How to Save a Dog from the Underworld

Coming In 2027

Announcement for a book titled 'How to Save a Dog from the Underworld' with illustrations of three colorful, cartoon-style dogs, and text indicating the cover is forthcoming, credited to @charlyclements.

When a headstrong necromancer goes in search of her dog’s soul in the Underworld, she finds an infuriating, attractive god pet-sitting; they test who keeps the dog through trials of treats, tricks, and trust, only to realize they might be testing their love for each other instead.
