before its dark prophecy can corrupt humanity, the mercenary strikes the mirror. But instead of shattering into dust, the artifact tears a breach in reality itself. Out of the fractured glass emerges something that does not belong to this world—a celestial entity of woven, distorted light, shifting in impossible, radiant colours amidst the suffocating woods. A magnificent, blinding anomaly that defies every law of nature.As the forest distorts and the environment begins to unravel, the guide faces his ultimate choice. To save his world, he must shatter the mirror completely and extinguish its ancient magic forever—leaving behind nothing but an Ashen Heart.

The shard of the magic mirror has revealed its secrets, and the path of the mercenary leads further north, deeper into the heart of the ancient Glinwood.To find the truth and uncover the source of the prophetic magic, he must venture into Bramble Deep — a suffocating, sunless thicket of twisted roots and razor-sharp thorns where even the bravest trackers lose their way. Here, hidden from human eyes, rests the Primeval Mirror.But the mirror is not unguarded. The depths of the woods belong to a Troll, a creature as ancient and brutal as the forest itself. In this domain of shadows and thorns, every step demands a blood price, and the price of the future might be life itself.

The country is consumed by fire. Thousands of deserters and refugees are trying to escape to the north, but their path is barred by an ancient, danger-breathing forest and impassable mires. Their only chance to survive is to trust a mercenary who, for a shiny coin, is ready to guide them through this nightmare. He knows the trails, and he never asks unnecessary questions.However, this time, the familiar route turns into a descent into hell.In the depths of the Hollow Slough marshes, something that has been hidden from human eyes for centuries is awakening. A Kikimora, the mistress of these lands, jealously guards a shard of a magic mirror that reflects the future.

The familiar: a cat, a coup, an extra eye

Book cover design for a dark mystery detective novel

Project Brief

◦ Genre: Occult Fantasy / Cozy Magic / Funny Adventure◦ Audience: Young Adult / New Adult (Ages 16–25+).◦ The Vibe: Witchy, cozy, and comedic but with a dark occult twist.◦ What I Did: Character design, full splash screen style cover illustration from scratch with a complex perspective, and custom typography.◦ Main Focus: I really wanted to create a narrative-driven world, not just a character. The goal was to place the mystical familiar with its three eyes and glowing magic at the center of a dynamic chase sequence. I focused on making the background as rich and detailed as the cat itself, so the viewer can find a new story every time they look at it.

It’s not easy being a hereditary... Familiar. Yes, that is his actual name. Generations of witches in this eccentric family were always so busy with their grand research that no one ever bothered to give the three-eyed cat a proper name.To be fair, Familiar is a clever, crafty, and delightfully wicked chap. He is also a walking disaster. After a massive fight with his witch-owner, the furry troublemaker decided to make amends in style: break into the Royal Mage Guild’s restricted archive and swipe a rare spell crucial for her vital experiments.The plan was foolproof. Until his paws got in the way.Triggering an epic avalanche of scrolls and fleeing from the royal guards, Familiar grabbed the first scroll with a matching seal. Too bad that instead of ancient magic, the three-eyed saboteur made off with the Grand Mage’s private papers—containing a detailed plot to overthrow the King!Now, the entire royal army is hunting a humble witch and her furry catastrophe. Can Familiar save the crown and, more importantly, survive his owner’s wrath? After all, he still brought back the wrong scroll...

Blurb

New Orleans, 1888. A lush, suffocating city where the toll of Catholic cathedral bells drowns in the mystical whisper of Voodoo, and the heavy mist off the Mississippi River conceals the dark sins of wealthy planters. Yet, even by the standards of this town, the manor of the eccentric Lord Elliot has become something unnatural. The master of the house has vanished without a trace from his own study, locked from the within, leaving behind nothing but a handful of ash and blueprints covered in chilling symbols.Vivien Soul is brought in to investigate—a stately, cold-blooded woman who is equally well-versed in European occult science and the deep ancestral lore of the Louisiana soil. Stepping across the threshold, Vivien realizes she is dealing with no mere building. Enveloped in Spanish moss on the outside, the Elliot estate is an architectural trap that warps the very laws of physics within. The former owner sought to bind ancient spirits through the forbidden geometry of space, but the ritual fractured.Now, the manor is sealed in an anomalous loop. From the corners of the rooms, bleeding through the Victorian wallpaper and endless bookshelves, a midnight-black marsh dark begins to seep, rewriting reality itself. To escape alive and prevent this otherworldly madness from spilling onto the streets of New Orleans, Vivien must crack the Elliot Cipher, moving deeper into the darkness room by room. But the further she ventures, the clearer it becomes: the house is alive, and it has already begun its hunt.
