Dilwen: A Senior Narrative Book Jacket by Isabel Guerrero-Lubarksy (2016)

My book jacket is based off of my short story ''Dilwen''. It takes place in a historical fiction location of Flint. It includes pieces of celtic mythology and other points in mythology, such as deities, fairies and other mythological creatures. Dilwen and her siblings have been left here after everyone else in the world had died due to a flood. The Gods had saved these four siblings, however everyone, except Dilwen, had no memory of the life they had lived before. The story begins with Dilwen having a dream about her mother trying to protect her. All her sibling are there except her brother Bleddyn. Dilwen is awakened by a fairy and it leads her to the''Dark Forest''. When Dilwen arrives, she overhears a conversation with the gods about what they want to do with the her and her siblings. They have to atone for her parents sins. As they are talking they discover her.They tell her that her parents attempted to achieve immortality, but failed. This resulted in a curse on her and her siblings tying them by the Thread of Fate. When they drink from the River of Abnoba the cuse will be lifted. Dilwen travels back home, there her brother Bleddyn spills their water prompting them to travel to the water hole. However, once they arrive they realize that it's been dried out. They decide to go up the dried up river to try to find another. Suddenly her sister, Branwen, is attacked by a swarm of crows. Dilwen lunges at them and they disperse. Cadwgan, the eldest brother, realizes that Bleddyn is missing. The God, Dagda, appears and tells them there is a curse on Bleddyn and if they see him, avoid him because he will be a different person. They continue up the river and standing in front of the River of Abnoba is Bleddyn and the Witch Cerridwen. She orders Bleddyn to attack his siblings. Branwen goes to Bleddyn and tries to hug him, but instead Bleddyn stabs her. Cadwgan attempts to resuscitate Bleddyn as he calls out to Dilwen to come help. Dilwen turns away and instead she goes into the water and takes a drink. Then she takes a sharp rock and cuts the thread tying her to her siblings. This results in Dilwen achieving immortality and becoming the God of Sight.
