So there is this amazing, whimsical book titled, Illusionary. It already has a beautiful cover. When it came out I hosted an Interview with author Desiree Williams, which you can read here.
So to refresh, here’s the back copy with the old cover:
Dorothy got sucked into a tornado.
Alice fell down a hole.
Wendy flew to Neverland.
Kamryn? She tripped down the stairs.
Now, Kamryn Kensington finds herself in a strange new world. Within minutes of her arrival, she dodges an archer’s arrow and avoids getting sliced up by a cosplay reject holding a dagger to her throat. And that’s before the storyteller’s breath brings stories to life.
Home is the mission—to return to her family and pursue her life’s dream of art and travel. Yet the longer she’s in the Land of Ur, the harder it is not to feel for the people she meets. Even her artistic side can’t help but breathe in the beautiful wonder and magic of this new world. So when the Oracle hands her a different quest, she takes it on the condition he sends her home afterward.
No one thought to warn her of a jealous queen and her dragon minions. Or that, by helping her, the cute storyteller would go crazy. Or that her heart would rip in two when she left. Those would’ve been great facts to know ahead of time.
Considering that nothing in Ur is what it seems, the mission proves to be more than she ever imagined. But more than her own future will be in jeopardy if Kamryn doesn’t succeed.

The first cover is so cute with it’s pink and purple tones and the innocent girl who perfectly represents Kam’s childlike wonder. How is any new cover going to top that?

Oh my gosh, it’s so beautiful! It still has the gorgeous pink and purple tones, but now it also has a maturity and a mystery to it. And I love the magic sparkles.
