Contest Time! 🎉

Win 1 of 5 signed copies of Beyond the Mark!
Guess a number in the comments (1-10,000) and repost this. The first 5 to guess correctly win! Don't miss your chance to own and support! ❤️

#Giveaway #DarkFantasy
#Booksky #Fantasy #indie

I hate to say this, but 1 guess each!
stylized cover art for the book titled "Beyond the Mark: Ashes of the Hero," featuring a silhouette of a cloaked figure in a dark, magical forest. The figure, shrouded in shadow, is holding a glowing sword with a vibrant red hue. Intricate patterns adorn the figure's cloak, evoking a sense of mystery and fantasy. The background showcases an eerie forest with bare, twisted trees and ethereal lights, creating a mystical and foreboding atmosphere. In the distance, a castle with spires looms against a pale, glowing sky, adding a sense of adventure and danger to the scene. The title is prominently displayed at the top in bold, stylized lettering, with a vivid gradient effect that contrasts with the darker tones of the artwork. The overall composition conveys themes of heroism, darkness, and a journey into the unknown
