Cover Art Guesses

YES!

Time to guess the meaning of the cover art. I'm going to ignore certain things because the artist definitely has a style and you can check their work out at https://www.instagram.com/carloseqo/

Also please take everything I say with a grain of Salt - I like to have fun. And today that means finding references in a picture like its a Static Image in an English Final.

Firstly: Boy does Hunt look good. Thank Goodness The first book was red and we know that blue is the colour of the book and Hunt isn't actually blue and therefore I can admire the Art.

Does this meant the Third book is House of Shadow and Flame because surely is there was a Water book that one would be blue right? So we might also have our final book title.

Got some Thunder and Lightning vibes - mmmm storm god? I like that.

Wings! yes!

No more crown of thorns!

Look Closely At Hunt's Face... I'll get a close up for you....

We have some lovely cut outs in terms of flowers and carved porcelain style on his skin - but overall the artist also loves this in other images too - so there is a style there.

He appears to either have horns above each eyebrow, or if you look above the nose it could be a crown or moon.

The shape that isnt really repeated elsewhere in the cover except on the head below him where it looks like eyebrows - but these "horns" go in the opposite direction and they look like Horns.

It could also be a sideways crescent moon though.

The crown could have three points, as light is directly hitting the centre of his face its trick to see the central shape in the middle.

Those eyes? One Bright and the other dark? are these showing that Hunt has mixed ancestry and some hidden secret? It also matches Bryce on the HOEAB cover because she had one eye dark and one eye light. While Bryce's were the whites of the eyes that were dark and light Hunts is the iris.

Snake? Oh I guess that is some garden of Eden reference? (BUT also, please realise this artist loves snakes so It might just be a snake and same for the crescent in the heart of Hunt's chest.).

Don't talk to me about the Gold crescent whoever did the text overlay for the cover title cut the poor snake out badly out of the moon. Hopefully we can see the image in all its glory like the original CC:HOEAB cover image.

Wolf Sword perhaps? Is this a reference to Sabine? is this a reference to the wolf sword that had power that Danika wielded for the family in HOEAB? Or is this a reference to another mythical creature? I thought it was the wolf because we have wolves also surrounding him on the edges of the cover.

They appear to be baying and surrounding hunt.

They could also be a reference to other shapeshifters since it has been mentioned that there are more.

A little trickier to see but i'm sure people have already found is the Alicorn! A pegasus unicorn. Aka a reference to Jelly Jubilee (or to Alicorn's in general? maybe? can I get some please?).
