Welcome to the last day of the Amber & Dusk Blog Tour hosted by Flying Book Club. If you have missed any of the previous tour stops, you can see all the lovely reviews and spotlight posts here. Today, I'm sharing with you a book aesthetic created by me (I was inspired by Amber & Dusk's beautiful cover) and you there's a Giveaway at the bottom of the post (sorry, it's US only).

Sylvie has always known
she deserves more. Out in the permanent twilight of the Dusklands, her
guardians called her power to create illusions a curse. But Sylvie knows
it gives her a place in Coeur d'Or, the palais of the Amber Empress and
her highborn legacies.
So Sylvie sets off toward the Amber City, a glittering jewel under a sun that never sets, to take what is hers.
But her hope for a better life is quickly dimmed. The empress invites her in only as part of a wicked wager among her powerful courtiers. Sylvie must assume a new name, Mirage, and begin to navigate secretive social circles and deadly games of intrigue in order to claim her spot. Soon it becomes apparent that nothing is as it appears and no one, including her cruel yet captivating sponsor, Sunder, will answer her questions. As Mirage strives to assume what should be her rightful place, she'll have to consider whether it is worth the price she must pay.

Amber & Dusk Book Aesthetic
This is my second time
making a book aesthetic, but I can tell you that it's so much fun creating an
aesthetic for a book. I didn't have the opportunity to read Amber and Dusk, but
I was inspired by the book cover and tried for this aesthetic to mirror the settings - the Dusklands and the Amber
City - which I'm dying to learn all about. Can you imagine how beautiful is a city where it's always twilight? The dusk sky is gorgeous.

About the Author
Lyra Selene was born
under a full moon and has never quite managed to wipe the moonlight out
of her eyes. When she isn’t dreaming up fantastical cities and brooding
landscapes, Lyra enjoys hiking, rainstorms, autumn, and pretending she’s
any good at painting. She lives in New England with her
husband, in an antique farmhouse that’s probably not haunted. AMBER
& DUSK is her debut novel.
