Illustrations

The world of Eden's Rise stretches deep beneath the mountains: vast underground halls lit by lantern light, crystal caverns shimmering in the dark, abandoned mining towns, and crowded alleys alive with trade and intrigue.

These illustrations, created by talented artists including Roberto F. Castro, Greg Rutkowski, Pascal Wijnberg, and Audrey Rouvin, bring that world to life. Each painting is paired with passages from the novel, offering a window into a civilization of stone, fire, and legend.
