Breath of Starlight follows Auryn, a fallen star, and Kailorien, the immortal forged to guard her, as they risk devotion and defiance to break free of a destiny that would consume them—or see their Bond become the weapon that ends the world for the second time.

Guys, am I loony or is this agent fully admitting to not reading my submission "properly"? LOL

This is that rejection that made no sense. Instead of telling me to resubmit the revision or to send updates materials, they simply told me to have a nice life ^__^

Top pics: a cabin in snowy mountains & a woman walking in a jungle forest. Over those 2 pics is the title in orange Wilderness Lockup. On the snowy pic is a quote: “the instinct to survive is human nature itself, and every aspect of our personalities derive from it.” - Robert Heinlein 2nd row pics: A blonde girl in an orange coat with a tan backpack in a forest holding a map, & a man in an orange jacket sailing a boat on an ocean. 3rd row pics: a man walking in a sandy desert, & a girl walking in a red rock area. The desert pic has a quote: “Survivors aren't always the strongest; sometimes they're the smartest, but more often simply the luckiest.” - Carrie Ryan, The Dark & Hollow Places Bottom pics: A man kayaking in a Swamp, a man hiking a Hawaiian trail by the ocean, & a man crying on the sign at the Katahdin trailhead. The Hawaiian picture has a quote "I don't think I outfitted you. I don't think I outfitted you. The only thing I did was outcast you." Bob Crowley, Gabon

SWORDCROSSED X THIS WILL BE FUN

Standalone Spicy Cozy Fantasy
Demisexual Rep
Fat Main Character
MM Second Chance Romance

After the Lich Queen's Demise is the perfect book to heal your inner gifted child suffering from burn out. Please take a gander at my Agent's Guide!

#QuestPit #Q #A #F
The is the first picture of my Agent's Guide to After The Lich Queen's Demise. It's pretty simple two Tarot cards one for the Sun and for the Moon on a purple background. A list of the comps for After the Lich Queen's Demise these include: Swordcrossed, This Will Be Fun, Bookshops and Bonedust, The Spellshop, and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. The Pitch! When Sylvester Biskup’s former flame and adventuring companion Elsinor Laederiel unexpectedly appears back in his life, his world is turned upside down. At first Sylvester does all he can to avoid his flashy former lover: bury himself in work, plan a succubus’ wedding, and even give dating advice from a delusional bard a try. Then the university chancellor offers Sylvester a deal he can’t refuse: secure a donation to the university from Elsinor and earn the promotion he’s been coveting. One problem: he can barely say Elsinor’s name without panicking. The Log Line: Where one hero's journey ends, his life will begin. The Snippet Another suffocating silence engulfed the space between them. Sylvester’s breath slowed down, his pulse calmed. But his heart still clenched when he thought of the last words that Elsinor had spoken to him the morning after their last tryst. Darling, it was just one night. Over the years, the words morphed and churned into a mocking mantra. It was just one more example of how his stupid pig headed brain rushed him into decisions that he couldn’t take back. Now instead of meeting on equal footing, Elsinor loomed over him, smelling sweet and vomit free while Sylvester clung to the tile wall. “Well, I would love to see you there,” Elsinor stopped himself and Sylvester waited with bated breath to hear how he was going to end his sentence. “Sylvester.” Sylvester listened for the tell tale sounds of footsteps clacking away. He closed his eyes and huffed out a deep sigh.

A flower-seller inherits a countryside manor — overrun by 73 dogs, countless dangerous ghosts, and one disgraced celebrity necromancer.

To keep her new home, she must restore the house & work with the necromancer to expel the ghosts… before she becomes a haunting, too.

#questpit #A #F #Q
A collage of mainly black and green images, featuring skulls, candles, dogs, books, flowers, cottages, forests, and ghosts. There are some graphics on it that show dog paw prints, a teacup, and a moon. The text reads: Houndstooth Hollow: When Artemisia inherits a manor from the mother she never met, she expects newfound wealth and a lovely home in the countryside — not a crumbling gothic manor overrun by 73 dogs, countless dangerous ghosts, and one disgraced celebrity necromancer. In order to pay back her debts and save her new home, she must brave the debutante world to secure a fortune and reluctantly enlist the help of the necromancer, whose dark magic represents everything she’s tried so hard to leave behind. A collage of mostly black and green images, featuring old manor houses, crumbling greenhouses, lots of dogs, and quaint cozy cottages in the sunlight. There are some graphics, such as dog paw prints, a moth, a dog face, and stars. The text reads that this is for fans of gothic cottagecore, afternoon tea & midnight rituals, sentient manor, occult academia magic system, necromancy, forced proximity (haunted house), floriography, haunt the rich, cemetery picnics, and haunting as metaphor. There are also comp titles listed: Belladonna, Half a Soul, The Spellshop, Sorcery of Thorns, The Haunting of Hill House, Crimson Peak, The Addams Family, Tim Burton, India Holton, whimsical macabre, and books where the dogs don’t die.

A girl.
Her dog.
A whole lot of trouble.

When Kit Raglan takes a job staying a night in a haunted house, she expects a quiet night, maybe a ghost if she's lucky. Instead, she finds herself implicated in a murder, kicking off a cat-and-mouse game with a bird-masked killer.

A moodboard of 9 images. From the top left, a hand holds a crystal rock. Second is an image of an older library--it's bright with marble floors. Third, blue D&D dice on a black background, they seem to glow faintly. Fourth, a sun sets in a dark sky, underexposed. Fifth, in the center, 5 silhouettes against a blue sky hike up a grassy hill. Sixth, a girl holds her hands in front of her face, her eyes are serious and aim at the camera and lights glow in-between her fingers. Seventh, a beam of light shines from a hole down into a cave. Eighth, a girl is silhouetted and looks out the bars of a cell. Ninth, is a closeup of the guard of a fencing sabre.

The accused? A fame-hungry AF female *gasp* grave digger.

The only one who believes she's innocent? A tomb raider cursed to speak in lies.

The ones who did it? a cult of shapeshifter crows.

A collage of photos: a young woman in repose with her eyes closed, in half-profile, sun reflecting on her face; a man’s hand pushing an elevator button; John Singer Sargent’s “Portrait of Madame X,” a painting of a young woman in a sleeveless black dress; a black and white photo of a man embracing a woman from behind, in front of what looks like hotel room window sheers; red and white dahlia flowers on a black background; looking over the shoulder of a person reading a manuscript; a black and white photo taken from the vantage of a woman looking down at her black high heels; a view down a hallway where doorways are visible on the walls; a collection of botanical books open to pages with flowers; a black and white photo of a hotel bed, with an open book, a room service plate, and what looks like recent signs of intimacy; a colorful row of books on a shelf; the title of the WIP “Surface Tension” is superimposed in a central rectangle.

⚓FROM THE SEA FRET⚓

An #agentsguide to a cosmic/psychological/body horror from a queer/trans perspective.

#QuestPit #A #H #Q #LGBT
Two fishing boats sail on a grey ocean, with seagulls in the overcast sky. White text overlaps the grey sky. It reads: A guide to 'From the Sea Fret' a 74k adult queer horror Grey ocean, with a white-capped wave, serves as the background. The title reads: Pitch and Comps Text is outlined: Callum Point moves to the dead-end town of Perne to scrape together a new life. He's hoping that the small fishing town will give him what he always wanted; peace. Unfortunately, what greets him is a place rife with secrecy, conspiracy and creatures beyond comprehension. 5 posters for books and shows have arrows and notes coming out of them. Dredge by Black Salt Games has the notes: Capitalism despite the horrors. Something's wrong with the fish. Old Wounds by Logan-Ashley Kisner has the notes: Queer and trans identity. People are monsters too. The Fisherman by John Langan has the notes: Lovecraftian. Ocean madness. The Lighthouse by Robert Eggers has the notes: Ocean madness. Obsession with answers. Blood in the Bayou by Just Roll With It has the notes: Who can you trust? Small town cosmic terror. Grey ocean, with a white-capped wave, serves as the background. The title reads: Themes A moodboard of 9 images sits in the middle. A hand reaching out into dark water. Thick seaweed-covered chains being pulled from the ocean. A foggy wharf at night. A group of sharks in dark water. A pencil drawing of a compass on white paper. Close-up of a hazel eye with the pupil completely white. A pile of fish. A porthole looking out onto a grey ocean. The inside of a fishing shack. Text surrounds the images. It reads: Paranoia turns revenge. Struggles with identity. Trans and queer rep. Grief over what could have been. Desperation to fit in. Cosmic/psychological/body horror. Content warnings: emotional abuse, attempted sexual assault, manipulation, transphobia, internalised transphobia, misogyny, cosmic horror, psychological horror, religious trauma, drug/alcohol use, gore, death, blood, paranoia, body horror Grey ocean, with a white-capped wave, serves as the background. The title reads: Excerpt Text is outlined: I scanned the horizon. It was just me on the water. There wasn’t anyone out sailing, or anyone swimming. I was completely alone. But… was I? Beneath me were leagues of ocean. Unlike in the forest, where you can hear the wildlife around you, there were creatures that could pass by in the sea and I would never know. The water concealed their movement, cloaking them from my view. It was getting harder to breathe. The vastness of the ocean was too open, and my skin felt too tight around my chest. I knew, deep in my bones, that something was beneath me and it was watching. On the port side, the water rippled. Though it was only a few steps, the length of the deck felt miles long. I was compelled to look below, and my body moved on its own accord. Though I was terrified of what I would see, I peered over.
