A photo of 3 My Lord books by Shimaira. The first and last show the spine while the middle shows the book's pages with a printed edge, forming the image of a kneeling woman in front of a door.
Photo of the book, open, showcasing a full-page artwork and the printed edge being a sliver of the same scene. The art shows 2 women in a dark castle hallway. One is holding a lantern while the other is kneeling and picking a lock.
Coming soon... The special hardcover edition of MY LORD 😁
