Visual storytelling
Little touches of details can go a long way to help tell a story. In the book, Maia befriends the court magician, named Edan, who later turns into a hawk and helps her on her journey to complete her given tasks. To help convey their relationship, there should be a visual connection between the two. One way is to tilt Edan’s head slightly towards Maia and intertwining them with the golden thread.
