The Title Page of the Agents Guide. The title of the book is THE STOLEN IDOL by Christopher Lee. It is a 86K word YA Fantasy. An image drawn and colored digitally by the author is in the center of the page. The image shows a broken opal colored disk in front of the Cat Si's golden eye. The Pitch: Winning a jousting tournament should be easy for a centaur, and it is, until the false horse head falls off Fotini’s shoddy disguise. She quickly steals the tournament prize, a golden idol, and gallops toward the forest ripping off her heavy jousting armor to outrun the tournament guards. When she arrives home to fulfill her contract, she discovers she accidentally ditched the idol with her disguise. Along with two fellow thieves, she retraces her steps praying the idol is still there. Hopefully it wasn’t cracked, or worse, found by a disgusting human. Seventeen-year-old Jaimie Whitfield is accused of being a fae changeling, a creature who kidnaps children and assumes their form. If he does not escape, he will be executed for impersonating himself. His father will then invade the fae kingdom to rescue a son who hasn’t actually been kidnapped, all because he saw Jaimie kiss another young man and would rather believe his son has been kidnapped than accept his sexuality. As he awaits his demise, Jaimie turns to the broken idol he found by the roadside with a quiet prayer. He doesn’t expect an answer, but is shocked when a mysterious black cat slips through his high tower window. Jaimie joins the shapeshifting cat known as the Cat Sí and the not fully human trio of thieves who dropped the idol to begin with. These outcasts race to warn the fae of the coming invasion. Along the way, Jaimie and his new friends learn long-forgotten secrets of how the Irish fae, the Cat Sí, and the Celtic gods are involved in an ancient feud with pantheons across the sea. Tropes and Themes: Found Family Generational Trauma Unrequited Love Betrayal Acceptance LGBTQIA+ Representation Celtic Mythology Greek Mythology Norse Mythology Egyptian Mythology Heroes Journey Small Trickster Fae Magical Girl Transformation For Fans of: Daughter of Sparta series by Claire M. Andrews New take on several ancient myths Mentions of gods from other lands Ancient setting Lore by Alexandra Bracken Original story with mythical characters Intense fight scenes She-Ra (Netflix) Lighthearted LGBTQIA+ representation Found family Scary cat lady

A moodboard in dark tones, featuring a painting of a blond man with chin length hair in a green shirt at the center, with an X drawn across his face through which an xray of his skull can be seen. The images around him are of a university campus with gothic architecture, dark flowers and ferns, chemistry glassware, a ring of sparks, a river delta, machinery, anatomical images, and a smithy. Text on it reads "THE BODY ABHORS A STRAIGHT LINE. FATE DOES NOT STRIKE IN A STRAIGHT LINE."
