The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows the title written in electric purple and bright pink outlined in white on a black background. Radiating out from the title are purple-ish digital outlines cascading outward making a tunnel effect. The background image is wavy electric blue lines with white spots of light, vaguely mimicking an organic circuit board.

The two posters sit in the center of the image. The first is for Livid Lady's Guide. It shows a young woman with long silver hair in a white dress suit holding an open book in her right hand while a flat, glowing blue magical circle is balanced in her left. The poster is cut down the middle with everything on the left being sunny and bright and everything on the right being dark and cool. On the left are three women in a library with lilies and marigolds at the bottom. On the right are a woman, a person with short hair, and a little kid with dark purple roses at the bottom. The second poster is for Inept Villainess. It shows two young women, both have long dark hair, and are wearing traditional Chinese robes. The one in the foreground is happy and in the middle of a spin. She is wearing a black and red outfit with a golden comb decorated with red tassels. The woman in the back is looking calmly to the left and is wearing a white and gold outfit with two yellow lotus flowers in her hair. Magical golden butterflies fly across the scene and a shooting star is pictured in the top right corner. The background of the image is an abstract bokeh photo in a gradient of yellow, blue, and red. At the top of the image is "Livid Ladies & Inept Villainesses" and at the bottom "A Fantasy-Faction Anime Review".

The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows a greenish-gray stone surface cut with crude spiral or moon patterns. In the center of the cover is a spread out pile of black ash or dust. There are two clear spots at the center where you can see through to the stone below. These spots are shaped like eyes and they have wispy plumes of smoke rising from them. The background of the image is a green stone with natural patterning that looks a lot like spirals.

The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows a cartoon illustration of a green field with a forest behind it on the right and snowcapped mountains behind it on the left. Large puffy clouds float in a sky that fades from purple to orange at the horizon. In the clouds a wyvern's silhouette can be seen. Standing in the field, and taking up most of the image, is the word "UH" made to look like it's carved from a rust colored gem. Above it floats a cream colored banner with the words "The Legend Of" written in slate blue. Sitting at the foot of the UH is an open treasure chest filled with gold and a pink bikini top. The background of the image is a sunset sky in the same colors as the sky on the cover.

The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows three people standing on one side of a giant hanging scale made of dark metal. In the front is a Black woman with a shaved head holding a spear. She is bent over and holding onto the edge of the scale scanning the area ahead of her. In the back left is a white woman with long blond hair in a white outfit. She has her right hand out in front of her and is causing small stones to levitate in her palm. In the back left, shoulder to shoulder with her, is a white man with medium length dark hair in silver chainmail and a blue cloak. He is drawing his sword from its scabbard. Around them ash and fiery embers rise up from below, filling the sky above with thick smoke. The background of the image is the blurred photo of burning ash-caked embers.

The image shows the five book covers from the series. Top row, from left to right: The King's Blood shows a silver battle axe with a flaming red sunset behind it. The Dragon's Path shows an elaborate sword with a dragon hilt, with a field and cloudy blue sky behind it. There is a black gorge burnt through the field with red running through it like a river. On one side of the field are silhouettes of men on horses looking on. The Tyrant's Law shows a golden caldron decorated with dragons with billowing yellow flames rising up from it. The flames end in dragon heads, and the caldron is in what looks like the hall of a prison. Bottom row, from left to right: The Widow's House shows a silver shield decorated with a dragon, with blood splattered across it. Leaning against it is a silver spear, also decorated with a dragon. Behind them is a raging turquoise sea under cloudy skies. The Spider's War shows the sharp steeple of a tall building overlooking a city far below. The steeple is so tall there are clouds below it partially obscuring the city. The dark shape of a dragon flies through the clouds and in the far distance are mountains. The whole cover has a green tone to it. The background of the is a darkening cloudy sky. "The Dagger and the Coin" is written above the books and "A Fantasy-Faction Series Review" is written below them.

The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows a watercolor illustration of a shamrock-green spiral flowing through a night sky of golden stars. In and amongst the tiny stars are equally small magic and alchemical runes in the same golden color. Spread around the center of the spiral are various phases of the moon done in white. Some of the full moons have the silhouette of World War II era airplanes flying across them. Two red parachutes are seen from above drifting into the center of the spiral, a large one and a small (farther away) one. The smaller parachute is directly over the center of the spiral and there is a person dressed in a darker red hanging from it and about to descend into the full moon at the spiral's center. The background of the image is a starry sky with nebula's in a matching pale green.

The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows a cliff side topped by a crumbling castle. Climbing up the rocky face are two figures. One in a long brown coat with short brown hair and the other with long white hair, a bird mask, and two swords on their belt. The cliff "face" is actually shaped like the bird mask the second figure is wearing, with white hair framing the cliffs and a cavern at its center appearing to be a crying eye whose tears create a small waterfall. The background of the cover is a sunset starting with yellowy-orange, fading to pale yellow, and then into teal. The background of the image is the same sunset colors, but reversed with teal at the top and orange at the bottom.

Today @kitvaria.bsky.social reviews Benedict Jacka's An Instruction in Shadow! - JI 🐉 "If you like your magic systems meaty, your politics layered, and your heroes refreshingly short on cash, this series is worth your time." fantasy-faction.com/2026/an-inst... #booksky 💙📚🪐

The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows a red background with a muted sunburst design taking up the whole cover. Framing the edges and giving the center a diamond shape, are filigrees of golden, stylized leaves. At the top of the frame is a shield of gold with a red chevron and three keys. At the bottom is a crow with wings outspread. Amongst the rest of the design, and mirrored on each side are rubies, brown cats, silver daggers, and human femur bones. In the background, right above the crow, is the silhouette of the Tower Bridge in London. The background of the image is a blue sunburst, mirroring the book's cover.
