I can confirm that it is gorgeous on the shelf! Or, on a pile of books lovingly stacked throughout your house...

I think Shiver Me would look great on your shelves!

Paperbacks: Amazon for cheapest
PB&HB: indie bookstore of you choice (hardcover is soo pretty)
Ebook: books2read.com/u/3LMzk0
A graphic with a black background and green lines. In the center I’ve photoshopped a paperback and hardback copy of shiver me onto a “shelf” where I’ve draw other pirate books in to be its companion! Hunt on Dark Waters, to ravish a rogue, the adventures of Amina Al-sirafi, the ever king, Frenchman’s creek, the count of Monte Cristo, destiny’s captive, and the mermaid the witch and the sea. Beneath the fake book shelf are the words “imagine Shiver Me on your shelves!” In green and light light blue

@amandamaclaren.bsky.social made me the most luxurious and beautiful portrait of my pirate captain & governess! Here’s a taste!

A sfw (expanded) crop is available on the free tier and the WHOLE exquisite NSFW is on the feasting tier— go get them at patreon.com/byvermillion
A crop of a larger piece with a background of shimmering sea and a woman’s head and hand showcased, she’s a brunette with light white skin and red nails, delicately holding a hairpin, her eyes are closed. Another crop of the same image with a man with luxurious gold hair and tan skin turning off to the side of the image, the woman’s hand from before with the red nails clutched about his neck. A third crop of a hand near an ass with a bit of rope and gold framing it. Water patterns are reflected up onto it!

Did I show you the full jacket art by @camillekolo.bsky.social yet?

I guess I should because Shiver Me is coming out next week!

Get ready for a daring pirate romance with a little bit of magic!

A full book cover layout with the left hand side as the back cover and the right hand side as the front cover. All swirling greens and blues and otherworldliness, while the front cover reads Shiver Me by Vermillion, and this is mirrored on the spine. There is also the quote “drowning is only the beginning…” on the front and a tiny version of my logo in black on the spine. On the back cover, an anchor stands out at the bottom of the sea and a strange scaled tail twists up behind it. Is that… a hand?
