The Apparently Famous Mia Miller. Purple background with a tuning fork, magical wisps, and wisteria Cast of characters. A smiling blonde girl: the BFF. An amused looking brunette: the hero. A dark haired boy: the boy. A fierce looking woman: the mom. A befuddled looking woman: the author. Snippet: Why? That's always the question, isn't it? This one act of rebellion feels like pulling at a thread and watching everyhing unravel. Like maybe the wrold wouldn't come to an end if I didn't follow every single rule laid out in front of me. Like maybe these rules don't really make any sense. Comps: "The Lost Hero"- Aged up Riordan. Quest with BFF. "Fire with Fire" by Destiny Soria- Southern Fantasy. Anxiety Rep.

Once Upon A Broken Heart x Daughter Of No Worlds x Dark Water Daughter

A maid and a pirate hunting for a mythical stone spark a budding romance, but when his past threatens their mission & her bff's life, she must betray her heart to save her friend.

#QuestPit #NA #RF #Editing
An agent guide for The Siren's Call by Danielle Bradbury and Ashlea P Screaton. A new adult slowburn romantasy. Pitch: Delphine dreams of adventure, but usually pays for it in bruises. Pirate captain Osian offers an escape to sea, but she won't leave without her best friend, Otto. Her escape seems dead in the water, until Otto is sent with the pirates to pursue a legendary Stone, and she will not be left behind. Reunited on the waves, Osian and Delphine's spark strengthens. Then a deception within the crew locks a cruel enemy from Osian's past onto their tail, one who will stop at nothing to end his life. While Osian is eager to forget the reward, the pirates want Otto's life if the mission fails. Delphine must decide whether to trust the man she's falling for, or betray him to save Otto. Comp Titles: Once Upon A Broken Heart (Stephanie Garber) - Cocky but hopelessly romantic love interest - Selfless heroine sacrificing all for love - Magic and myths - Betrayal - True slow burn romance Daughter Of No Worlds (Carissa Broadbent) - Reluctant allies to lovers - Broken love interest with a scarring secret - Male yearning - Betrayal - Hidden rage & trauma Dark Water Daughter (H. M. Long) - High stakes survival and adventure - Critical quest fuelled by legend - Changing loyalty - Pirate fantasy - Sea myths & magical creatures Snippet: “Would you? Have regretted it, I mean?” Their eyes met. Delphine pinned him with her expectant stare, and he worried again whether she could rummage around his mind for the answers she sought. What could he say? She’d no doubt find him obsessive if he told her the truth – how he’d spent so many waking moments wondering if she remembered their one dance as fondly as he did, when moonlight had clung to her hair and tickled her face as she’d taunted him beneath the stars. How he’d been so relieved to see her on board his ship, in a way he couldn’t put into words. How he hadn’t managed to get rid of the smell of sugar since meeting her, and didn’t want to. Would he have regretted her kiss? “No, Ceraid.” He swallowed, shuffling under the weight of the question. “I could have never regretted it.”

Here's CLINGING TO THE STONES, inspired by Syrian history & mythology:

🌟A broken philosopher-warrior seeking a legendary spear.
🌟An imperial mother must extract her son from an impregnable fortress.
🌟Their paths are about to collide.

#QuestPit #Q #A #F #agentsguide
Clinging to the Stones Adult fantasy heist by Hussain A. Ayoub 109K Words Multi-POV The river of fate drags everyone forward. Only the desperate dare to cling to the stones. The heist: Acyrnar Acyrnar has fragile bones, a dying father, and only half the will to hunt his rogue master. But here he is anyway, because living hurts. When he learns his master’s mission might hold the only cure for the rot killing his father, Acyrnar turns coat and joins him. Simple enough. Except he must first kidnap the Empress of the Crimson Empire, brand himself an outlaw forever, and make enemies of some of the most powerful and vindictive people alive. The Counter-heist: Melam Across the sea, Empress Melam fights to protect her son from a succession ritual that will slaughter all but one heir to the throne. Scarred by personal loss and a world rigged against her, Melam does what any desperate mother would do—she turns to the criminal underworld to break her son out of the impregnable Cage. She doesn't need a savior; she needs a distraction. Their colliding paths are set to ignite a war, unravel loyalties, and decide the fate of nations. Comparative titles: The Age of Madness series. The Lies of Locke Lamora. Andor. Grave Empire. “You are marked by the stars.” Mother used to repeat that grim prophecy, her voice a warm feather tickling his cheek, her words an icy blade piercing his soul. “Like the Surabrenna, three daughters bind you: one will pass without you, one will weep for you, one will burn with you.” Clinging to the Stones A fantasy inspired by Syrian history & mythology.
