This is the section about Ownership of Content.

Ownership of Content. Microsoft does not claim ownership of Prompts, Creations, or any other content you provide, post, input, or submit to, or receive from, Image Creator (including feedback and suggestions). However, by using Image Creator, posting, uploading, inputting, providing, or submitting content you are granting Microsoft and its affiliated companies permission to use the Prompts, Creations, and related content in connection with the operation of their businesses (including, without limitation, all Microsoft Services), including, without limitation, the license rights to: copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, translate and reformat the Prompts, Creations, and other content you provide; and the right to sublicense such rights to any supplier of Image Creator.

About Copyright.

Without limiting Section 12 of the Microsoft Services Agreement in any way, but for the sake of clarity, Microsoft does not make any warranty or representation of any kind that any material created by Image Creator does not infringe the rights of any third party in any subsequent use of the content you may use (including but not limited to copyright, trademark, rights of privacy and publicity, and defamation). You must use any content from Image Creator in accordance with the Code of Conduct and applicable law and subject to any third-party rights.

If you plan to use the image in a book, I think you can do it with reference to how it was created but Microsoft does not make any warranty or representation of any kind that any material created by Image Creator does not infringe the rights of any third party in any subsequent use of the content you may use. I hope this helps!!
