Mood board. Green to purple-blue colour way from right top corner to bottom left corner. Text on torn paper reads lyrics from Hozier’s Work Song: lay me gently in the cold dark earth, no grave can hold my body down, ill crawl home to her. Pics top to bottom, left to right: a white woman with blonde hair in a garden. Green hair in a braid. green leather armour. A hand against the backdrop of an evening sky and crescent moon. Holding hands. A forest with yellow eyes peering out. A woman in pretty dress. An eye glazed with swirling starlight. The back of a hood figure with a bow and arrow.

A Reader's Guide to MOTHLIGHT by @thatfunkylilfey Overview Ever since their sister’s death, Aeramis—a shapeshifter—has been aimless, moving through life in a haze. Then, six months ago while working on a contract for a group of rogues known as the Serpents, they discovered evidence leading them to believe their sister might still be alive. Since then, the shapeshifter has been on their own, following a path they know ends in blood. When Aeramis’ hunt leads them back to Bastien, the captain of the Serpents and a man willing to break his code for them, the two of them find that their paths may have been entwined from the start, unraveling secrets long since buried in the past.

When the King’s lethal plans to eradicate magic threatens to expose a noble’s seer abilities, she exploits her engagement with the King’s son to uncover the Crown’s secrets, but her fiancé’s fascination with poison could make her his next test subject if she’s caught
#QuestPit #YA #F #Q #AgentsGuide
Cream background with gray lines curving across it. Brown outlines of flowers border the top left and bottom right corners. “An Agent’s Guide To,” “A Crown of Poison,” “YA Fantasy - 95k words,” and “Alyssa Archer” mark the center of the page in brown. Three graphics of amber jars with white labels sit on a brown wooden shelf. “Craft Your Poison” marks the front of the shelf in black cursive. First jar: A yellow flower with green stems sits inside the jar. “Ingredient,” “Enemies to Lovers,” and “‘If you’re going to threaten to poison me, you should understand what you’re trying to poison me with’” mark the label. Second jar: Dark indigo berries with lime green leaves fill the jar. “Ingredient,” “Involuntary visions of the future,” and “Blue, unseeing eyes bore into me. Their emptiness seizes my consciousness, twisting it awake. When I blink, the woman’s eyes close, and she disappears into the darkness” marks the label. Third jar: A green leaf sits inside the jar. “Ingredient,” “Lessons in poison,” and “]I thought you couldn’t digest information from just reading.’ His chin dips, waiting to see if I uphold the lie I forgot about. I shrug. ‘It had drawings’” marks the label. An aged sheet of parchment lies across a light wood table. “First page” with a line beneath it marks the top of the parchment. Text fills the rest of the parchment: Heat skitters across my legs and arms as I sink into the tub in my grandmother Leelee’s washroom. The lavender and rose-perfumed water suffocates the darkened room. My nose flinches at the disturbingly familiar scents, and my eyelids squeeze shut as I remember my vision from five years ago. The bloody images flash behind my eyes, and piercing screams reverberate in my ears. My gloved fingers scrape the tub’s sides as they curl into fists. “Star.” River’s even voice draws me back to the present and to what I promised her I’d do. I meet River’s pale Seer eyes. They mirror my own; my sky-blue irises faded to almost white after my Seer abilities showed at twelve. “Yes,” I grumble, irritated with her forcing me to trigger my first vision. Even though we do this every week, I hate it. I’d rather wear sopping clothes everyday than remember what happened on my twelfth birthday. I’m only obeying her wishes because of the deal we made when I was thirteen. The pleasant warmth from the bath loosens the knots in my back, and my anxious breaths slow until they’re steady. “Are you ready?” River’s dress plumes around her as she kneels beside the wooden tub. “Yes.” She unsheathes her dagger and flips her hand. A shard of light slips through the closed curtains, highlighting the dark edges of the Eye on her palm. She presses the blade’s tip into the pad of her index finger, and crimson bubbles from the wound. After sheathing her dagger, she leans over the steaming water, positioning her finger beneath my nose. A collage with 12 photos. First photo is of yellow daffodils. Second photo is the book cover of “Violet Made of Thorns” by Gina Chen. Gold roses on green vines curve up the purple cover. Third photo is of a wine glass filled with a crimson liquid and dried flowers. Fourth photo is of a golden crown on a stool covered by a tan sheet. Fifth photo is of purple foxglove in a blurred field. Sixth photo is of a blond woman wearing a blue gown in front of a wall of red flowers. Seventh photo is of a blond man lying on the floor with a necklace dangling over his head. Eighth photo is a close-up of a light blue eye beside white flowers on the grass. Ninth photo is of a cliff with the sea at its bottom. Tenth photo is of the black pommel of a rusty sword. Eleventh photo is the book cover of “Defy the Night” by Brigid Kemmerer. Purple flowers surround a far away shot of a castle on the purple book cover. Twelfth photo is of purple calla lilies.

A line of palm trees grows at the side of the street. Top right: A black bird comes in for a landing on a tree branch, in front of a yellow sky. Centre left: A street in San Francisco at sunset. The Golden Gate Bridge is visible in the distance. Centre: The title of the story, “The Mysteries of the Apricot Sun”, on a yellow background. Centre right: A green and purple Aurora over rocks. Bottom left: A few light orange (one light grey) dresses on hangers and mannequins. Bottom centre: Two arcade machines with a game called “Easy Money”. Bottom right: A brass door carved with a Sun / star design. A digital drawing of a young thin white woman shown from the chest up, looking to the right with a smile. She has a dusty pink shag cut and wide eyes with off-white irises. She is wearing her green t-shirt and multicoloured bead necklace. Darbicor "Darby" Chedanta ran away from her family a year ago, after her father's exploitation of her precognitive abilities reached a breaking point. She's been living on the beach with her friend Hespar ever since. This hasn't solved all her problems, though; her father keeps sending her sister Consicor out to talk to her, and she's in pain - whether emotional or physical - almost every night. Then she buys herself a strange locket as a birth-night present, and a vicious demigod sets sights on her. She and Consicor learn about a plot to defy the heavens themselves. The events which ensue threaten to bring all the secrets to the surface.
