BLOOD MOON (but make em witchy) & the twisted 🔥of IMMORTAL DARK

A reluctantly good witch is forced to investigate her darkly gifted soulmate when she learns he’s planning to kill her at the altar so that he can keep his forbidden magic all to himself.

The image is a dark, romantic mood board with a dark academia setting. Upper left corner images show candles, spell books, herbs, a red full moon. The word “CURSE” torn through paper is in the upper right corner of the mood board. There is a collage of images in the middle, including a library and an old university building. In the center, the words say: “BREAK THE BOND BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.” Bottom corner of the image shows two people—a Black girl with white curls and a white-haired guy—who represent cursed soulmates. Other images include ivy on a stone house, a bird, pressed flowers, wine, and an old pocket watch. There is a collection of text phrases throughout the mood board: “A Damning Prophecy,” “Forbidden Magic,” “Dark Academia,” and a quote from Edgar Allan Poe’s Annabel Lee, “But we loved with a love that was more than love.”

PRACTICAL MAGIC x THE SEVEN YEAR SLIP

When a magicless and loveless nail artist performs an ancient spell helping her gain back her dreams, fate decides she needs two more gifts: magic she has no control over and a soulmate she can’t get rid of.

nine picture photo collage of a girl in the window looking for someone, a man with his button down shirt open, a ballroom, an art piece with the quote “I feel my magic”, a woman with gold nails touching her knotless braids, an old Victorian list of flowers and herbs and their meanings, tattooed legs, Smokey quartz crystals, and tea in a mug sitting with dried herbs, a cauldron and a candle.

In Vega’s world, survival means surrendering memories to an arcane intelligence.

Doomed to die as sacrifice, she cheats fate with forbidden magic—but her family's curse hunts her brother instead.

To save him, Vega must uncover the truth her world was made to forget.

#QuestPit #YA #F #SFF #Q #RF
First Revelation: "To survive, you must forget." First paragraphs from the first chapter of The Celestial Ring: As I move through the canyon of glass and steel toward Her, the likelihood of imminent death feels briefly distant. For the millionth time, my fingers brush where the disruptor hides in my robe pocket. If this little device saves me, it will be more than worth the risk. My brother strides ahead, shaking his head at the Interpreter towers. Each spirals upward, disappearing out of reach, like the people inside them. Families with desirable names and the privileges that come with it. Kids who probably are not worried if they’ll hear Her voice today. The Celestial Ring YA Science Fantasy by H.K. Smith

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign.

#QuestPit #A #H #M
The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

TOUCH OF DARKNESS X ARCANA ACADEMY

After a demi-goddess escapes captivity from her ex, she turns to an academic institute run by a prince of Hell, determined to start a new life as a schoolmaster. But her students are wicked & the headmaster wants her gone.

#questpit #F #R #RF #W
The image shows a text that reads “Gods & Devils Don’t Mix” in bold black letters on a red-orange background. The top left text reads, “He was a skin-searing, heartbeat-inducing, stomach-fluttering kind of beast. A beast with sharp horns.” Beside it, a silhouette of a dragon appears against a sunset. Below that, a Black woman in a flowing white gown stands near a window surrounded by plants. In the bottom left, sunlight filters through a garden full of pink flowers. On the right, a man with his back turned looks out at an ocean. Text near him reads, “Sweetheart, you’re more than welcome to stay at Darkfell for as long as you can make it.”

Dark forest. An agent's guide to The Blessing Returned. Adult fantasy. 98,000 words. Dark forest. Pitch. Idealistic Hana Hahl lives in a world that is slowly dying after a failed quest to bring back magic. The only ones left with power are self-serving royals and dark mages, while desperation has given rise to an anti-magic order. Caught up in a mystical event, Hana is blessed with an immense power that could restore nature to the world. As Hana struggles to control the overwhelming force, Lady Kalyn Nossi, the only known survivor of the disastrous quest, directs her to the one person who can help her. Matthias Azel, the failed chosen one, reluctantly agrees to teach Hana while concealing his past from her. Accompanied by Kalyn and a charismatic prince with a dangerous secret, they journey to seek answers about Hana’s destiny. They fend off demonic threats and the anti-magic forces as Hana struggles with magic that seems to resist her and a growing fear that the world isn’t meant to be saved. A dark forest. Comps.

She took a cautious step forward, unaware she was in a spectral form. Little drops of shimmering light followed her path, dissolving into the ground. “But this has to be a sign?” Grass grew where the light fell, delicate bits of nature that should be impossible. “Maybe it’s returning!” The young woman spoke with such bright reverence as if life was a fairy tale and magic was all they needed for a happy ending. It was as if she couldn’t see the shadows approaching her. The inevitable death. “Magic should never return.” After speaking those words, he sprang forward and shoved her away from the shadows. Pain rocked him as soon as he touched her. The scorching mystical agony tore a scream out of him, but it kept her away from the unearthly menace, and the shock did what he intended. Sent him back to his body.

GRIM PORTENTS

HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE X CONSTANTINE

A man is murdered by a hell-beast on his wedding day. Now, with the help of the reaper who collected his soul, he must uncover who is releasing monsters from Hell if he wants to return to the life he was robbed of.

#P #F #H #PR #Hu #OWN #questpit
Grim Portents cover featuring a skeleton hand holding a feather and emerging from an open book. The title is on a burning banner that envelops the feather and a large beast looms over it all. At the top, the tagline reads: Welcome to the first day of the end of your life… Black and white sketch of characters Bill and Sonny. Bill is a dark featured man in a suit and kind of a Mark Ruffalo vibe. Sonny is a rotting corpse man with a cardigan. "I HAD ALWAYS TOLD MYSELF IT WAS A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION, THE MIND PLAYING TRICKS. IT WAS JUST A SHADOW. BUT NOW THE MONSTER HAD BEEN GIVEN A NAME, AN IDENTITY. IT WAS REAL." Bill Baker wants nothing more than to marry the woman he loves, but when his wedding is interrupted by a rampaging hell-beast, his life is thrown into disarray. Desperate for a second chance, he will do anything to set his future back on track. Now, with the help of a soul-collecting reaper named Sonny, he must uncover who is releasing monsters from Hell, in order to earn back the life that was stolen from him and prevent the oncoming end of days. Faced with the choice between what is right and what is easy, Bill may have to sacrifice all he holds dear for one last shot at life. Ad for Grim Portents, featuring a print copy of the book and an ebook on an iPhone. A QR code that takes you to my website and the words “Scan to learn more about debut paranormal fantasy novel Grim Portents” below it. Under that, it says “Available online anywhere books are sold!” And above it all is the tagline “Welcome to the first day of the end of your life”

My graphic introduces two main YA fantasy characters, Theodore and Juniper, described as “witch soulmates.” It shows photos of each: Juniper with curly white-blonde hair wearing a dark jacket, and Theodore with white hair resting his hand against his face. There are handwritten notes around the images: Juniper thinks Theodore wants her dead, while he thinks she only wants his power. Both are described as “insanely jealous” and “insanely protective,” and that they can’t stop thinking about kissing each other. The background design has a scrapbook style with doodles. There is also a kissy face emoji, an evil face emoji, and a dead face emoji.
