A dark olive green background with a beige banner in the top middle that says, "Until the Hellebores Bloom" Below that is the summary - “So, darling? Do you think you will like it?” “I do not know, husband.” Namjoon turned around to smile at him knowingly. “Will I get to stay here long enough to see the hellebores bloom this winter?” It had been two straight winters now that his opportunity to see the flowers in full bloom had been foiled by their plans to relocate. “That is entirely up to you, Namjoon,” Taehyung answered easily. “You only need say what you want out loud so I can do my utmost to ensure it.” On the left there are tiny pieces of old paper lined up.

A book that should not exist. And it knows Namjoon. It speaks in Namjoon’s voice.
