THE ROSE AND THE SWORD
The beautiful front cover art for The Rose and the Sword was created by Crossvalley Smith, Kreuztal/Germany (1953-2015). It is a photograph with special effects. While the rose was from a winter wonderland in his local forest, the background was his special kind of image design. The artist was known for his use of various motifs, which he altered so that they corresponded to his idea.
The mysterious winter forest photography on the back cover, in conjunction with the sword art, were made possible by Anja Osenberg (Aachen, Germany) and pixabay.com/en/users/209144-209144, respectively. The combination added a lovely dynamic that complemented the front.
