Set in a parallel world in which large swathes of East Anglia and the South have been lost to rising sea levels, These Fated Gifts tells the story of estranged twin sisters, Elin and Bryn, fated to defend both old world and new from the man who orphaned them.

Yes, it's oil on paper, which allowed me to fiddle with it until I was happy! 😁 I'd say that both locations get their fair share of page time, since I was looking to contrast the two ways of life that the twin sisters experience. It's an alternate version of our world, but still very recognisable.

I'm so excited to reveal the cover for my latest novel, featuring my own artwork! These Fated Gifts feels like coming home, in that it combines my love of East Anglia and London with my passion for writing and painting. Coming 16th Oct from @elsewhen.press #booksky #fantasyficton #clifi

Revealing the cover of Amy Orrell’s forthcoming fantasy novel These Fated Gifts, a dramatic tale of magic, power, love and the need to belong. Out 16 Oct 2026. Amy herself painted the beautiful cover.

These Fated Gifts by Amy Orrell; Cover art painted by Amy Orrell; on a swirling body of water with reeds in the foreground, two swallowtail butterflies flutter above the water while a pair of lightbursts have left an interweaving trail. In the distance is the skyline of a city with skyscrapers that looks to be a future version of London.

It's just a week until I can share the cover of my latest clifi-fantasy book. I produced the artwork for this one myself, and so I'm extra excited (and extra nervous) to unveil it! #booksky #fantasyficton #climatefiction #sciencefiction #elsewhenpress

I love these aerial photos from @john-fielding.bsky.social. The coastline of Norfolk is constantly changing, even more so withthe effects of climate change. In the parallel world of my fantasy novel - out this autumn - Great Yarmouth has returned to the sea... #fantasyfiction #clifi
