Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Finding the Fleet - Lite Challenge entry in March/April 2017 Design a Book Cover Lite Challenge
I am not an expert on cover art, but this looks very good. I think the text could possibly be improved, but I am not sure what it needs (if indeed it does need anything). How many books are planned for your Chronicles?
I think my tastes have changed somewhat since I did this one, but there are some parts I would keep - the feather is a symbol common to all 5 parts. Most of the protagonists are 'werehawks' - shape-shifting man-hawks.
