Image: a white hare sleeping in a golden frame with a black snake coiled around it Title: The Dark Swan Blurb: the witches are hungry, but Eddie Sharpe is famished... Pitch: A cursed vampiric coven binds gentle, pliant Edmund Sharpe to lifelong servitude. He fights to keep his soul from the coven’s decay, but his shared obsession with their enforcer slowly erodes his morality. When his buried magic surfaces, Edmund wields the power to either destroy his captors or join their hunger to survive. Mood. Quote: “I want you to crack my ribs open and sink your teeth into my heart, wrap your fingers around it and tear it loose so you could always carry me with you. I want to see it beat in your mouth before you swallow it whole.” Comps: THE DEATH OF JANE LAWRENCE by Caitlin Starling, THE DOWRY OF BLOOD by S.T. Gibson, THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS by Micah Nemerever, Saltburn (movie)
