My artist just got back to me with the preliminary sketch. (Patreon)

I thought about it for a long while and decided to put Eltiana on the cover. She has a major role in this story and is visually distinctive from the others, which I think works well with the new background theme for the new arc.

And since you guys are paying for it (I've been saving the Patreon money for this, thanks everyone) I decided to go for more of a full-body action pose rather than the normal thigh-up sketch I frequently got before.

You'll also notice that the background is a drawing of the capital instead of a forest scene like the previous three books.

Let me know what you think! I've got to give feedback in a few hours.
