A moodboard of 9 images. From the top left, a hand holds a crystal rock. Second is an image of an older library--it's bright with marble floors. Third, blue D&D dice on a black background, they seem to glow faintly. Fourth, a sun sets in a dark sky, underexposed. Fifth, in the center, 5 silhouettes against a blue sky hike up a grassy hill. Sixth, a girl holds her hands in front of her face, her eyes are serious and aim at the camera and lights glow in-between her fingers. Seventh, a beam of light shines from a hole down into a cave. Eighth, a girl is silhouetted and looks out the bars of a cell. Ninth, is a closeup of the guard of a fencing sabre.

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. #QuestPit #Q #YA #F

This sounds awesome!

A moodboard with nine images. First is a bunch of books with one being flipped open. Second is a quill in an inkpot on a desk with books and scrolls on it. Third it a cave, glittering blue and a little orange in the opening that swoops like a wave. Fourth is a warm setting sun with a few clouds. In the center and fifth is a hood figure facing away and looking out over foggy mountains. Sixth is a closeup of a crystal, sparkling white and orange and a little blue and throwing off light. Seventh is an open book with a bunch of dried flowers lying in the crease. Eighth is a sparrow on a branch looking over its shoulder. Ninth, two hands are angled palm up dirtied by a dark liquid, could be blood or mud, and behind there is smoke.

Talfein has spent 500 years trying to revive his dead lover, but when he finally creates a Wishing Stone, it ends up in the hands of a lost human girl. He’ll have to help her friends rescue her if he wants a chance to wish his lover back. #DVPit #YA #F
