Rainshadow Orphans

Weston was tasked with capturing the enchanting yet high‑tech spirit of The Rainshadow Orphans, the first novel in Naomi Ishiguro’s fantasy trilogy.

Set across a mythical archipelago teeming with dragons, Sun Spirits, and bubble‑tea hackers, the cover fuses folkloric motifs with a modern, cinematic energy, creating a visual narrative that draws readers into the story at a glance.

Designed for the U.S.-based publisher Simon & Schuster under their Saga Press imprint, Weston’s illustration balances whimsy and intensity, perfectly complementing the novel’s adventurous and imaginative tone.
