A guide to THE KEEPERS: #LiteraryFantasy with magic, found family, a matriarchal world, and the queens ready to burn all of witchkind ➡️Lose everything, find yourself ➡️Covens, cats, and queens ➡️Save the queen's life, accidentally spark a war #QuestPit #Q #F #A #AmQuerying #WriterSky
THE KEEPERS / A GUIDE is text overlaid on a moody mood board that includes: from top left and moving right: a black-and-white image of a person holding a glowing orb; red flames on black background; back view of a crowned woman waving ahead; windows opening to different views; large full moon in a black, cloudy sky; a black mirror in a silver frame; a wheel with 28 spokes leading to a crescent moon in the center; silhouette of a mother and child; black-and-white image of a keep on a hill.THE PITCH / Early life teaches Aleris that magic is dangerously abnormal, but when she finally accepts her own witchery she changes more fates than only her own -- text is overlaid atop a mood board including: a gold filigree crescent moon includes images clockwise from top left: old bound books and scrolls on a shelf; orange flames against a black background; a golden jeweled crown in a shaft of glittering sunlight; a merry fire in a hearth; a silhouette of mother and child; a richly adorned woman's hands holding a goblet of wine; a rendering of a wheel with spokes surrounding a moon; a series of windows in a stone hallway showing different outside views; and, in the center, a shadowed figure holding a glowing orb, with other shadowy figures in the background.Atop a backdrop of a burning building, text is overlaid: Still, she could fix it, she could fix it, she could fix it. Aleris raised her hands, moved to raise debris, when her outstretched arms were forced in an iron grip back to her sides. She fought, she reached her grey and heaved—"You'll ruin everything," Axana hissed over the flames. // At bottom of image, text reads: THE KEEPERS // @SarahGoehrkeWritesQuote inside celestial frame reads, "Magic is neither good nor bad, it simply is. As the Wheel simply is. It is what we do with our magic that defines us as witches, and what we do with the turns of the Wheel offered to us that defines our lives.” Bottom of image shares the title, THE KEEPERS, attributed to @SarahGoehrkeWrites

A grief-torn healer, bent on vengeance against the god who claimed all she loved in death and decay, uses her craft to infiltrate the god’s court—entangling with a haunted heir, plagued by fated dreams of her arrival, who will stop at nothing to unearth her purpose. #questpit #w #f #r #a
The House of Hemlock

A WORK IN PROGRESS

ONE DARK WINDOW meets STARLING HOUSE in this gothic dual POV adult romantic fantasy steeped in grief-torn promises, fate-bound strangers, and simmering tensions-where a house watches, gods scheme, and rot runs deep.The Opening

There was truth in blood—meant to spill, drain life, stain the earth, and leave death grinning in its wake.
The first gods knew it. They shaped the earth with rivers of it, winding red veins through stone and moss, tangling it into the roots of trees that cracked the sky open with their branches.
Blood was the first language, the thread stitching life to decay, shadow to light. It was the beginning and the end, the thread through all things. It sang louder than prayers and bound tighter than oaths.
It was promise and debt, offering and curse.
The gods demanded it-again and again—until the earth grew slick, not with dew, but with what they were owed.
But even gods forget. They never asked what would become of blood left too long untended.
It rots. It rises. It remembers.The Vibes

•Cursed magic and creeping rot (One Dark Window)
•Haunted by prophetic visions (A Study in Drowning)
•Nature’s eerie obedience (For the Wolf)
•Gothic atmosphere and simmering tension (Down Comes the Night)
•Sentient manor hiding secrets (Starling House)
•Healing that defies the natural order (The Thirteenth Child)
•Connection to death (Belladonna)A dark, spooky, nature-inspired gothic mood board

A collage of images starting top left and moving clockwise. Two women in white dresses running through a forest of dark trees. A large manor obscured by fog. A dark-haired woman with eyes downcast wearing a veil. A woman in a white dress staring away into the foggy field where a dark horse stands. Large wrought-iron gates at the end of a path lined with barren, dark trees. A man turned to the side, face obscured by his dark hair. At the center a woman wearing a white shirt with half her hair tied up with a white ribbon.

As she passed the open door to the master bathroom, she spied Jason's reflection in the large mirror above the double sink. He gazed at himself, his expression full of subtle sorrow: soft eyes, a down-turned mouth, slight tension in his eyebrows. Then he dropped the look, resuming blank neutrality, before putting it back on with the most minute variations.

After a few repetitions, he caught her staring. She nodded in approval.
