Shoe Quest

Victoria Fomina creates a painterly cover for Goth the Wanderer, where a lost shoe and lively allies spark an off-beat adventure.

For the latest book in the Wanderers series, Victoria's cover anchors the story’s eccentric journey: Goth Kurgus, plucky daughter of a miller and exiled princess, hurtles toward her missing shoe and the peculiar company she finds along the way.

The design leans into otherworldly architecture and curious angles, mirroring the book’s whimsical blend of humour and adventure. Goth’s entourage; a chatty wolf, a ghost girl, an assertive candle, and a Very Large Mouse who insists he isn’t a rat, gathers around her, each silhouette balancing light against deep shadow.
