THE TRAITORS X THE STOLEN HEIR

FRIEREN x SILVER CHAIR

When Helio is killed by the deep mage Riptide, he inexplicably wakes miles away, in the body of a young man named Hadley. As he lays low, pretending to be this spoiled lord's son, he learns about himself through Hadley—and through Riptide.

A mockup cover of a book titled "Sunfall." Two characters stand at the foreground. The first, a dark haired young man with an encouraging smile, is holding his hand out to the other. The second, a strawberry blond young man with a considering expression, is hesitatingly taking it. Behind them is an orange-gold background with an eclipsed sun hanging high above them. A man in a suit hovers in front of the sun, magic burning in his hands. Orange text on a black background. It's the text of the poem "A Question" by Robert Frost. "A voice once said, Look me in the stars / and tell me truly, men of earth, / If all the soul-and-body scars / Were not too much to pay for birth."

Addict and con artist Ivigh is given an offer he can’t refuse: find the witch damning the dead or be punished for false necromancy. But he shares a dark history with the witch, one rooted in the wound rotting Ivigh's heart and his inability—despite his best efforts—to die.

A mood board for Ivigh, the narrator for THE PASSING OF EIR LAHREN showing a grid of four pictures. clockwise from top: dark clouds with pink light coming through; an old, foggy cemetery; brooding man with longer dark hair smoking a hand-rolled cigarette; and a dark, stone chamber with rough hewn columns. In the center is a sigil with the name "IVIGH" A promo image of a ceremonial circle of skulls and long bones with an excerpt from THE PASSING OF EIR LAHREN, which reads: The small square at the mouth of the rear gate is alight. The stone wall is stoved in, mining tunnels collapsed, the scaffolding toppled. The willow is cracked and bent under the weight of the fallen stones. I hear the wind. It gnaws at the broken masonry, coagulating it until chucks drop like searing jellied stock. The runes carved at the top of the wall are broken, what little protection they provided gone. Jutting from the stained earth are bones. Femurs, tarsals, ribs, phalanges reaching, reaching, some still fleshed and naked and accusing. My no-longer-secret cemetery. I stare numbly at the faces of the dead, condemned to unrest so I might have a meal. A fix. For what it’s worth, I’m sorry.

The blurb states: Jayce’s mother makes porcelain organs, is lying about her job, and is keeping far too many secrets. Red and Matthew’s father vanished ten years ago, and the grief gnaws only at them; everyone else in the town of Ravenhill, Oregon, has moved on, as they very often do regarding the strange occurrences this place is drowning in. However, when Jayce’s mother disappears without a trace as well, the nightmares that have haunted her son for half of his life intensify. As the police are not too keen on finding her and neither are the townspeople, Matt, Red, and Jayce have to take it upon themselves to understand the situation. Moreover, a mysterious entity has spawned in Jayce’s dreams, wearing Matt’s face, and it seems hell bent on keeping this decade-old case under wraps — even if it means killing its host.

HAMNET x NOSFERATU

The black sheep of a powerful 14th-century Irish family pursues a forbidden romance with the banshee who's haunted his household for generations.

🖤 Bubonic plague
🖤 Catholic horror
🖤 Only one grave

#BluePit #BluePit📖 #A #Q #H #HS #D #Gothic
Photo of a creepy gothic forest with the outline of red skeletal hands reaching in. Text reads "An Agent's Guide to The Banshee of Clan Murtagh: a gothic love story. 80,000 words, adult horror, by Anna Hirsch." Torn paper with a graphic of praying hands holding a rosary. Text reads: The pitch: Ireland, 1348: When Ciarán Murtagh hears the cry of his family’s eternally young banshee, he hunts her down to learn who in his family is fated to die. In the struggle, his touch triggers memories of the banshee’s previous life as a servant of his household—and she demands to know more. They meet by moonlight searching for answers in the banshee’s memories, and Ciarán’s growing attraction sets him on a path of macabre desire. But as the devastating bubonic plague closes in, Ciarán must decide whether to stay by his dying family or succumb to the seduction of the death-bringer. For fans of: the yearning in the time of plague in Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell, the Catholic horror in The Possession of Alba Díaz by Isabel Cañas, and the death-crossed lovers in Nosferatu directed by Robert Eggers. A spooky forest with a red outline of a skeletal deer overlayed on it. Large text reads: The first line: I was a boy of ten when I first saw death, but I'd heard her for years.

"The Fruit of War: Stone and Flesh" is the first book in an epic fantasy series steeped in gothic themes.

It follows Fîeron, an undertaker-psychopomp in a world recovering from an unprecedented war, as he is forced to flee one burden for one far greater -- and darker.

#BluePit 📖 #OS #A #fruitofwar
A dark green banner split in half by a subtle gold border. The left half features a book cover with white text that reads “The Fruit of War, Book 1: Stone and Flesh”, by Tamara S Harker. It shows a man’s hand holding a purple-red fruit cut open to reveal a small skull. In the background is a shadowed orchard with fallen soldiers lying on the ground. The right half of the image describes the book, including a tagline of "Nothing truly dies -- it merely changes." and a launch date of 1st March 2026, both in red text. A donut-shaped pie chart lists its genres as 70% epic fantasy, 20% dark fantasy, and 10% gothic horror. The blurb of the book, in pale green text, reads: "A weary young undertaker is tasked by a dead hero to find an artifact that began – and ended – a recent war. In doing so, he gathers an eclectic group of veterans and greenhorns almost by accident. Yet finding the artifact is only the beginning, and in solving the riddle of the hero’s last request, they are only met with more questions – about the war, their alleged enemy, and the very nature of their world." Finally, green text reads: "For readers who like their fantasy intelligent...immersive...and simmering with ghosts of the past...both figurative and literal." Two quotes from a five-star Goodreads ARC review: "...an ambitious and richly imagined fantasy..." "...an excellent read and a superb debut. It's the kind of book that reminds you of the joys of classic fantasy, with its intricate storytelling, memorable characters, and a world that lingers in your mind long after you've turned the final page."

A mercenary looking for redemption. A noblewoman reclaiming her past. A commander driven by vengeance. A shamaness cast from sanctuary. Phoenix Rises Dragon Soars is a story of forbidden magic, the will to change and characters wrestling with grief and the weight of their pasts.
#BluePit 📖 #P #A #F
An empire in turmoil. A forbidden magic promising death. Four lives changed forever. The Emperor is dead and his widow’s rule drowns the land in fear. Soldiers terrorise the very people they should protect, taxes bleed the poor, and the executioner’s blade awaits any accused of using magic. A mercenary haunted by his past risks his future for a chance at the family he thought he could never have. A noblewoman, bereft of home and memory, begins reclaiming her past to avenge those she lost. A disgraced commander hunts the truth behind his family’s murders, leaving death and destruction in his wake. A shamaness is driven from sanctuary by the desperate actions of a grieving man. Through everything, the thread of a dangerous magic runs deep. Volatile as its wielder’s emotions, it forges bonds of loyalty and love and holds the power to reshape the Empire’s fate. But trust is fragile. And when long-buried secrets surface, bonds may shatter… And vengeance may be all that remains.

When a strange bloom reveals magic she was never meant to have, a quiet bookshop clerk is forced into the magical society hidden within 1920s America. There, she must learn to defend herself against the authorities who deem her too dangerous to exist. #BluePit 📖 #W #A #WF #F #R #HS #WritingCommunity
An Agent's Guide to Secrets of Ink and Enchantment, by Rosalind Hawkins. Historical Fantasy Romance, ≈100k Words (Draft in progress). Background is a dark purple leather, with the outline of a raven in the bottom center. Pitch: After a strange bloom reveals magic she was never meant to have, Clara Wells, a reserved bookshop clerk in 1920s America, is thrust into a magical society that survives through secrecy, regulation, and control. Her employer-turned-mentor, Asher Thorne, has taken it upon himself to protect and teach her rather than throw her to the wolves as would be 'proper'. The guidance meant to keep her alive evolves into something far deeper and more intimate, even as the danger to both of them grows closer by the day. This novel explores how trust can become an act of rebellion in a world that treats those it can't understand as a threat to be erased. Comparisons to A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness: Intimacy unfolds under constant risk of discovery. Love is a destabilizing force in a trauma informed system. One partner acts as a guide through an unfamiliar system. Comparisons to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke: Magic is governed through formal institutions, controlling who may safely belong and who is othered. Othered individuals the system cannot process lead to catastrophe. Context: A character-driven historical fantasy where personal relationships collide with rigid and authoritarian magical governance. Romance Tropes: Slow-burn romance. Trust built through shared risk. Mutual pining. Forced proximity. Deliberately equalized power. Trust before intimacy. Partners against the system. (Images of a ring of skeleton keys hanging up, the sculpture "Psyche revived by Cupid's kiss", and two wooden wizard/fantasy style wands laying crossed on a table.) Story Features: Adult historical fantasy. Teaching driven by responsibility, not authority. Hidden magical society operating alongside the mundane world. Character-first narrative focus. Late escalation of physical intimacy. (Images of a shelf of dark liquor lit from behind, shelves of well-maintained antique books, and an open book with a wooden wand sitting on top of its pages.) Book Excerpt: “Really though, if you could get a potion that did anything at all, what would you ask for?” In that instant, Mr. Thorne dropped the tea cup he had been polishing. It shattered on the wooden floor in front of the desk. He cursed under his breath as he lowered himself to the floor to address the broken porcelain. “I’d certainly take a luck potion, but Lord knows I’ll never be able to afford that,” Mr. Thorne stated, far too seriously for the topic at hand. He then looked up and met Clara’s eyes, startled. It was as if he was surprised by his own answer. He stood, setting the fragmented tea cup on the counter before straightening his hair. “What about you, Clara? If you could make a magical elixir of any kind, what would it be?” Clara thought about it for a moment, looking out the window. The depressing weather was starting to catch up with her. “Well, something to give me energy and lift my spirits would be nice today.” Mr. Thorne grinned at this response, retrieving two still intact tea cups and lifting them in front of him. “It just so happens that I have the perfect potion for you steeping in the back.” (Excerpt from Chapter 3, condensed)

He’s still alive, for one, and he’s got a lucrative trade as a nightrunner smuggling people beneath the vampiric horde that blots out the sky each night. It's dangerous work, but enough to get a roof over his head and a bottle in his hand at the end of the day. That’s pretty good for life under the vampires. Then an attack from the horde leaves him stuck in the desert, alone with a newly-orphaned boy, and his luck finally dries up. He resolves to find what remains of the boy’s family and put it all behind him—but instead of taking him off Corado’s hands, his so-called “family” offers a new deal: escort them to the vampiric capital in exchange for a veritable fortune. Corado knows he shouldn’t. It’s a long, dangerous route, and the group has a smack of sedition to them that he knows firsthand to be a quick way to a bloody death. It is a hell of a lot of money, though. Background image: same as first slide.
