It's #QuestPit, so here's an agent's guide to my dark retelling, BEARSKIN 🕯️✨ A tale of winter magic, tragic romance, and embracing the monsters within.

WHERE THE DARK STANDS STILL X MY LADY JANE

#W #YA #RF
A cover page with a polar bear in the background. The text reads: An Agent's Guide to Bearskin, A Fairytale Retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon The Pitch: There’s a troll in Freya Perin’s attic that only she can see, and it’s ruining her flawless reputation. Arranged to wed Kolsevic’s most eligible bachelor, Freya is determined to keep her visions a secret and leave her family’s scandalous legacy of madness behind. But when dark magic freezes her sister’s heart, only Freya knows the truth: a mythical creature called the Frost King is waking. Her only hope for a cure lies deep in the northern mountains, a place steeped in the very magic she’s spent her life hiding from. The journey is treacherous, and desperation forces her to form a pact with Soren, a notorious thief with secrets of his own. Freya and Soren must race to rescue her sister and stop the Frost King from unleashing an eternal winter . . . whilst resisting an attraction that threatens to destroy everything. Comps, Themes & Tropes image. Includes the following comps: Where the Dark Stands Still, The Thirteenth Child, Spinning Silver, and My Lady Jane. Includes the following themes: Dark fairytale retelling, Wicked betrayals, Forced proximity, Yearning, Wintery Ambience, Magical plague, Morally grey FMC, Generational curses The Opening: Freya Perin pretended not to notice the troll lurking in the corner of the parlor. No one else saw the creature, of course, but its beady eyes bored into her skull all the same. It snapped its gnarled fingers once. Twice. It hissed. “Look at me.” Beneath a placid smile, Freya gritted her teeth and focused her attention on her future husband’s well-oiled moustache. After their wedding, that would be the first thing to go.
