The book is in the middle. It's called To Speak with the Stars and has a volcano goddess on the cover. A big blue dragon with dragonfly wings, a fluffy white goat, and the head of a small golden dragon surround the book. The text reads: It's release day! Dark high fantasy. Magma merfolk, ice dragons, and other cool races and creatures. The book cover is in the centre. Words are around it with arrows pointing at it: dark high fantasy; multi point of view; ice dragons and magma merfolk; romance without spice; telepathy; found family; disabled and neurodivergent rep; queer-normative world; magic gifted by the gods. Two elves are inside a golden frame in the centre. One is pale-skinned with a long dark braid. She clutches the forearm of a dark-skinned elf with black dreadlocks. The dark-skinned elf looks lovingly at her. The text reads, Vivid and immersive; humourous despite its dark themes; in order to rise, you must first fall; To Speak with the Stars. The book cover has a volcano goddess with dark skin with orange rivulets of magma in it. She holds a bright yellow sphere with images of two young elves in it. The background is black with golden constellations. The text reads, To Speak with the Stars. Link in bio!

An old western-style wanted poster with a sketch of a volcano goddess with long hair and slightly-pointed ears caressing the face of a faun with big curved horns and long wavy hair. Wanted: ARC (advance reader copy) readers. Reward: a dark high fantasy with a dash of romance. The book cover is in the centre. Words are around it with arrows pointing at it: dark high fantasy; multi point of view; ice dragons and magma merfolk; romance without spice; telepathy; found family; disabled and neurodivergent rep; queer-normative world; magic gifted by the gods. An illustration of a dragon with four wings like a dragonfly. A colour digital painting of the same dragon (just his head with blue scales and silver multifaceted eyes). A postcard image of a snowy mountain. Torn pieces of paper are arranged like a collage. On them, text: Have no fear, mortal. You are a friend of the gods and of my kin. I will show restraint and not consume you. Yet. Two elves. One is pale-skinned with a long dark braid with teal highlights. She clutches the forearm of a dark-skinned elf with black dreadlocks. The dark-skinned elf looks at her while she stares in awe at the fire magic he's creating in his open palms. The text reads: Underestimate me. That'll be fun. Quote by Rebel Circus.

A dark-skinned Syri elf with dark braids and a light-skinned Icri elf with ginger hair and a dark green hood on. Both hold swords. The text reads, Meet the Races of To Speak With the Stars. Syri elf. Icri elf. Syri elves. Sometimes born with star (fire) magic. Worship the star goddess, Syra. Dark skin. Hair colour can be black, brown, or dark blue. Icri elves. Sometimes born with ice magic. Worship the twin moon gods, Icra and Icron. Light skin. Hair colour can be white, blonde, or ginger. A dwarf wearing a hood and armour and smoking a pipe pores over a history book. The text reads, Meet the Races of To Speak With the Stars. Dwarf. A smaller picture of the dwarf in the previous slide. The text reads, He was a scrawny dwarf with a surprisingly ornately-braided beard and permanent cold bumps along his exposed skin. Eos met his gaze and he immediately looked down at his shoes, spectacles balancing precariously on his stubby nose. His eyes were a rich gold, unlike any others Eos had seen. His lack of musculature hinted at a more scholarly status than escorting a prisoner to his execution.

A large blue draconic creature with four dragonfly-like wings, sharp teeth and talons, and a long reptilian tail. Icicles drip from its chin. It's a unique fantasy race called a crystalkin. The text reads, Meet the Races of To Speak With the Stars. Crystalkin. Character art by @arely_rose__ The creature was more than twice the size of a full-grown elf. Silvery blue scales adorned its massive body, glittering in the light of the False Star in rainbow-hued patterns. With a flutter to dislodge the snowflakes that had already collected on them, the crystalkin folded its four irridescent paper-thin wings neatly upon its back. It bent its elegant head and peered at her with a large, bulbous silver eye. To Rysa's surprise, it had no clear pupil but was multifaceted. Artwork by @arely_rose__ In the centre is a close-up of a crystalkin's smiling face. Around it is a stylized line drawing of the sun. The text reads, In order to rise, you must first fall.

Swirls of tiny white and blue dots represent symbiotic creatures called ola'i. The text reads, "Meet the creatures of To Speak With the Stars. Ola'i." Camas spread his arms wide and Rysa followed his gaze, noticing for the first time the millions of tiny pinpricks of energy floating around them. She'd thought they were snowflakes at first, but not all of them were falling. Rysa's jaw dropped open as the millions of ice ola'i above her sent her their emotions. Contentment, glee, and wonder.
