I am screaming and crying with joy for Seren!!! This book is hands down one of the best I’ve read this year (and my fave dark academia) so I need editors to be ready with their offers pls 🤍
serenkilig.com Seren Kilig 🌸 @serenkilig.com · Apr 30
Ultimately, the Sword picks the Scribe — but I think @shannonlechon.bsky.social and I work better as partners, wouldn’t you say?

After the most stressful month of my life, I thought I'd want rest, but no. We have so many more queer, cutting, and unflinchingly Filipino stories to talk about ~ 🪶
Seren Kilig is represented by Shannon Lechon at Azantian Literary Agency. Seren is depicted by a drawing from littlestpersimmon on Bluesky, which is of Seren’s character, Rivers. Rivers is a brown-skinned androgynous Filipino wearing a black cloak with cloth bandages around their neck. The background of the image is a grainy vintage picture of a university library. APPARATUS, an adult Historical Fantasy by Seren Kilig. The background is a grainy 2x4 moodboard centered around 1920s imagery. This imagery includes a flapper girl in a sparkly red dress, text that says “body & soul”, a dagger hidden in a book, a tube of lipstick overtop handwritten letters, red wine pouring into a glass, a deck of tarot cards, text that says “coffee and cigarettes”, and a red die with a miniature crown.

Hear ye, hear ye!

The MC of my adult romantic fantasy, aka the vigilante Night Bird, is wreaking havoc across New Oster. Who is her latest victim/man who deserved her wrath? She and her misfit group are cleaning up the streets, one creep at a time.

#UnhingedPit #A #F #R #Q
New Oster Daily Night Bird Strikes Again! The Mysterious Avenger Attacked a New Prey, Who Isn’t Talking Known libertine Brooks Houndston was found disheveled and roughed up at his social club two nights ago. Despite his attempts to cover the mark with his stylish hat, a distinctive brand peeked beneath the brim—the symbol of the Night Bird. This unknown protector of women seeks revenge for actual or perceived wrongs, which begs the question—what did Mr. Houndston do? We’ve asked, but he’s not talking. He’s holed up in his mansion and word is a magique has visited, perhaps to cover that distinctive mark? No one knows the Night Bird’s identity. In fact, no one’s ever seen her. It’s almost as if she’s invisible and can walk through walls.

A grief-torn healer, bent on vengeance against the god who claimed all she loved in death and decay, uses her craft to infiltrate the god’s court—entangling with a haunted heir, plagued by fated dreams of her arrival, who will stop at nothing to unearth her purpose.

#questpit #w #f #r #a
The House of Hemlock A WORK IN PROGRESS ONE DARK WINDOW meets STARLING HOUSE in this gothic dual POV adult romantic fantasy steeped in grief-torn promises, fate-bound strangers, and simmering tensions-where a house watches, gods scheme, and rot runs deep. The Opening There was truth in blood—meant to spill, drain life, stain the earth, and leave death grinning in its wake. The first gods knew it. They shaped the earth with rivers of it, winding red veins through stone and moss, tangling it into the roots of trees that cracked the sky open with their branches. Blood was the first language, the thread stitching life to decay, shadow to light. It was the beginning and the end, the thread through all things. It sang louder than prayers and bound tighter than oaths. It was promise and debt, offering and curse. The gods demanded it-again and again—until the earth grew slick, not with dew, but with what they were owed. But even gods forget. They never asked what would become of blood left too long untended. It rots. It rises. It remembers. The Vibes •Cursed magic and creeping rot (One Dark Window) •Haunted by prophetic visions (A Study in Drowning) •Nature’s eerie obedience (For the Wolf) •Gothic atmosphere and simmering tension (Down Comes the Night) •Sentient manor hiding secrets (Starling House) •Healing that defies the natural order (The Thirteenth Child) •Connection to death (Belladonna) A dark, spooky, nature-inspired gothic mood board
