The Razing of New MorrinRay" - The Visual Inspiration that inspired Fate of The Gifted's cover art.

I created these pictures with Dreame App AI & Wonder App AI, to create inspirational images, for some of the major scenes in my story.

I in FATE OF THE GIFTED, Kai escapes by rowboat from the poison filled water surrounding New MorrinRay, as the last house in town burns to the ground. I particularly love these images with the Great of the Moon! This pivotal scene, inspired the cover art for FATE OF THE GIFTED!

Beyond her shoulder Kai saw red glowing embers across the dock, and the last house at the end of the walk crumbling under a furious red flame: The Jonek's house. No pale, beady-eyed Elvin men stood near the flames. They withdrew into the ashes of New MorrinRay.

Soon it would be gone. It would be a wasteland of ash with hardly a trace of civilization. The burnt remains and rock would stand a bleaker wasteland than the ruins of Old MorrinRay Bay. At sunrise the moss and vine covered buildings of Old, would appear to have had life more recently, and New MorrinRay would be completely erased from ever having been on the map.

Kai sighed with a heavy heart and went back to rowing steadily. The water was frigid to the skin, and the air was heavy with moisture, turning the air around them into a dark crystal ice fog. The bright stars gradually faded from sight…
