My book Chateau Cascade (and its two sequels) has themes like this. Main character is a boy with dreams of becoming a hero, doesn't know shit about battle or spellcraft, etc. Dreams of joining an elite group of warriors & mages called the Cascadian Knights. Throughout the books he gains power that can almost rival those of the biggest players in the world..

Thank you! I worked very hard on it. Also I forgot to mention that people shit on the old cover, and now that's changed too.

>lel. You came back after we shat on you
Some of the criticism was useful. A lot of it was stupid. I took the good criticism under advisement and some of it really did help with the second edition.

>Didn't we used to get you banned too for your shilling?
Not that I know of, no. There was some Mexican mtf transgender who really hated me and banned me from his discord server. He used to spam his discord server in here, which I'm glad to see doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

I paid a very talented asian man a lot of money. Basically I thumbed through artstation accounts for many, many hours looking for somebody who had the kind of style that I had in mind. I got this list down to two people, and ended up settling on this guy. We then went back and forth over email as I described the characters, the positions I wanted them in, their poses, their expressions, et cetera. Almost every little thing about the covers is intentional -- especially which characters are in which positions. It was very important to me to get the covers right, since for pretty much everybody it's their introduction to my work.

That character is specifically meant to be something of a parody of Saruman, especially in looks. I'm glad you noticed.

>To me they looked kind of Star Wars book covers

This is on purpose too. The main character of these books is meant to be a quasi-parody of the hero's journey archetype which Luke embodies.
