This is Koltja, widely known as the goddess of darkness and trickery.

She is associated with smoke, misdirection, and appearing where she shouldn’t be.

Stories describe her as a manipulator rather than a chaotic trickster, a figure who prefers half-truths, silences, and carefully chosen moments over outright lies.

Koltja is often depicted at thresholds and crossroads, offering guidance that feels helpful right up until her true intent is revealed.

For a change of pace, I decided to step away from my usual stuff and experiment with a different style. This piece is just a fun little exploration of softer shapes, and pastel colors, centered around a cute trans pride skull and crossbones.

No lore, no worldbuilding, just me playing around and letting myself enjoy the process. Sometimes it’s nice to make art that exists purely because I felt like making it. Designed in Adobe Photoshop.

The Completely Boring Reason I Revamped My Character Art

The Completely Boring Reason I Revamped My Character Art

Elthar is a veteran runecaster and battlefield commander who once served the New Voluskar Order as a Fifth Order Gothi. He believed in reform. He believed faith could be bent toward justice. Turns out corruption doesn’t like being corrected, so it sent him to die instead.

Now he lives as a recluse, carrying old scars, older guilt, and a staff that has seen far too much blood. He is not gentle, but he is deeply principled. He does not seek redemption, only truth and the protection of those the Order would rather erase.

His magic is controlled, deliberate, and terrifying when provoked. He does not posture. He does not preach. When Elthar stands his ground, things tend to break around him.

Gruff mentor. Disillusioned priest. Walking indictment of theocracy.

You know. Just a normal guy with religious trauma and magic.

What do you think this book is about based ONLY on the cover?

I’ve dropped the product-page link for Fractured Rune so many times that I’ve memorized it. My ADHD brain was like “fine, I’ll store that but not where you left your keys. Sorry, not sorry.”

Anyway, here you go:

I finally finished the cover for Koltja’s Shadow, Book Two of The Aeldstorm Saga, and I am so in love with how it turned out.

I normally spend weeks struggling through cover drafts and palette experiments, but this time everything just snapped into place. One idea, three days of work, and the design basically built itself.

This book gets darker, stranger, and more mythic. The cracked stained glass symbolizes what is happening in the world, Koltja looms as the cosmic force she is, and Silfra stands stronger than ever, flame in hand and very finished with everyone’s nonsense.

If you have not started the series, Book One, Fractured Rune, is up for preorder now and releases on January 20, 2026.

When Your Universe Name Needs Subtitles (And Your Book Needs Scissors)

So. Remember last week when I posted asking what everyone thought about “Himingrath” as a universe name? Well, it looks like the general consensus is that Himingrath is… a mouthful. Which is kind of what I was worried about, but I was also in love with the meaning behind it and thought maybe I could make it work through sheer determination. Turns out: I cannot. The feedback… Well, let’s just call…

Silfra discovers that escaping her past isn’t enough, she must confront it, even if it breaks her along the way. https://danielawolfe.com/characters_aeld/

Me as a writer, trying to explain how Fractured Rune connects to Norse mythology, but I can’t because… massive spoilers. 😭
