The cover for The First Year by Mazzy J. March shows a young woman with long black hair and wearing a tight red dress. She has a scar across her eye and fang marks on her neck. Behind her is a gothic-style building representing the Marked Blood Academy, with gates around it. There are wisps of red and gray around the edges of the cover.
