When Ben's cousin Sky falls down a sinkhole into another world, he rushes to her rescue, but the deeper he goes, the more Sky seems out of reach, the more familiar this underground world feels. If Ben doesn't find Sky soon, he might lose himself completely. #QueerPit #YA #F

In the top right corner is a black and white photo of a fencer with his mask on as he looks down. The bottom left photo is a part of a young man's face as he lies on his back looking upward. He has black hair. In the top left corner are three photos: slim swords with spiraling guards, a map with D&D dice and pencils on top and around, and a close-up of a brown D20.

A fall themed moodboard with muted and dark themes of orange and red. The top left pictures a lecture hall with scattered students. The middle top picture is a row of books in a library. The top right pictures two hands close up, one over the other. The middle picture is long and covers the entire row. It’s of kids sitting around a bonfire at night. The figures are silhouetted against the fire. In the bottom left, a girl sits on a half wall outside. The path is covered with leaves and you can only see the bottom half of her, but she’s well-dressed in jeans and boots. The middle bottom picture is a campus path bordered on either side by trees in bright orange fall colors and some lamps. Farther down the road, students are walking. In the bottom right, there’s a close-up of a girl with pink hair. You can only see the tips and bottom half of her hair.
