Fantasy map commission for Alida Miranda-Wolff
I received a fantastic fantasy map commission from author Alida Miranda-Wolff for her novel A Raven in the Storm. Alida was awesome to work with, you can always tell from the result. A great client always means superior artwork! As a book cover artist, and a fantasy map artist, it’s great seeing all the pieces come together. Alida worked with several artists and graphic designers on her book, it I have to say it’s shaping up to be a really gorgeous product.

Her writing has appeared in Salon, Writer’s Digest, Books by Women, and Hippocampus. A diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging practitioner and worker’s rights activist, Alida also hosts Care Work, a podcast about what it means to offer care for a living. She received the University of Chicago’s Early Career Achievement Award in 2021 and holds a degree in creative writing from the same institution. She lives in Chicago with her husband, their threenager, and a literal animal menagerie.
A Raven in the Storm
The natural world is unraveling as the tyrant king of Tellus drains the Earth Mother’s magic for his own political gain.
Lady Lyanna Tempestas is fated to rule the Stormlands—until the night she commits a desperate act of violence, only to discover the half-eaten Earth Mother. Vowing to stop the king, no matter the cost, Lyanna takes refuge in the Sunlands, the kingdom’s most prosperous court.
Under the protection of the powerful Coronis family, Lyanna secretly works with the Resistance to overthrow the king. As she grows closer to the scholarly and vengeful Cassius Coronis—rumored to wield blood magic—Lyanna is drawn into a tangled web of revolution, divine power, and forbidden love. To save a dying world, she must decide how much of herself she’s willing to sacrifice.
A Raven in the Storm is an epic fantasy debut featuring a complex magic system, a sharp-minded and emotionally-scarred heroine, and a slow-burn romance set against ecological collapse and class revolution.
Need a fantasy map artist?
Looking for a fantasy map commission? A custom map isn’t just a pretty extra—it’s a powerful storytelling tool. A well-designed map helps readers and players actually see your world, making it easier to follow journeys, kingdoms, and key locations. For authors, it adds a layer of immersion that makes your book feel richer and more professional. For game masters, it gives players a sense of place and sparks ideas for new adventures. I create maps tailored to your world’s unique details—whether you’ve got a fully planned continent or just a rough sketch of a few towns and forests, I’ll work with you to turn it into something beautiful and usable. Perfect for novels, RPG campaigns, or even as a stunning art piece to display.
Why Fantasy Maps make novels more immersive…
Fantasy maps are like a sneak peek into another world before you even start reading. They pull you right in, letting you wander through mountains, forests, and mysterious places that spark your imagination. You can almost feel the adventure waiting as you trace the paths and wonder what stories lie behind each name on the map. It’s a fun way to start exploring the world before the first chapter even begins.
As a fantasy map artist, I love how maps tell their own kind of story. Every coastline, mountain range, or little village helps show how the world works and what makes it unique. Seeing where things are gives the story more weight you can picture the journeys, the distances, the danger beyond the borders. A map makes the world feel real, like a place you could actually step into, and that’s what makes it so exciting.
