3 query rejections in a day is a new record for me 😭
it definitely had me down and rethinking my life choices (not the best mindset to be in walking into an exam) but i practically aced it so my spirits are high 🌝✨

loving the love on #questpit, but now that my pitches are all up, does anyone have advice for sifting through the likes/reposts on their posts for industry interest (here and on x)? this is starkly different from DvPit and I'm a little overwhelmed 😭

An heir saddled by indecision & his sister with a hardened heart have always had a strained relationship, but as echoes of the last war to be fought morph into a battle cry, their differing stances risk severing their bond for good.

When a heroic ancestry and truths of an old war surface, a guilt-stricken girl races to free her imprisoned friend and subdue a radical foe while a hesitant prince debates whether remaining loyal to the crown is worth the moral turmoil.

Guilt is Cindren's anchor as much as it's her jailer, but her golden eyes speak of ancestry whispered amongst the forsaken. Something once slumbering has emerged within her, painting her destiny as dark as the cloak she was born to wear.

Cindren and Kasiel have always been close, his presence one of the few comforts that persisted after her parents were executed. But as they journey in the direction of fate's twisted strings, an ember of growing affection is given welcome fuel.

A prince should know better than being guided by his own heart, but the stirring of longing that emerges in Nazar forces him to walk the thin line of desire and treachery for the girl that's distraction and necessity both: Vris, his personal sentry.
