Two women - an escaped slave and a street thief, both bonded to ancient draconic artifacts - must flee the grip of a powerful noble who wants their magic for himself, and escape the city where the sun never rises.

Two desperate women fleeing imprisonment.
Two draconic artifacts bonded to them.
A group of thieves who'll help them escape.
A powerful noble who'll do anything to get them back.
A secret that could ruin them.
A bond that could save them.
In a city where the sun never rises.

To quote "Space Opera" by Catherynne Valente:
A quote from "Space Opera" by Catherynne Valente, which reads: And Mira Wondeful Star had nuzzled down cozily between them like a big lanky cat, content for probably the last time in her life, and sighed out: "When the aliens come, there'll be one queue to fight them and one queue to fuck them, and the second one'll be longer by light-years."

Two men and a small child are standing by a traffic signal on an island in the middle of the road. All three are wearing shirts with DC Comics character logos. Both men look impatient; one is looking at his watch. A sign on the traffic signal reads "Wait here for green arrow."

Screenshot of a Twitter post from @caseyyrose: Someone who drowns in 7 feet of water is just as dead as someone who drowns in 20 feet of water. Stop comparing traumas, stop belittling your or anyone else's trauma because it wasn't "as bad" as someone else's. This isn't a competition, we all deserve support and recovery.

I bought this very cool squid from The Broken Circle last week and I love it. 🙂 Please take a look at their shop if you can.

An image in the older "motivational poster" style of meme. The picture shows Fire Lord Ozai from Avatar: the Last Airbender, laughing in an evil fashion with his eyes closed. Text below the picture reads "MARK HAMILL: Playing an evil father who attacks his son after finding out that he will be using his powers for good. If irony were strawberries, we'd all be drinking smoothies."

A picture of author J.R.R. Tolkien leaning against a tree, wearing a tweed suit and a green vest, along with a white collared shirt and a tie. A quote from him is in the upper left section of the picture: "Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."

Mood board for THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THE DARK, where two women bound to ancient draconic artifacts try to escape a city where the sun never rises.

I've always loved this mood board and I'm so happy I found pics that captured my characters so well, along with the setting and their magic. #BluePitHype

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Dr. Who," or "Transformers."
