MEXICAN GOTHIC X CRIMSON PEAK

A biracial woman returns to her birthplace in S. Korea where she must choose between unearthing her family's history of disappearances—and the truth buried in her grandmother's garden—or become the next woman claimed by the its dark history.

#questpit #A #F #H #W
When Seo-Yun returns to her estranged and ailing grandmother’s island estate to investigate her family’s history of disappearances, she finds the once-illustrious house steeped in rot and the prized garden now withered and dying. As Seo-Yun's physical and mental health deteriorate, her grandmother’s inexplicably improves. The decay in the house mysteriously begins to heal, while creeping vines from the garden hungrily spread throughout the halls, whispering warnings of a faceless ghost that draws closer each passing night. On the verge of her mind and body unraveling, she must unearth generations of her family’s secrets—and the truth buried in her grandmother’s garden—before she becomes the next woman claimed by its dark history. Photo grid: statue covered in ivy, a woman staring into the forest, a woman covered in a sheet, a person wrapped in ivy, a picture of a woman's face scratched out, a woman standing in fog, a moth on a hand, a person sitting in the dark, a hand wrapped in ivy

Kira and Xavier have two things in common: neither is in a place to start a relationship and they're extremely attracted to each other.

It's only natural that they become friends with benefits.

All too soon, they're torn between following their hearts, or risking everything.

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.

When a digital music artist interrupts a heist, she becomes entangled in an underground Robinhood-style crime syndicate bent on destroying the corporate elite. It’s good to be famous in a digital world, but being infamous is so much more fun.

They include an image of a robot fashioned after a human woman, a photo of sound equipment for making music, a dark city alleyway, a woman sitting on the floor while wearing a VR headset and typing on an old keyboard, a pink landscape of people looking at a city with the text "I'll be your Machine Girl, xoxo," and an image of fireworks at a concert as the crowd goes wild and holds their hands in the air.

MARTYR! x THE NAMES but isekai

Max sees no future for himself until death reshapes him into a noble in an alternate ancient East Asia. As Yoon, he has it all: status, affection, & a prediction that his love is lethal. Is life worth living if it comes at others’ suffering?
#QuestPit #Q #A #LF #HF #F
This is a flowery graphic with post-reincarnation Yoon on the left and pre-reincarnation Max on the right, but turned at an angle with their character artworks facing each other. Above fancy robe-wearing Yoon there are lines that read: In the stillness of death, he immortalized her as his ever-loving, ever-living flower. It would be an eternity of affection. Above florist-uniformed Max are the lines: It wouldn't be so bad if this were the end, he thought... In their family, inconvenient things were silently buried. Especially death.

Sharing my #agentsguide for CONDUCT OF MAGES, an #A #F for fans of JADE CITY x SIX OF CROWS

When her mentor goes missing Gemma teams up with fellow mage, Ren, to uncover a plot to eradicate mages…one that involves the emergence of a mysterious stone that mimics their powers.

#questpit #Q #querying
cover page that says CONDUCT OF MAGES, an adult fantasy complete at 102K words on a moody dark background showing a brown building and orange and yellow paper lanterns text reads THE VIBES and lists: energy magic, heists & scheming, found family, research subplot, slooow burn, female role models, SE Asian setting. placed on a moody dark background showing a brown building and orange and yellow paper lanterns text reads FOR FANS OF and then six book covers are displayed, from top left to bottom right: JADE CITY, JASAD HEIR, MISTBORN, HEARTLESS HUNTER, BLOOD OVER BRIGHT HAVEN, and SIX OF CROWS text reads EXCERPTS. the first is labeled FIRST LINE, and reads “Gemna was sorting through a basket of sparrowberries when she found out that her existence had been outlawed.” the second text bid is labeled CHAPTER 4 and reads: “In all fairness, Yala had never specified just how flammable elderfire was. The heat was instantaneous and overwhelming. Gemna felt it scorch the edges of her sleeves before she pulled in the energy from the flames and, when she was nearly bursting with it, diverted it towards the two Hands at the front of the shop. The fire died harmlessly at her feet before it could eat its way into the hidden cellar below.”
