eBook Cover Design Brief
I need an eBook cover for a Historical Sword and Sorcery eBook set in 17th century colonial Mexico. The title is "The Return of the Sword of San Lucio" by Carlos Lewis. The cover should follow the successful format illustrated by current best sellers on the Amazon bestseller list.

An image is an indigenous Mexican conquistador with a Katana blade.
The main character is a returning Conquistador of indigenous Mexica who is confessing his past and has a magical secret. I would like his shadowed figure to have extensions moving from his hand into the ground around him. In the story they are similar to worms leaving his body and connecting him to the earth (this is his magic) Please contact me for any more information or specification.
In addition, a Samurai and a Naga (Naga being the monster antagonist) play important roles. I envision their figures shadowed in the background, but am open to suggestions.
Naga concept similar to what I envision: http://img10.deviantart.net/0dad/i/2012/048/2/3/naga_concept_by_suthnmeh-d4q1d7t.jpg

Updates
Project Deadline Extended
Reason: I have received many good designs and have given feedback to my favorites. I want to give an extension so that they have more time to work and not rush.
