I have the pleasure to present you the cover artwork of the third novel of my high fantasy trilogy: "Chronicles of Arlen, Book III: The Fall of the Kingdom". The artwork was drawn by my illustrator, Sebastiano B. Brocchi.

Eph, sorry but I see only the word 'ímage', not the picture. You have to upload it first from an external source and then use the weblink to insert it in your post. Hope that helps.

Eph: Oh that is looking really nice, of a mom and dad I presume and two daughters. You have a good hand in picturing people, much better than I can. I am sure they will have exciting adventures and are not afraid to meet adversaries. Cool those depictions of the castles in the background. I believe it is mix between the middleages and magic, combined? Congrats on the cover artwork!

It's four siblings, two brothers (left) and two sisters (right). The younger brother still looks childish, that's why you mistook him for a girl. The illustration was drawn by my illustrator, Sebastiano B. Brocchi, not by me.

Eph: Ah sorry, I missed that fact. In that case the words count for the illustrator. Thanks for explaining of what I assumed. I was not certain about the genders really, but it doesn't matter. It was the diadem in the hair. It is very nice and inspirational bookcover. Hat off for what Brocchi made for you. 
Are you happy with it?
