From concept to cover
Affordable book cover design for indie-authors.
An author puts their heart and soul into their writing - the cover of the book is the first glimpse into that story that lies between the pages.

Boy Jayck
by Lily O. Laverick
Jayckson Havencrest; orphan and Boy on board the Marya, a ship in the Fallacian Empire’s Navy. He’s three months away from turning eighteen and finally being free of the contract he’s been in since the age of eight.
The crew and officers only see him as a plaything they can use when and how they want. He’s thin as a bone; scars and burns litter his body. He has stark white hair and an intriguing glow around the irises in his moonstone coloured eyes.
Somewhere in the Solastro Ocean navigates his beloved, so close to his heart yet so far away from reach. They haven’t seen each other in four years, and Jayckson yearns to be with him. To be safe, desperate for a quiet life away from the torments and assaults.
But the stars and moons have never been on his side. Ever. How can one precisely placed boot and a precious letter stolen from him rip away all his dreams?
What will happen if the forbidden liaison is found out? Could Jayckson possibly survive any more cruelty from the crew and even worse, the commander himself?
