ALT “Zoie Konneker at Peachtree Teen has bought Vesuvius by debut author Cass Biehn, a queer YA historical fantasy pitched as They Both Die at the End by way of The Song of Achilles, set in Pompeii days before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in which two boys, Felix and Loren, must grapple with their closely-guarded secrets and untangle their fates to make it out of the burning city alive. Publication is set for Summer 2025; Annalise Errico at Ladderbird Literary Agency brokered the deal for world rights.” The background is a pink and orange sky with art of two boys dancing. One boy is shorter, has tan/peach skin, curly copper hair, and wears a navy blue tunic. His hands are on the waist of the other boy, and he looks surprised. The other boy has long wavy brown hair, light brown skin, and wears a yellow tunic and a white toga. He’s smiling with his eyes closed.
