Victoria Koops. Two teens sit at a gaming table. The girl has medium skin tone, dark curly hair and glasses, and wears a red plaid shirt over a black top. She looks over at the boy, who smiles back. He has red hair, pale skin tone and freckles. He wears a blue shirt. Above them, two fantasy characters appear back to back. One is a witch with a pointed black hat, a plague mask and pink hair. The other is a tiefling rogue with gray skin, horns and long black hair.","id":23812596498491,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.653,"height":2451,"width":1600,"src":"\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BNCImageAPI_1eeefd2d-6343-4743-ba93-cc468156be7f.jpg?v=1695491729"},"aspect_ratio":0.653,"height":2451,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BNCImageAPI_1eeefd2d-6343-4743-ba93-cc468156be7f.jpg?v=1695491729","width":1600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFans of Rainbow Rowell and Casey McQuiston will fall for this story of tabletop gaming, romance and epic campaigns — both in game and IRL.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIRL, Darcy has just moved to the small prairie town of Unity Creek with her two moms.

In no time at all, the police arrived and took Viola to jail. The next day she was charged and fined, but she vowed to continue her struggle against such unfair rules.
