Subtle white sparkles are scattered across the background, giving a sophisticated yet romantic feel.

DRINKS AT SIX

A crystal coffin takes center stage on the cover, with its translucent surface reflecting a faint purple hue that seems to shift and swirl like mist inside.

The background is a transitioning gradient of deep black to dark violet, giving the scene a mystical yet foreboding atmosphere. The glow from the vines subtly illuminates the title near the top of the page.
