Welcome to a new cover reveal!

Today we have the pleasure of help to reveal the cover of Reflections of Lilje Damselfly, a cosy historical fantasy short novel, written by Natalie Kelda.

Let's take a look at the blurb:

When a mysterious ailment refuses to leave water nymph Lilje, her father sends her to a human spa retreat. Lilje quickly discovers she has a lot to learn about human nature and culture when she scandalises the Edwardian spa guests by showing up undressed.

In hope of relieving her chronic pain and fatigue, she tries her best to fit in and silence her ability to speak with the elements, plants, and animals around her. But when the secret of her heritage is revealed and Lilje falls in love with a human, she faces a difficult choice. Give up everything she thought she was or live forever in pain and regret of what could have been.

Reflections of Lilje Damselfly is a short standalone novel set in a magical version of early 20th century England.

Reflections of Lilje Damselfly will be released the June 23rd 2025.
