Cover

The cover displays Sophie and Silveny teleporting through the void, with four places surrounding them (clockwise, starting with top left): Havenfield, Eternalia, Foxfire, and Gildingham.[1]

The cover of Unlocked was designed by Karin Paproki and illustrated by Jason Chan. This is the first time that Sophie has been the sole Elvin character on the cover: Keeper of the Lost Cities had Dex, Exile had Keefe, Everblaze had Fitz, Neverseen had Biana and Keefe, Lodestar had Fitz and Tam, Nightfall had Keefe and Linh, Flashback had Tam and Wylie, and Legacy had Keefe and Fitz. Shannon Messenger states that the reason for this is because "Unlocked" is both a continuation of the main story from Legacy and a super-fun series guide."[1]

Another thing to note would be that Sophie is a bit younger than how she looks in the covers of Flashback and Legacy. According to Shannon Messenger's post, it is to symbolize her entire journey.[1]

Synopsis
