Over Pearly Lakes and Pine Trees Dressed in White

My final piece for my A-level art project — an altered book based on The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon.

The alteration uses a key passage in the middle of the book in which the main characters make an epic journey across wild landscapes as they prepare for the ultimate challenge — to defeat the great foe, The Nameless One, and save the world.
