Today, I returned edits and an edit letter for one of the partials.

Want a cool villain origin story? It’s easy! Take two self-absorbed parents, add an enhancement provided by the government, throw in a dash of memory alterations, and marry the man your parents sold you to for breeding. You too can be pushed to the brink of madness! #YA #SF #D #E

If Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” “Vigilante Shit” and “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me” got together for brunch, but their friend “This Love” showed up to add a side quest, you’d get this book.

Agent’s Guide to “Mark of a Magpie”! 📖🐦‍⬛

When a small-town thief crosses paths with the kingdom’s big-shot assassin, an unlikely partnership is born; but can their goals align before their egos and secrets land them both a spot on the gallows?

#QuestPit #Q #YA #F #R #RF

An agent’s guide to: “Mark of a Magpie” YA Romantic Fantasy 119k Words Behind the text is a piece of parchment paper surrounded by ocean water and gold flower outlines. Blurb: One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy… Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes. Five for Silver, Six for Gold… Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them. Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told. The text is on a piece of parchment paper, with ocean water and gold flower outlines behind it. Tropes: Thief x Assassin Mental Health Rep Identity vs Duty Class Difference Forced Proximity Secret Code Morally Gray Women’s Wrongs Unlikely Allies to Lovers Text is on a piece of parchment paper. Besides the text are two headshot drawings: one of a girl with brown hair pulled back by braids, and the other of a black-haired boy with a worried expression. Behind the parchment paper are ocean waters with gold flower outlines. The Atmosphere: There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand. Behind the collage of pictures are ocean waters, with gold flower outlines surrounding it.

A moodboard in dark tones, featuring a painting of a blond man with chin length hair in a green shirt at the center, with an X drawn across his face through which an xray of his skull can be seen. The images around him are of a university campus with gothic architecture, dark flowers and ferns, chemistry glassware, a ring of sparks, a river delta, machinery, anatomical images, and a smithy. Text on it reads "THE BODY ABHORS A STRAIGHT LINE. FATE DOES NOT STRIKE IN A STRAIGHT LINE."

"On the surface, I smiled. I kept shoving thoughts down in to the hollowness that had opened inside me, but the harder I pushed, the more something else cracked. Pretending that everything was fine was choking something vital, something buried deep. But I kept smiling, hoping whatever I was strangling wouldn't suffocate completely."
