She prepares to join the Guild who will do anything to protect her home.

Even in a city filled with telepaths and telekinetics Sylin was born to be a killer. She is nearing her initiation to the Char-Tesh Guild and is preparing to set off into the desert to defend against the reptilian Stalkers who threaten her home. While this should be a time of pride and passage the Guild is plagued by visions of the ‘Strangers’ who come to bring them ruin. She must rely on her found family and Guildmates to survive a battle they have long odds of winning. At the same time the Guild Masters play a shadowy game of power and politics where the ends always justify the means. Even if it means taking her fellow Guildmate and turning him into a monster.

Dear Citizen of Calasca,
Pack your bags! I am happy to extend an invitation for you to join us on LAST CHANCE MATCH, a new reality holovision program where LOVE ISLAND meets SQUID GAME and BLACK MIRROR. We can promise you’ll find the one who’s to die for.

#bluepit📖 #bluepit #NA #R #H #SF #SP #W
Above view of paradise dock on a beach with words overtop. Find the one who's to die for An agent's guide to LAST CHANCE MATCH New adult dystopian romance thriller with horror elements Above view of paradise dock on a beach, blurred, with words overtop. Pitch: Calasca’s government uses science to appoint soulmates, but the 0.6% of the population who don’t receive a match face extermination at thirty. A new reality show, Last Chance Match, sets out to change that and gives the matchless another shot at life. Down-trotted waitress, Cera accepts the invitation, but is quickly deflated when she’s paired with the cocky and entitled Ryde. The show takes a dark turn when a fellow contestant is killed after being eliminated, forcing Cera and Ryde to fight for their happily ever after—and to make it out alive. Above view of paradise dock on a beach, blurred, with words overtop. Comps: THE VILLA by Ruth Kelly - dating show setting, twisted games, desperation to win HEART OF THE SUN by Mia Sheridan - 'enemies' to lovers, second chances, dystopian love story THE KILL FACTOR by Ben Oliver - winning = freedom, life or death consequences, strong female protagonist LOVE ISLAND - Love Island-inspired dating show SQUID GAME - games created for a killer time BLACK MIRROR - dystopian future with sci-fi twists Above view of paradise dock on a beach, blurred, with words overtop. Snippet: The silhouette of a woman approaches us, but her flawless skin is a dead giveaway that it’s a humanoid. The older you get, the easier it is to spot them; their skin is free of blemish, not even a tiny scar indented into their bodies. Their eyes are shiny—too shiny—and their smiles lack depth, character, and warmth. Though the government will never admit it, they’ve started to release more and more of these bots into Calasca to act as companions for the matchless. They’re chameleons, taking on whatever persona they need to hook into you. The most unsettling part about them is how predatory they can be, entering the neighborhoods of the low-end and matchless. They even have a slot on their abdomens for payment. I shiver when the humanoid’s too-perfect eyes land on me, its bone-chilling grin never faltering. “Contestants,” it says so matter-of-fact, yet there’s a sweetness to it. An eerie kindness I can’t ignore. God, I hate humanoids.

She had no idea what palace servants looked like, or whether they’d scurry, but playing make-believe helped keep her mind off more pressing issues, such as – for example – her impending death.
