When AHARIC™ Publishing approached us with A. Alexander’s The Wanderers: Dark Age, we knew immediately this wasn’t just another fantasy novel—it was an epic waiting to be visually unleashed. So we set out to craft a cover that felt like an artifact unearthed from a forgotten timeline—a fusion of the ancient and the unknown. At the heart of the design is a battered medieval helmet, etched with age and weathered by time, but seamlessly fused with futuristic tech, hidden beneath centuries of rust and dust. It rests half-buried in alien soil, as if it’s been waiting for someone—or something—to find it again.

This striking visual captures the soul of the novel: a forgotten warrior age colliding with distant futures, myth woven into the fabric of science fiction. The contrast of old-world armor and strange, high-tech decay hints at a history far deeper than memory. Designing this cover was an exploration into the ruins of tomorrow, and the result is an adventurous invitation into Alexander’s richly layered universe.
