The cover captures a striking close-up of a man and woman’s faces, framed against a dimly lit background as if they’re on the edge of a dark, quiet room. The lighting is soft yet dramatic, with warm amber tones that highlight their expressions, casting shadows that add depth and intensity.
The man’s face is half-turned toward the woman, his jaw clenched as if he’s caught between anger and longing. His eyes are partially hidden in shadow, hinting at unresolved tension, while a faint scar or wrinkle near his brow tells of past struggles and hidden wounds. His expression is haunted, a mixture of regret and restrained passion.
Beside him, the woman is positioned closer to the foreground, her face more fully lit, but her gaze is angled slightly downward. There’s a hint of a tear on her cheek, catching the light as if she’s just been through an intense moment. Her lips are parted, capturing the feeling of words left unsaid, secrets kept too long.
In the background, barely visible, is a subtle outline of an open window with city lights faintly glowing, giving a sense of distance and solitude in a bustling world. This faint cityscape suggests the high stakes of their choices, and the emptiness behind them symbolizes the emotional toll.
The title, "Fortnight," is placed in bold but understated letters near the bottom, a shadowy silver that mirrors the faint glints of city lights. A brief tagline below reads, "Two lives, one secret, and fourteen days to decide."
This cover balances intimacy with suspense, emphasizing the complex emotions and hidden history that lie between them, inviting readers into the raw and unresolved tension of their story.
