A moodboard with 9 images. Top row: a blood moon; a woman head bowed in thought, silhouette framed in fire glow; someone presents a simple black mask, there are bright orange lights behind. Middle row is the same sunrise from the first image. Bottom row: Amita Suman as Inej Ghafa in Shadow and Bone, bathed in a blue green light, looking over her shoulder for danger, hair awry; middle image is of a sinister dark green forest; final image is Aidan Turner as Ross Poldark, half his face cast in shadow.
