A single, photorealistic hardcover book floating slightly above a reflective black surface in a dark studio, the cover artwork dominated by a luminous phoenix emerging from swirling ash and smoke. Tendrils of glowing ember-red and gold energy spiral outward from the bird, fading into deep indigo and black at the edges. A subtle halo of cool backlight outlines the book’s silhouette, while a focused spotlight from above creates dramatic highlights and shadows. The reflection below is slightly blurred, hinting at duality and transformation. Captured straight-on with centered composition and ample negative space, the mood is intense, mysterious, and powerful—ideal for a primary book feature on a professional author site.

A photorealistic scene of a single book standing upright at the edge of a vast city skyline at dawn, its cover dominated by an intricate, fiery phoenix silhouette rising from shadow into light. The skyline below is softly blurred, bathed in pale blue and peach morning hues, while the horizon glows with the first rays of sunrise. The book’s spine casts a long, sharp shadow across a smooth stone ledge, emphasizing its importance. Gentle rim lighting around the phoenix emblem creates a sense of renewal and hope. Captured at eye level with a wide aperture, the mood is inspiring, cinematic, and perfectly suited for a professional author’s homepage hero image.
