Epic fantasy book cover, portrait orientation 1600x2400. A 14-year-old boy named Josh sits in the massive clawed hand of a stone gargoyle. The gargoyle's hand is enormous, rough, grey stone with sharp curved claws. Josh is wearing a red t-shirt with a small snarky text on it that reads "Not My Problem", blue jeans, and Nike sneakers. He has dark hair and an intense, determined expression. An explosive burst of raw power shoots from both of his outstretched hands — brilliant white and blue lightning streams blasting outward with tremendous force, so powerful that rocks and debris are blasted away and rain down around them. The sky behind is dark and dramatic with storm clouds. Large stone chunks and rubble fly through the air. The scene feels explosive and cinematic. At the top in large stone-carved fantasy adventure font: "JOSH ANVIL AND THE PIVOTAL WEAPON". Below the title in a glowing blue neon-style font: "JOSH ANVIL SERIES BOOK TWO". At the bottom in a classic serif font: "BRUCE E. ARRINGTON". The author name should have generous padding from the bottom edge. Overall style: dramatic illustrated book cover art, vivid colors, high contrast.

The Story

It’s a fast, funny, heartfelt ride through the ever-expanding lore of the Josh Anvil universe.
