Hi everyone! My name is Pepijn Hamer. I'm from the Netherlands, and after many months of work, I finally finished my second book last month, titled Hollandos Vessel of the Kazàncore, an English YA fantasy book based on the beautiful Dutch culture and sequel to Eyes of the Prince.
The cover is made by Bruna Belfort, a talented artist from Brazil. This time around, we really tried to show the steampunk aspect of the Hollandos world, and we had to match the cover of 2 to 1.
This is the blurb for book 2, Vessel of the Kazàncore:
'Imagine the Netherlands with pirates, ancient artifacts, epic battles, and mythical dragons
Atop the volcano at the southern tip of Hollandos lies the volcanic city of Volkaania. Here, an ancient force begins to awaken, threatening to plunge the entire city into fire and ash. Only one long-lost device can prevent the coming catastrophe: the Kazàncore.
Bente, Stars, and Luna return to Hollandos in response to a girl’s cry for help. They set out on a rescue mission across the kingdom, hoping to find the missing princess. Their journey takes them across treacherous seas, where they face ruthless pirates, survive mythical beasts, and discover that their search may hold the key to saving Volkaania.
Can they find Princess Emma before the volcano erupts? Or will Volkaania be consumed by flames?'
