What if the Arabian Nights-inspired world of THE STARDUST THIEF met the seafaring adventure of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN but with the Islamic mythological monsters of SPICE ROAD?

ONE THOUSAND AND ONE VOYAGES is a YA retelling of Sinbad the Sailor 🌊🏴‍☠️🦜 #GhostPit #Q #YA #F #OWN
An Agent's Guide To ONE THOUSAND AND ONE VOYAGES by Ayishah Hasni. Pitch: In a YA retelling of SINBAD THE SAILOR, a snarky pirate must accompany a cheerful princess on a journey across the monster-filled Indian Ocean to rescue her fiancé from a moving island. Comps: The Stardust Thief, Spice Road, Pirates of the Caribbean and Fable. Though Prince Zakar of Marjan was not particularly knowledgeable about nautical affairs, he did not think that being chased by an island was a common part of sailing. It started off as a speck on the horizon only visible through a spyglass, but soon grew recognizable even to the naked eye. It formed a craggy silhouette of mist-shrouded mountains, verdant jungles, and a long, flat beach that wrapped around all sides. It may have also been a pretty sight had it not been cutting through the water like the hull of a Spanish galleon. The crew of the Badr Basim ran frantically about the deck, unfurling the lateen sails to snag the wind at the perfect angle. Still, though the dhow had been designed for easy navigation and swift escapes, it carried a heavier load than most. Multiple chests containing gold, jewels, and expensive trinkets had all been stocked inside the cargo hold, each of them meant to be gifts for the princess of Jahanara.

“Love is the greatest blasphemy of all.”

In a world where faith is spectacle and silence is survival, a fallen star reborn in mortal flesh must choose: remain a prisoner of worship—or burn the temple down with her light.

A temple bound in ice. "She waits for him - Breath of Starlight" The Hook: In a world where faith is spectacle and silence is survival, a fallen star reborn in mortal flesh must choose: remain a prisoner of worship—or burn the temple down with her light. Auryn is a fallen star—reborn too soon, bound in breath and soul to an immortal guardian, Kailorien. Worshipped as a miracle. Feared as a heretic. Hunted for the silver in her veins. Kailorien would protect her at any cost—but his love may strip her of her future, her freedom, and her voice. Now, as the Cycle of Dark swallows the sun and summons ancient monsters to devour the living, Auryn must choose: will she become the myth the faithful demand... or the reckoning they deserve? Setting: Set within a kaleidoscope of non-Western-inspired landscapes and cultures, Breath of Starlight is a story where gods bleed silver, lovers speak in lullabies, and a girl can go from bare toes in the grass to stitching the heavens shut in the same night. The smallest gestures ripple into eternity: an argument over socks, a hand finding an earring, a word whispered in exhaustion. A diverse and trope-defying cast challenges expectations at every turn—from a rebellious star dismissed as too small to matter, to villains who are both monstrous and heartbreakingly human. Comps: Breath of Starlight is an adult epic fantasy with strong romantasy and upmarket crossover appeal, complete at 100,000 words. This story is designed to stand alone but is also positioned as the first in a trilogy. It combines mythic scope with character-driven intimacy, weaving lyrical prose and emotional depth in the spirit of Alix E. Harrow’s The Once and Future Witches (for its lyrical feminism and reclamation of power), N.K Jemisin’s The Inheritance Trilogy (for its intricate worldbuilding and themes of cyclical catastrophe), and Samantha Shannon’s The Priory of the Orange Tree (for its sweeping scale, divine legacy, and romantic undercurrent).

🖤Touch Him & Burn
🖤Kiss Her & Die

This curse doesn’t keep Simone from wanting to put her hands on Jadriel.

Good and cruel gods *all* she wants is to touch him—even if it burns her from the inside out.

But, if she lets him kiss her, it'll kill him.

There's a reason magic was silenced. Who will bring it back? The sorceress who will tear down empires, the smuggler with split loyalties who doesn't believe it exists, or the warrior who would die to keep it secret?

Quiet teacher, Ella, is not a psychopath – she’s just very committed to her anti-bullying policies. The kind that involve zip ties, knives and plastic sheeting.
And if you stay cruel and remorseless as an adult, she’ll teach you one final, bloody lesson. 👻🔪

Do you want to know a secret?

Alice doesn’t recommend it. Secrets lead to curses and accusations, quests and fighting for your life. Admittedly, they can also lead to unexpected friendships and a world of magic. Proceed with caution.
