Unveiling the Secrets of The Red Palace

Carolina was commissioned by Headline Books, under their Wildfire imprint, to reimagine the cover for the latest edition of The Red Palace by New York Times bestselling author June Hur.

Released earlier this year, this richly atmospheric YA mystery is set in 18th-century Joseon, Korea, where a palace nurse is drawn into a brutal murder investigation that threatens to expose secrets at the highest level of the royal court. Carolina's cover art blends historical gravitas with contemporary visual drama - perfectly reflecting the novel’s blend of intrigue, tension and emotional depth.

Her intricate, character-focused illustration draws readers into a world where nothing is as it seems, setting the tone for this gripping, blood-stained journey through palace politics.
