When partnering with my cover designer I wanted to go for a clean cover that grabbed the potential reader's attention. The flowers actually do represent something in the story! It's also a nod to the Garden of Eden and it's beauty. But the flowers are very significant.

I had figured based on the title they might represent the Garden of Eden, but that's cool that they also have meaning in the book too.
Best of luck to you!

My name is Brandon Goode and I'm new to the group! I'm very excited because my debut novel, THE SECRETS OF EDEN is being released on March 18! It is a YA Fantasy novel with LGBT, magic, and mystery themes. Pre-ordering is now live for Kindle users, and for those who want paperback you can purchase it on March 18. Feel free to check out my goodreads page for it, and you can also search for it on Amazon!
When Eden discovers he possesses forbidden magic, keeping his affair with the crown prince a secret becomes the least of his worries.
Eden has always obeyed the laws of Rolaria. He spends his days teaching children how to read in order to distract him from his mother’s bizarre disappearance. She worked in the castle before suddenly vanishing, and when Eden mistakenly receives an invitation to the Royal Ball, he goes to feel closer to her.
That same night, Prince Jared must find a bride. But after an unexpected encounter between Eden and the prince, a relationship begins. After a night with the prince, Eden explores the castle on his own. Lost in the corridors, he stumbles upon a hidden room and finds his mother’s journal, whose pages reveal a lineage of outlawed magic.
He soon realizes the castle walls not only hide his romance with Jared but secrets about his mother’s disappearance. In order to unravel the mystery and understand his awakening abilities, Eden must risk exposing his relationship and thwarting Jared’s chances to rule Rolaria.
The closer Eden gets to the truth, the closer he finds himself facing the same fate as his mother.
