Here it is! My latest baby. I am so incredably proud of this design and illustration and I am thrilled that Shaye loves it just as much. But without further ado! Here is the illustrated book cover for Red Masquerade by Shaye Madison, design and art by yours truly.
Comment below if you'd like to see a break down of how this cover art came so neatly to life!
MORE ON RED MASQUERADE
It’s the 1920s, and money, liquor, and lust are flowing freely in the great city of New York, where dreams are made—and destroyed.
Helena Quintrell isn’t the only one in the city with a dark past she’d rather forget. Born into a newly wealthy family, she spends her nights dancing and drinking with her friends, much to the disapproval of her mother, who wants to see her settle down as a ‘proper woman’ would. When her brother Lucas comes home to find her a husband, her past threatens to break or strengthen her against his iron will and menace.
Until she runs into the only man she’d ever truly loved—who is supposed to be dead.
Vince Thornton is not the man he used to be. He’s extremely rich and throws notoriously debauched parties every night, parties where everyone who’s anyone attends. Helena falls into his world of night, her eyes opened to the possibilities of luxury and immortality, where blood is the only cost of freedom.
But Lucas doesn’t want to let her go, and the game just gets deadlier the more she falls into Vince’s den of monsters.
Red Masquerade is a gothic and dark Great Gatsby-inspired romance. It is a spicy second chance romance, not a slow burn, with themes only for those 18+, including: gore, sexual content, misogyny and profanity, and other potentially triggering scenes.
