White Mountain

Carolina Rodriguez Fuenmayor illustrates her second book in Ruby Jean Cottle’s Black River duology, commissioned by Simon & Schuster through Atria Books.

There’s a restless feeling running through Carolina Fuenmayor’s new cover for the final instalment of the Black River duology.

Made for Atria Books ahead of the novel’s September 2026 release, the piece leans into the tension at the centre of the story: desire tangled up with fear, loyalty shadowed by secrecy.

This is vampire fiction at its most emotional -  the cover settles naturally into the darker, romantic tone that has shaped the books from the beginning.
