[image id: A poster shaped graphic of a sunset overlaid by a houseboat on water and thick, twisting strands of kelp. The top is darker due to an ombre effect that fades out by the middle. The text at the top reads The Dawn Seal and below that in cursive by Holly Webb. Below that is a white line coming to a stop above the bottom third in the shape of a ball and below that a picture of a seal popped up out of the water in a circular frame]

[image id: An edit with a black background. White text at the top reads: A Wish in the Dark. At the bottom it reads: Christina Soontornvat. Centred are two concentric rings, the outer ring wide and depicting a hazy view of rolling hills and clouds and close ups of flowers, also slightly blurry. The second concentric ring is yellow and features shining yellow spheres. The centre-piece is circular as well and shows monks crossing a bamboo bridge and a person in a boat below with his hands together]
