Below you'll find illustrations I completed of some of the characters from AJ Cooper's The Dark One's Hand - the first in a series of 9 books taking place in the fantasy world of Varda.

"When a boy of uncertain parentage journeys through a world of imperial power, fantastic wonders and an ancient evil reawakened, he faces stakes higher than he can imagine: is he the Dark One’s Hand, the prophetic figure generations have feared, or the long-awaited hero promised to defeat him?" - a summary by AJ Cooper
