These portraits aren’t official illustrations—they’re a collection of random pictures I came across online that inspired the way I imagined my characters while writing. Think of them as a little window into the faces that lived in my mind as the story unfolded.
Zoya
These photos capture her no-nonsense edge—the slightly wary, guarded look of someone who’s learned not to trust the world too easily—and her understated, practical style.
Mariam
The visual inspiration for Mariam is Ani Ogan, a singer from my hometown. Her photos may be a bit more glamorous than Mariam’s look, but they perfectly capture that distinctive Armenian beauty.
Yegor
The not-so-smooth criminal. It was hard to find someone who truly matched how I picture him in my head. The first photo captures his face (minus the piercing), while the second reflects his overall vibe and likely style.
