Image is a collage with text tape over the top The text reads 'The Haunted Treasure of Mecury's Desire' and has nine images The images are: a pile of gold coins, a compass over a map, a wooden sailing ship coming out of the fog, a small lantern glowing in front of water, a skull and crossbones flag, a wrought iron candlestick and binoculars on a table, another wooden sailing ship sailing on the ocean, a black and white map showing the Caribbean, a treasure chest filled with gold and jewels

an orange/red background with glowing yellow text that reads TOMORROW above the cover for child of the dragon (A cover with fire on the left edges and ice on the right edges centering around a girl in shorts and a tank top, raising a sword high and summoning lightning in front of a massive purple-y european dragon inside some sort of arena. The title: Child of the Dragon is written across the center in a curly, silver font, and the author name is in a smaller version of the same and says Ashley N.Y. Sheesley) The quote from the book reads "see you tomorrow then?"

an orange/red background with text that weaves around a little dragon and author photos of Ashley N.Y. Sheesley (a dark haired woman holding a sword and sitting on a rock), and Harper Kinsley (A woman with dark blonde hair posing behind a stack of books). The text reads: Celebrating the launch of Child of the Dragon Join us for a virtual party March 10 at 6PM MDT Come for games, giveaways, Q&A, and more!

Oh my gosh, thank you for including Child of the Dragon! Just to clarify to avoid confusion, Kat is demiromantic and ace, not sapphic, I’m so sorry 😭 the whole cast is queer and there are some side characters who are definitely sapphic but not the main relationship!

A purple background with the cover for child of the dragon cropped into the shape of a 2 so it reads 2 days. There is a quote from the book beneath it that reads: I laughed, but when he didn’t join me, I froze. “You’re serious? She’s been a full-fledged Rhaegynne for two days, and you already got her into a fight?”

A purple background behind the cover for Child of the Dragon (A cover with fire on the left edges and ice on the right edges centering around a girl in shorts and a tank top, raising a sword high and summoning lightning in front of a massive purple-y european dragon inside some sort of arena. The title: Child of the Dragon is written across the center in a curly, silver font, and the author name is in a smaller version of the same and says Ashley N.Y. Sheesley) at the center with arrows pointing to the book. each arrow has a little trope next to it. The arrows read: shape-shifting dragons / forehead kisses / a bunch of self-sacrificing losers / swords, sorcery, & high school / ancient curse. modern setting / angst / characters with more sass than self-preservation / queer & disability rep / dead chosen one

a purple background with the cover for child of the dragon shown on a tablet, smartphone, and paperback above a yellow bar that reads Preorder Now. the text across the bottom says eBook paperback book box* *Book box exclusively from Inked in Gray Press, ebook and paperback where ever books are sold
