I like the cover overall. My design advice is worth what it costs, but I would try to differentiate the Cuthbert’s People: Book One text. Either small caps or a different font or a black banner (to match the black in the image) beneath it.

There is a lot of text and I would try to make the book series info appear separate from the title somehow. Even a line beneath it might work?

Hey, you asked.

I am looking forward to finally reading the first chapter.

Shifting the title block down and adding a little bar of the bottom image at the top might be cool also.

So something like this? (Grrr... can add images to comments apparently!) See link: https://gmbaker.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/WAG-Cover-v2.png

You could send another email this week with both covers and see which one readers like best.

I really like the picture in your cover, the metal design. It evokes the medieval times you are writing about.
