When the list of people who give a shit about you starts with the evil prince of demons, and ends with the vengeful avatar of a feral god, hating yourself comes naturally. Panha can't shake the fear that once the dark in her heart swallows her, she'll join the evil side. #DVPit #YA #F

With a penchant for making morally dubious choices and absolutely no magical ability, Panha lands at Takshila's magical academy ready to fight her way to the top. What she's not ready for is friends, self-love, & falling for a girl turning into a god. GideonTheNinth x TheNameOfTheWind. #DVPit #YA #F

My book features a magic university named Takshila.

It has three forests:

The blightmare bog: forever-dark, teeming with demonic owls and ghost-lights;

The autumnspring woods: fairies, nymphs, occasional forest-fires;

The winter forest: cozy cafes and sleeping Yetis.

Share yours. :)

The original pitch for Panha (my MC) was as follows-

An unmagical girl in a magical world, who survives on gadget-building skills and wit.

Oh, and she curses like a sailor.
