RAVENOUS SHADOWS

A collage shows rocky sea and a winged figure leaning over a cliff in the background. A red haired girl smiles amid pine trees. In the foreground a winged boy stands as inky shadows drift behind him.

Mood board containing six images with a dark vintage aesthetic: first image is a stack of vintage suitcases, second image is a young couple dancing, third image is an old fashioned steam train, fourth image is a pair of crows staring eerily at the camera, 5th image is a couple walking the train tracks together, 6th image is a reflected lantern in a puddle on a cobblestone Street.

Pitch: When the chosen Empress is assassinated, her disabled and gutsy ex-girlfriend must triumph over a dysfunctional family of ancient gods or submit to fulfilling the chosen’s grim fate as the gods’ eternal slave and weapon against mortals. 112,000 words Adult Crossover Fantasy Comps: Damsel (2024 film) Hannah Kaner’s Godkiller T. Kingfisher’s A Sorceress Comes to Call V. E. Schwab’s The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Themes & Tropes: - Forbidden Love - Hot Banter - Feminine Rage - Anti-Chosen - Found Family - Second Chances - Dark Humor - Identity - Friends-to-lovers - Faustian Bargain - Choosing vs. being chosen Representation: - LGBTQIA+ - BIPOC - Mental Health - Neurodivergence Excerpt: A gaunt mouse nibbled greedily at a stale bread roll left on my lunch tray. I didn’t have the heart to give her a name as I might lose her too. The cast iron rods of the bed dug into my ribs through the thin mattress. I clenched my jaw to keep my teeth from chattering. The medications I was forced to swallow left a cotton taste in my mouth and a dull ache in my skull. The lingering scent of mud and mildew hung in the air, a long-forgotten tomb. I was not allowed visitors or to walk in the fresh air outside. The faded floral pattern of the peeling wallpaper was my only reminder of life beyond these walls. I pulled the threadbare blanket tighter around my body, hugging my knees to my chest. It did little against the chill creeping into my bones. The raging blizzard had transformed the courtyard into a churning white sea, rattling the broken window shutters hanging askew. At least no screams echoed through the halls today. Moodboard: Dark fantasy Victorian vibes with purple color composition. Top row, left-to-right: a Byronic, handsome man in black, a palace, a dark figure burning in hell fire, a masked female assassin of dark complexion holding a dagger, a serpentine forest trail at night marked with red flowers. At the center next to a silver plume is the text: “This world, my dear, is the slaughterhouse of noble ideals.” Bottom row, left-to-right: a dark gaslit street, a gaslit city blanketed in coal smog at night, a young woman in a Victorian gown, wrought-iron gates opened to a foreboding foggy estate in the dark, a trail of red petals leading to a dark stone temple gate.
