The second book cover illustration I did for the wonderful Jo Havens, and her new book „Once in Berlin“. It was a real joy to collaborate with her and I am very pleased with how the illustration turned out.

The book itself is a thrilling sapphic history adventure, which is best described by the following snippet:

„𝘖𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘢𝘳, 𝘢 𝘴𝘱𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵.
