Graphic contains "An Agent's Guide to: Mark of the Horde" manuscript by Isana Santiz. The background is a dark star-flecked sky with an image of a dragon. The dragon's eye is shining warmly like an exploding sun but there are three black slashes across the dragon's face. The graphic displays the book comparables for Mark of the Horde manuscript keeping the same theme of a star-flecked night background as the first graphic. The comps are: THE WITCHER for it's gray world, creature fantasy, and people as conduits magic system. THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER for it's multi-POV, secrets theme, and forbidden power. Finally SABRIEL for it's necromancer hunters, found family and objects of power tropes. This graphic holds an artist rendering of two skull masked figures on a white beach with a rocky background. One of the masked figures is smaller than the other with dual short swords and a bandolier across her leather armor. The taller figure is wielding a sword. Their matching outfits and masks are in grey tones. Shadow magic swirls off them. The artist rendering included in this graphic is of Hellkite: the female protagonist of Mark of the Horde. She's wearing the black leather armor for her status as an Elite Officer of the Torvé Messor (grim reapers serving the grand leader of the Horde). Hellkite is known as the Dragon grim reaper because her mask makes her appear like a dragon, it is black but highlighted in gold. She is fully covered with a cowl and is even wearing black gloves, as a Torvé Messor can never be identified by anything other than their masks. Shadow magic hovers around her legs and plays across her dual twin swords, making the illusion complete that she is a grim reaper, an immortal creature that guards the dead abyss. The writing in the graphic reads: "For the past thirteen years the Horde has ruled over the conquered holy lands of Dercas under the supreme rule of AREBOS, the ALPHA of all. For the first time in centuries, people are free to be masters of their own fates. One of these is HELLKITE who, through sheer will and brutality, was able to rise from nobody to the greatest warriors within the Horde, the Torvé Messor. When her last mission goes awry, Hellkite goes against orders to save innocents from the clutches of a Necromancer. The defiance cost her as it leads to the death of her beloved sister. Hellkite’s world begins to spiral. Riddled with guilt, Hellkite begins to question everything she ever knew. The deeper she dives into her sister’s final mission regarding a holy relic, the more distorted the truth becomes. With the help of her Torvé family, Hellkite break into the Alpha’s vault to steal the relic. In the vault, she finds the world is heading to destruction, all orchestrated at the hands of the ones she trusted most. Hellkite must resort to trusting her sworn enemies, the Rebellion, only then will she be able to unravel the secrets of the vault's relic before the world is consumed by the Dead Abyss."

Shade is a ghost of the fallout which remade their land centuries ago, until the humans she loves are threatened and she evolves into a Shadowcast—a corporal being of immense power—to save them, but it wasn’t enough as raiders took captives...
#posterpit #posterpitW #NA#SF#R
Poster description for Work In Progress SHADE (Approx end project WC 75K): The text reads ‘Coming Soon’, below reads ‘Death wasn’t the end, it was our beginning.’ This post-apocalyptic tale of wasteland justice will appeal to fans of the show Fallout and paranormal science fiction. Pitch: Shade is a ghost of the fallout which remade their land centuries ago, until the humans she loves are threatened and she evolves into a Shadowcast—a corporal being of immense power—to save them, but it wasn’t enough as raiders took captives. She must make a deal with a Shadowcast hunter, whose poker face is as perfectly honed as his blades, to track down the raiders before her friends are lost forever.

Hellkite is at the top of the Torvé Messor as death’s perfect reaper, until the day she disobeys to save the innocents of the Saltwoods from being devoured by creatures straight out of Caribbean folklore, the loup-garus—the disobedience will have her losing more than just her soul.

Wind cut through the dense air that had collected around the men, picking up bits of saliferous dust from the mines at the edges of the Saltwoods. Kyros Harel had no plan of execution. Bloody abyss, he didn’t even have a clue as to what was causing it.

Salted Wounds Manuscript imagined as a movie poster. The poster depicts a Spanish architecture arched corridor with two hooded and masked figures in the forefront. Between them it reads: "To beat the darkness that lurks in the Saltwoods, death's hunters must be summoned, it's time to call the Torvé Messor". At the end of the corridor lies a forest wreathed in a misty night, two shadowed figures are fighting. Beta and Editor Reviews on Salted Wounds. They mostly mention the story's elaborate world and character driven plot that makes the book unable to be put down. Highlights about the writers ability to craft a story, are also mentioned. Many wish to buy the book. The image is broken down into three sections: The Pitch, Comps & Themes, and misc. info. The Pitch: Hellkite is at the top of the Torvé Messor as death's perfect reaper, until the day she disobeys to keep the innocents of the Saltwoods from being overrun by creatures straight out of Caribbean folklore, the loup-garus. The Disobedience will have her losing more than just her soul. Comps include: Witcher, Old Kingdom Series X Three Musketeers, Throne of Glass & ACOTAR, and From Blood and Ash This image holds a writing sample of the first chapter.
