Book Cover Design Brief

I want a book cover that represents my young adult genre book. The book is based on a legend from the Norse mythology. I have chosen a set of key words that describes the book. Please use a subset of these key words to create a book cover in spirit of the abstract in the end of this description.

Note: Please make space for a book title, but I have not made the final decision on the name

Key words: (in no particular order)
Nordic landscape / flaming tower / foggy mysterious moor / Valkyrie / sword (Ulfberht) / ring (gold) / owl / vintage motorcycle (Vincent Rapide C from 1951) / boy (brunet) / girl (blonde) / love / curse / good / evil / heritage / magic / fantasy / possessed / friends / high-school / beautiful / muscular / late-teens / innocence / Norse mythology / pike (fish) / green eyes / yellow amber / modern time / past time / viking history / dreams / Norse gods / runes

Book Abstract:
A long time ago a golden treasure was stolen. Poison and lies ended a love story tragically and the fated ending was lost. For a thousand years the mighty all-seeing has worked in silence, so the gold could return to its rightful owner and the saga would get the ending it was meant to have. The families have long been doing their best to untangle the threads of faith, so they can weave a new thread, the rightful ending. It is not until then everyone can get peace.

At the end of a long and lazy summer break Hilda begins to read her great-grandmother diaries and it looks like they have more in common than the name they share. Hilda is drawn into a strange dream world between reality and fantasy where evil and sudden death is lurking, a family curse must be broken and a triangle drama that is jeopardizing friendship must be solved. Hilda and Runa are best friends, totally inseparable until they both fall in love with the new boy at school, Sigge Volsung. He is nothing like the other boys, he drives a vintage motor cycle and have a long irritating fringe that keeps falling into his beautiful blue eyes. Now the time has come for the friends to solve the mystery with the help of love, friendship and mythology so that the saga finally can have the pre-determined ending, meant to be.
