A DEADLY EDUCATION x KATABASIS but make it sapphic.

🖤A witch with ‘control or be consumed’ magic
🖤A monstrous mystery
🖤A combative love interest with too many secrets
🖤A magical academy with too many libraries
🖤And an underworld realm with an (unhelpful) ghost

A shadowy school building, stars in the sky, and the text: an agents guide to the bells of le fay, adult dark academia fantasy, A. J. Sable The silhouette of a woman holding a ball of light in front of trees. The text reads: pitch, The price of magic is monstrous-literally. Lola Knight didn’t mean to murder her best friend. When her violent and volatile magic spirals out of control, instead of punishment, she’s enrolled in an elite magical academy to seek control before it kills again. But there she finds herself at the centre of a monstrous mystery; one that threatens the future of the entire witching world. A spell book lying open amongst candles and a mirror. The text reads: tropes, sapphic enemies to lovers, female rage, elite magical university, secret society, body horror, underworld realm. The shadow of a woman standing before a giant misty creature. The text reads: with the cathedral-like academy behind her, the gothic towers soaring above the treetops, it felt like she was in a fairy-tale. But if that were true, she was no princess. She was the monster they had to defeat.

A dark, blue themed collage. Is says: An Agent's Guide to The Earth-Shattering God. A 87,000 word adult fantasy novel by Lucia Judinova. In the middle is a veiled, mysterious woman, the sea angry behind her. Then a cropped picture of angry eyes, a clipart of a dagger and a vial. A quote that says: The feminine is not dead. Nor is she sleeping. Angry, yes. Seething, yes. A pitch. The background is brown and white themed, dark, a group of women from the back, all wearing white robes. It says: On the 100th anniversary of the gods' banishment, a common thief, anny Jame, accidentally uses her divine, elemental power and garners the attention of a ruthless cult wanting to bring the gods back. The priestess they send is everything she is not. Bianca is infuriating and beautiful, but mostly brainwashed by her Order. When Bianca learns Danny is her ticket to restoring the gods to their rightful place, she magically binds them together, forcing anny onto a reluctant quest to gather objects infused with godly essence. The background is dark and blue, a hallway, some pillars. There are comps: The Knight and the Moth, The Priory of the Orange Tree, Sweet & Bitter Magic, Godkiller, Six of Crows, A Dark and Drowning Tide. There is also a snippet fron the novel: Her vision tunneled. Moments before Danny passed out, the woman finally hurried closer. "So sorry!" she called, getting nearer. The pain receded and Danny collapsed to the ground, scraping her elbow. "I wanted to see if it worked. Terribly sorry about that. I'm Bianca." "Don't... care," Danny pushed through gritted teeth. Aftershocks of pain rocked her body, muscles tensing and unclenching "I had no other choice, Im afraid." Bianca knelt at her side. The rage channeled in Danny's gaze did not scare her off.She had the nerve to smile down at her. "You are a Link. A true, living and breathing Link. How wonderful to meet you." A blinding grin spread, showing incisors bent slightly to the sides. "We'll do great things together. Divine things, Daniela, absolutely divine." A dark collage: a woman raising rocks in the air, around a picture of a satin white robe, next to it a sweet, happy woman smiling, with long, blond curls. On the other side a picture of a medieval mercenary-looking outfit. Leather, boots, a dagger. Beneath a picture of a serious woman with short dark hair, face a little scratched up and bloody. Over the pictures, are the tropes and themes is bold blue lettering: girls supporting girls (rights and wrongs), powerful women, queer found family, sapphic love, forced proximity quest, battling propaganda and secret societies, magic stolen from gods with consequences, 'enemies to would kill for you' ragtag crew.
