A cake decorated like a mossy tree stump with chocolate bark, mango shelf mushrooms, and mushroom cookies on top.
A half-dragon woman crouches on one knee and is mostly in shadow. The part of her body in light appears human while the rest of her is a silhouette of scales, horns, and wings with silver smoke rising off of her. In front of her is the book title, "The Viridian Dream"

A muscular half-dragon girl with silver horns and scales stands with her arms folded and looks back over her shoulder at a much smaller effeminate half-dragon boy with curly red hair and leafy green wings who is hugging her from behind.
A person with rainbow-colored hair. Their face is hidden, but their hair starts with yellow at the roots, fades to pink and red, and then to indigo and shades of green and teal.
Four cats on a cat tower. At the bottom is a light-colored torti with a bonnet snoozing in a box. Above her is an orange torti wearing a fancy bib. Above her is a tuxedo cat in a vest and bow tie looking up at the cat at the top wearing a top hat and trying to grab the tuxedo cat.
The text reads: "Quizzy did not like that. Death sucked. The world had too much death these days. Humans died. Dragons died. Nature had died. Even cultures were dying, and some knowledge was on death’s door. She did not know what kind of door death had, but she heard the phrase enough to figure it was a large door that was too easy to open from one side and terribly hard to open from the other. …But not impossible. However, did what came back out of that door even count as alive anymore? She thought so. Others, not so much."
A femme-presenting person in a flowy, wine-colored dress stands in the middle of a colorful, enchanted forest. They wear a flower crown and hold a bouquet.
Rowan Spicer and Nova the Tempest stand in a lush field. Wind blows around them, scattering flower petals and leaves in the air. A healthy forest can be seen behind them with a storm overhead and lightning flashing across the sky. Rowan and Nova are facing each other, holding hands. Nova towers over Rowan and is in her half-dragon form with horns, scales, gargoyle wings, and a tail, while Rowan's eyes glow green as does a mark on his right arm. He has tiny horns sticking up past his curls.
An excerpt from The Bottled Tempest manuscript that reads: Rime’s voice interrupted Sorrel’s thoughts. “We are approaching the gate! Do not be alarmed if you feel a strange sensation!” “What gate—” Before her father could finish his question, they passed through a pocket of air that flashed brightly in transparent gold. The magic left a residue on Sorrel’s skin that she could only describe as ‘fuzzy’. She swallowed, tasting something sharp on the back of her tongue although it faded moments later. “What was that?” Major Baldry called out from the back. “Some sort of barrier?” Rime flew up beside them and grinned, pointing ahead with a clawed finger. “Yes! Look. We have arrived.” As Sorrel looked past Nova’s shoulder, she heard her father utter behind her, “I’ll be damned.” The clouds thinned as their destination came into view in a splash of colors hovering over the deep blue sea. Sorrel’s mouth fell open as her gaze landed on a ring of five islands suspended in the air. Behind her, she heard Major Baldry say, “Well, there’s why no one’s ever found this place.”
A femme-presenting non-binary person (Leah Frog) with yellow and green hair holds up their book titled "The Viridian Dream" to the camera. The person wears a cardigan and has a tattoo below the collarbone of a snail with a skull shell.
Two half-dragons under a starry night at dusk. One stands with a black dress and storm gray wings, her scales silver, and her body well muscled. She cups the chin of the other half-dragon, who sits on a giant pumpkin. He is feminine and petite, with leafy, green wings, and a curly tail. He wears green robes and has curly hair. They look happy.
A half-dragon woman stands facing away, her hands on her head and holding her long, black hair that goes down past her thighs. She's wearing a silver wrap around her waist and has silver scales on her thighs, hips, and biceps. She has a crown of silver horns and a silver tail.
Nova the Tempest stands with her back to the viewer, showing off her tattered wings and silver scales. Rowan Spicer is in her arms, his arms wrapped around her neck and Nova's tail tucked under his legs. Rowan has green wings and horns with yellow flowers and looks sleepy. The image demonstrates their size difference, with Rowan being tiny compared to Nova's more muscular form. It's nighttime, but there's enough light to see the trees behind them, the fog coming off Nova's wings, and fireflies.
Nova the Tempest stands against a railing wearing a figure skating uniform that is open in the back and bares her legs. Rowan leans over the railing from the other side wearing a sleeveless tank top and a checkered jacket falling off of his shoulders. He's wearing flower earrings and a necklace with the Silver clan's symbol, and they're both gazing into each other's eyes. The background is filled with bright spotlights and neon colors.
Rowan Spicer is lying on his side, smiling up at Nova the Tempest who is leaning over his head to smile back. Nova is in her half-dragon form, and Rowan looks mostly human with green claws and faint streaks of green in his hair.
An excerpt from The Bottled Tempest: “Found you,” Quizzy whispered fondly, golden light popping on her fingers as she reached up to undo the barrier around the pedestal. It collapsed like the one at the door, no match for her skills, crumpling to the floor in fragments of golden light. With a little, pleased smile, Quizzy stepped up and pulled the diadem off of the pedestal. The room started screaming. Quizzy also started screaming. She whipped her head up, nearly dropping her bounty as orbs of arcane light appeared and targeted her, chasing her through the room. “Traps! Quizzy forgot about traps!” she shouted, running towards the vault’s exit. The orbs chased her, weaving around all of the other artifacts with considerable speed. They gained on her, closing the distance far too quickly. Quizzy inhaled, recognizing she was about to get hit, and braced herself for impact.
The opening of The Viridian Dream, Chapter 3: The Message. The image shows Nova the Tempest stabbing her sword of lightning through a dragon. Smoke billows around her and magic fire burns from her head and shoulders. Her face is solemn, implying she doesn't enjoy what she's doing. The opening paragraph of the chapter reads: "The western border of Bascor had been a battlefront for longer than Nova's eighteen years alive. The towns that once lined this edge of the country were now either military outposts or abandoned ruins, and nothing in between. The smell of decay and death lingered deep in the earth and..."
Rowan Spicer and Nova the Tempest take a nap during a lazy afternoon. Nova lies on her back with an arm tucked under her head, and Rowan sleeps on top of her, his head on her chest. They're both in half-dragon form and surrounded by mist and plants (representations of their magic.)
Art from Chapter 12 of The Viridian Dream. Nova the Tempest looks at Rowan Spicer, who wears her cloak although it's too big for him. He's smiling at her. They stand before a river and the land around them is barren and dismal.
A map of the eastern side of the Reprised Shores, centered on the country of Bascor.
Rowan Spicer sits with Nova the Tempest’s head in his lap, his hand on her back comfortingly. She is crying and holding her sword that is pointed at his neck. Everything is in shadow except for a light shining down on Rowan who smiles at Nova kindly.
The beginning of The Viridian Dream, Chapter 1. "The sound of footsteps moving through leaves and underbrush felt far too loud, like uncomfortable whispers of gossipers upon entering the room. Each crack of a twig was an accusation, and each rustle of grass comparable to judgemental eyes from corners of the forest."

Rowan Spicer sits on top of a very large pumpkin, wearing green robes. His dragon wings and tail are fanned out behind him. Nova the Tempest stands before him, her hand cupping his jaw. She's wearing a black dress with a slit up the side. Her wings are folded behind her and she has silver scales and horns. The sun sets in the background, casting them both in an orange glow.
A compilation of Izuku Midoriya and Ochako Uraraka as half-dragons. In the first picture, Ochako princess carries Izuku in her arms as they stand atop a tree. Ochako has silver horns, scales, and a white dress. Izuku has branch-like horns and green claws, as well as a ponytail. In the second picture, Izuku cups Ochako's cheeks and heals her with magic. She says "I would move mountains for you" and he replies "How about just resting so I can heal you." In the last picture, they hold hands and gaze into each other's eyes.

Izuku is nuzzling Ochako's hair.
