Jelly the mermaid is determined to save the ocean, and as a warrior, she's not afraid to fight. She and her best friend surface to work with the magical people up top, uncovering a secret Fae plot to exterminate humanity and dominate the world once more. #Hopepit #Hopepunk books2read.com/u/4A06wq
The Mermaid's Wrath, book one in the Eco romantasy series by Andie Holman. In the center, there's a mermaid swimming for the surface. Clockwise: Top right, an evil Fae with pointed ears and fangs. Below him is a turtle caught in a net. Then a calm reef with orange fish, followed by a laughing dolphin. Top left is an orca leaping from the sea with an orange sky in the background. The Mermaid's Wrath by Andie Holman. A contemporary environmental fantasy, but I'm calling it eco-romantasy now. Book on in The Laughter of the Sun series. There's a turquoise yin yang in the center, made from mermaid tails, and int he center of each section there's a sun and a new moon. This is set on a background of waves and ocean currents.

My book is literally called HOPE! It comes out Nov. 11. The post-American continent is beginning to rebuild after the Collapse, the First Nations are leading the way, and a ragtag group joins together to build a home and family on the New Frontier.

An image of a book in front of a landscape of misty hills. The words Coming November 11th in orange at the top. The cover of the book is dark with the word "HOPE" in white letters. The O is replaced by a futuristic portal within which appears an image of a rustic house on a field of yellow grass. The words "A novel of the new frontier" appear in small letters at the very top, and the author's name, B.R.M. Evett, appears in blue letters under the title.

Vantis wants to become the world’s first necromancer and finally step out of his brother’s shadow. Unfortunately, there are a few things getting in his way:

💸 the sudden loss of his research funding

⚔️ an impending war
🌊 environmental disasters

A ship sails through a starry night. The stars are perfectly reflected in the still sea below. A massive dark shadow swims below the surface. Yellow text at the top reads: The Ocean Rising, a Climate Fantasy by Annie Carew. Yellow text along the bottom reads: adult fantasy. 110K words. Complex family dynamics. Necromancy and other strange magic.

This bloom is the Moonflower: what Gran described as the rarest plant of the century. And, just like every other flower, one that seemingly doesn’t exist. Yet, in my palm, it reaches for the white sun, glowing with a similar light. No friends to bloom beside it.

An #editorsguide to 🌲THE LAND OF UNDYING SUMMER🌲
This romantic fantasy has:
🐻‍❄️ A setting inspired by the Canadian subarctic
🌋Roots in animistic religion
⚡️A physics based magic system
👵🏽 Crotchety immortals
🏠 Complex family dynamics
🗺️ Neurodivergent MMC

An Editor’s Guide To The Land of Undying Summer by Ivy T. Woods Adult Romantic Fantasy 105,000 words On a background with a map With a picture of a mountain, forest, and a lake on the left and text on the right: Pitch When a half-dead priestess is forced to work with the wandering mage who nearly killed her, they develop a reluctant camaraderie. But when he kills a guard, her people’s distrust of the newcomer escalates into a full-scale uprising. His presence risks the lives of the only family she has left, leaving her to choose once and for all: is she beholden to the living, the dead, or herself? With roots in animistic religion and a setting inspired by the Canadian sub-arctic, THE LAND OF UNDYING SUMMER is a stand-alone romantic fantasy Comps The atmosphere and vibes of: The Gilded Crown by Marianne Gordon Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang The Humour of: Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher Chapter One - The End of Darkness No Guide could resist the Call of Return forever. But this time, when Tilaani pulled herself through the spiked rocks of the Wolf’s Fangs, trembling, the agonizing need for the missing part of herself had dulled to an aching throb. The Call would take her eventually. But not today. Today, she was already running late. “Shit!” Tilaani snatched her cloak from the icy stalagmite she had been using as a hanger and staggered to a slim crack in the cliff face. It had been a century since the passage had opened in one of El’Drek’s rages but the frozen stone was still jagged, tugging at her shirt as she sidled through, thin cloak clutched in one hand. Wind whistled through the crevice, peppering her exposed skin with hard snow. It melted, steaming as it touched her. Time within the cavern had always been malleable, misaligned with the world outside. Shinac had always claimed the shifts were random but Tilaani had her doubts. It always seemed to stretch whenever she was in a hurry. She wouldn’t put it past any of the dead—either blessed or Barred—to extend time merely to inconvenience her. And now, backing up this theory, the sun was high overhead and the few hours she had spent being lectured by the Ancients had become nearly an entire night and day in the land of the living. Allak would be insufferable if she was late.
