The juxtaposition of the old man's grief, the young man's urgency, and the woman's ghostly memory creates tension and emotional depth, drawing the reader into the story's intertwining plots. The cracked clock symbolizes the fragmented and fleeting nature of time, reinforcing the urgency of the action and adventure. Typography choices of serif for the title and sans-serif for the author name provide a clear hierarchy of information and ensure balance. The distressed and bold lettering of the title adds intensity, while the author name, understated, adds professionalism. Soft-touch matte coupled with selective gloss for the woman's ghostly memory ensures an elegant, tactile quality that resonates with the emotional heart of the book. Together, these elements create a striking, genre-appropriate cover that embodies the story's essence and draws the reader's attention.
