EXCERPT
Letting the magic come to me in the same way it had begun in the park, I smelled pine needles and mushrooms. At that moment, I wanted to push to get it deeper, but I forced myself to stay relaxed and let it flow through me while I told the plant how terrific it would be outside. Sun, water, and CO2 for photosynthesis, all were waiting for her if she would come out of the soil, and that my magic would help her grow faster, that she wouldn’t have to wait any longer. The feeling of earth magic got stronger, and the inner picture before me was bathed in green. I said the words of the spell. After that, I focused again on the plant, imagining how the seed germinated, how the sprouting fought its way to the surface, how the seed leaves opened, sheeting the seed coat, and how the first leaves developed and opened.
Suddenly, I heard clapping. Losing my concentration, I opened my eyes. Umbra stood before me, a broad smile on her face.
“You did it!”
I frowned for a second before I looked down. The seedling stood before me, the seed coat next to it on the soil. Exactly how I had imagined it. I put my hand in front of my mouth, tears welling in my eyes.
“I did it. I did it!” I jumped up and down, clapping my hands. I was a real witch! I could do magic, after all! Full of joy, I embraced Umbra and circled her around while we both laughed.

Thanks so much for having me as a guest. I’m thrilled to tell you a bit about my book cover and how it came about.
The cover of The Nephilim’s Fate is a striking blend of black and red, colors that hold deep significance in the story. The black represents the Nephilim, who carry a dark, powerful aura, while the red symbolizes the witches, with their equally intense magical presence. Since the main characters, Nate and Alissia, are a Nephilim and a witch, it felt fitting to use these colors to reflect the essence of their identities and the central conflict of the story.
At the heart of the cover is a broadsword, which is Nate’s weapon of choice. It serves as a reminder of his strength and his warrior nature, highlighting the battles—both physical and emotional—that he faces throughout the story. This sword is more than just a weapon; it represents Nate's duty, his internal struggle, and his desire to protect those he loves.
Alongside the sword, you'll find the delicate yet bold image of red roses. These flowers stand for love, passion, and in this case, a nod to England, where the story takes place. The roses also symbolize the beauty and danger of the romance between Nate and Alissia, which is as captivating as it is forbidden.
On the upper part of the cover, a depiction of Big Ben immediately grounds the story in London, giving readers a sense of place. This iconic landmark sets the tone for the urban fantasy setting, merging the modern world with the ancient, supernatural elements that shape the narrative.
And of course, one of the most prominent features of the cover is the large, black, feathery wings that dominate the middle. These wings are a visual representation of the Nephilim, showcasing their angelic heritage and power. The wings evoke both majesty and mystery, hinting at the dark and seductive nature of the Nephilim in the story.
Each element on the cover was carefully chosen to reflect the story’s themes, characters, and setting, coming together to create a visual that captures the intensity and allure of The Nephilim’s Fate. It’s a perfect introduction to the dark, romantic world readers will step into when they open the book.
