More vibes for YIELD, my adult romantic fantasy novel #currentlyquerying

Do you like stories that blend romance, adventure, and humor? Do you like books that make you laugh and then rip your heart out? Tales that are cozy *AND* dark? 🧚🏼

✨ dark NARNIA x MY LADY JANE ⚔️

A missing faerie. A forbidden elixir. A whole lot of missteps.

One reluctant princess’s quest to right her wrongs.

She craved freedom. What she found could cost her everything.

1-paragraph pitch for YIELD, a 100k adult romantic fantasy debut novel. Book comps for YIELD include Assistant to the Villain, Emily Wilde’s, One Dark Window, Nettle and Bone, the Cruel Prince. Media comps are My Lady Jane meets a dark, adult Narnia. YIELD will appeal to fans of: queer characters, a golden retriever MMC (with teeth), one “horse,” cozy AND dark, women’s wrongs, romantic subplot (but still spicy), found family, knife to throat, slow burn(s), and reluctant allies to lovers. A snippet from YIELD in which Thea, the main character and POV, threatens Brynn, her reluctant guide, with a knife to the throat.
