Books with honest titles(see video link for full sketch)

What would your book be titled?

My WIP would be: A Dark and Stormy Night when a Lady Burglar and a Miller's Daughter's Fall in Love and Bury Several White Men Who Was Mildly Inconvenient to Their Existence

Are you looking for your next fantasy read? Do you love queernormative settings, rich worldbuilding, and corrupted magic? Well look no further my friend! My debut novel Songs of Broken Bells was published today!

Find it here⬇️
lillylockwood.carrd.co#songsofbroke...
The softcover of Songs of Broken Bells displayed on a wooden counter with bells on gold and white ribbon hanging to the left of it. Text at the top says “Available now!” Text surrounding the book says “meddling saints, corrupted magic, queernormative setting, the real adventure was the therapy we got along the way, found family, F/F and M/NB romances, paying the price” Text at the bottom of the picture “50% of revenue Oct 17-24 will be donated to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund” Cover description: It features the four main characters arranged in a diamond formation, a stained glass design at the top with a sun on one side and shadows on the other, and a string of cracked bells on the sides. Liadan is at the bottom, holding up a candle. She has orange skin, silver hair, black rams horns, and black markings on her arms. She's wearing a green cloak and a yellow dress. Vasil is to her left. He is also holding a candle. Vasil has brown skin with a bark-like texture with patches of paler skin and moss. His hair is brown and curly. He is wearing a green caftan with yellow filigree. Minno is on the right, also holding a candle. They have pale skin, blonde hair with braided sideburns, and round framed glasses. They are wearing a white shirt with part of their kilt (in a brown and blue tartan) draped over one shoulder. Aila is behind the other three characters with her wings wrapped around them. She has pink skin, magenta hair styled in pigtail braids, and small pointed horns. She has a red scarf. Cover art by heavenlystarr (Yune)

You have no idea how proud I am that I convinced my musical-hating friend to watch Wicked, and now they're singing some of the songs and are a gelphie truther.

I'm more proud of this than my bachelor's degree LMFAOOO

Original character design — a battle-hardened warrior forged in brutality and myths.
I created his armor, weapon motifs and overall aesthetic from scratch, mixing barbarian and fantasy elements.
