DAUGHTER OF SKY AND SORROW

In the matriarchal Raeesan Empire, legacy is law and pain is performance. Trapped between the expectations of her foremothers and the wreckage of war, Fadilah Mahdi must choose: stay humanβ€”or become the weapon they raised her to be.

A moodboard with blue tones. At the center is a glowing blue planet. Surrounding it are: a snake, a cluster of glowing crystals, neon lights forming a geometric pattern, futuristic blocks with glowing lines between them, a pair of hands, some glowing optic fibers, blue crystals laid out in several rows, and some bioluminescent waves. There are two neon squares overlaying the moodboardβ€”one smaller one outlining the plannet at the center, and a larger one crossing through the corner images.
