This stunning art is by Jeremy Enechio and the cover was designed by Kristin Boyle at Penguin Random House. I ADORE how it shows Ruby lost in the catacombs, desperate to find a way out and shining her flashlight up at Sean while he searches for her in Paris, having no idea she’s right beneath his feet—so close, yet heart-wrenchingly far.

Here is the official description:

An epic survival-thriller about four teens who get lost in the Paris catacombs for days — a gripping and propulsive story of love, danger, betrayal, and hope… even when all seems lost.

Ruby is terrified to cave to her feelings for Sean and risk him crushing her heart.

Sean is pumped to spend a week with Ruby in Paris on their senior class trip, and he’ll wait however long until she’s ready to take things further.

But when Ruby’s best friend sneaks out the first night to meet a mysterious French boy, Ruby goes after her with two classmates, but caves to another temptation: attending mystery boy’s exclusive party in the Paris catacombs, the intricate web of tunnels beneath the city, home to six million long-dead Parisians. Only they never reach the party.

Underground, as something sinister chases them, they get lost in the endless maze of bones, uncovering dark secrets about the catacombs… and each other.

Aboveground, Sean races to find the girl he loves as a media frenzy over the four missing teens begins.

From award-winning author and rising YA star Diana Urban comes a twisty tale of four teens lost in the dark beneath the City of Light and the race to find them.
