Rose #9

Meredith Finch and Ig Guara's fantasy series reaches its ninth chapter with a cover that quietly crackles with tension: a red-haired young woman in white reaches toward an ornate, glowing mirror, her hands nearly touching those of a dark-skinned woman in blue on the other side — two figures separated by something that looks far more mysterious than glass. Red roses, a scattered skull, and softly radiant archwork frame the moment, hinting at a world where the boundary between one realm and another is dangerously thin.
