#PosterPit

A movie poster for Julianne's upper YA romantasy novel, THE BOG PRINCE. The image combines two dark, moody oil paintings, depicting hands lowering a crown onto a skull. The text reads: The Bog Prince. Upper YA/Crossover, Dark Academia, Gothic Romantasy. There are two quotes: "I will be thinking about this book and your gorgeous writing for a long time" and "Noooo stop r u kidding meeeee no nononono", both above 5 star ratings. The tag at the bottom reads, "Maybe some secrets are better left buried..." and the text underneath says: When a necromancer at a ruthless magic school reanimates the bog-preserved body of her kingdom's long-lost prince, the two must work together to hide her forbidden power and solve his centuries-old murder before the college closes in and executes them both.
