            The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.

            Keeley Agrinna:

            Former special forces turned schoolteacher turned resistance fighter, Keeley is the heart and soul of the fighters of the ACA.

            Also a natural diplomat who acts as the balance between Daedaric's idealism and Leric's cold pragmatism, and the one that makes their plans work.

            ratchman.com/characters/charac

            Image by dana_psd. Keeley is a woman in her mid-thirties with an expressive face that speaks of an inner sorrow and also an iron resolve. She is someone capable of both great joy and volatile contempt, but she has learned to compartmentalize, and saves her hate for battle, and love for her contemporaries. Here, she is wearing light casual attire, baggy enough to hide weaponry, and yet practical enough to allow her mobility in a firefight. She is also holding an assault rifle in her left hand, holding it close, pointing upwards.

                                Respects Daedaric enormously, but they do butt heads frequently as Leric is more accepting of the moral grey area.

                                Smarter than his burly frame might suggest, and gifted with a superlative tactical mindset.

                                                        (Left) The cover of Stone Prophet, by Owen Tyme. At the center is a hexagonal coin with a golden appearance,. That bears a watercolor painting of a woman's face, which drips paint as if it were fresh. Following the edges of the coin, the background is divided by a spiral of black lines into six images representing vital pieces of the titular stone prophet. Upper right is an attractive woman with blue eyes and blond hair that's almost white. She stands in place of Memory. Right is an eye with a blue iris surrounded by blue skin and golden decorations, representing Vision. Lower right is a hooded woman in darkness, partially illuminated by a purple triangle that magically restrains her. She is Skill. Lower left is a heart made of and resting in blue sand, with yellow light inside. That shines through cracks, hinting at fragility. This is Emotion. Left is a gray sphere covered in black zeros and ones. More zeros and ones lay over the top, in blurred white. This is Reason. Upper Left is a brass statue of justice, wearing a robe and blindfold. She holds a sword and scales. Behind her are the stars of space. This is Heart. (Right) The same attractive woman from the upper right section of the cover, looking right at the viewer. The following quote frames her face, above and below: “Does the Leader make the hard choices, or do the hard choices make the Leader?” “Will she do what must be done, for the good of all?” (Bottom) https://books2read.com/StoneProphet
