Features the ocean
 Books matching this prompt must feature the ocean in some form or another. The book will likely be set on or near the ocean, but it is up to individual readers how deeply the ocean ties into the main story. Any ocean in our world, or in a fantasy or alternate world, will work for this prompt.

The ocean may appear as part of the cover design. Your choice for this prompt may also include words in the title like, “Ocean,” “Sea,” “Tide,” “High Seas,” etc. You may pick a character who loves to surf, is an oceanographer or fisherman, or lives or rides on a boat or submarine. The ocean may tie into the symbolism of the book, or it might be as simple as a location the characters visit.
