It softens and stills
cleansing harmony
bringing close the hearth
with its icy breath
diamond-dappled mounds.

A woman with short, greying dark hair stands outdoors beside an old red British phone box. She wears a teal button-up shirt tucked into high waisted dark jeans and black shoes. A pair of sunglasses hangs from her shirt. Behind her is a stone wall, a flowing river, and trees with early autumn foliage. Two small blue andwhite utility markers are set into the grass near her feet. The atmosphere is calm and slightly overcast.

Cover art by Ben Baldwin shows a creature crouching in a low tunnel entrance lined with grey stones and partly hidden by green undergrowth and white flowers. The creature has pale skin covered in sparse black hair and it looks a bit like an ape, a bit like a bear, and completely unlike either of those. Book extract reads: I looked up and stared at nothing. An idea was floating just out of reach. A moment later, it hit me like a smack in the face. I ran up the stairs, taking them two and three at a time. In the front bedroom, I emptied Fin’s suitcase onto the bed. I turned over her clothes, raking them apart with my hands. Nothing. I realised anyone outside would be able to see what I was doing. They’d also see I’d lost the towels I’d been wearing on the stairs. I quickly drew the curtains. Fin had hung the dress bag for her bridesmaid’s frock on the front of the wardrobe. I pulled the zip down so hard it jammed. I forced myself to go more slowly. Taking the frock out of the bag, I shook it. The shoes and the headdress of silk flowers fell onto the floor. I didn’t care about them. I carefully turned the dress inside out. I saw a fleck of white caught in a seam. A tiny, downy feather.
