When Ley signs up for a competition to marry a prince, it's not for love but for revenge. To kill his mother for killing her own. Though Ley also has other problems... A vicious, pretty rival, a megalomaniac father, and powers that should be extinct but aren't. #P2Ppit #W #NA #F
Nine images and ripped paper reading "Is revenge worth losing everything?" in the center. The images feature from left to right - a red starry sky, a skull with a tilted crown atop its head and a fallen-over cup next to it, a girl with her back turned to the camera who has short red hair and is wearing a leather jacket, a chess piece knocking another chess piece over, a palace in the middle of the sea, a hand covered in fire, two girls about to kiss, a bloody door, and an ocean cliffside.

 	A gaunt mouse nibbled greedily at a stale bread roll left on my lunch tray. I didn’t have the heart to give her a name as I might lose her too.
 	The cast iron rods of the bed dug into my ribs through the thin mattress. I clenched my jaw to keep my teeth from chattering. The medications I was forced to swallow left a cotton taste in my mouth and a dull ache in my skull. The lingering scent of mud and mildew hung in the air, a long-forgotten tomb. I was not allowed visitors or to walk in the fresh air outside. The faded floral pattern of the peeling wallpaper was my only reminder of life beyond these walls.
  	I pulled the threadbare blanket tighter around my body, hugging my knees to my chest. It did little against the chill creeping into my bones. The raging blizzard had transformed the courtyard into a churning white sea, rattling the broken window shutters hanging askew. At least no screams echoed through the halls today.Moodboard:
Dark fantasy Victorian vibes with purple color composition. 
Top row, left-to-right: a Byronic, handsome man in black, a palace, a dark figure burning in hell fire, a masked female assassin of dark complexion holding a dagger, a serpentine forest trail at night marked with red flowers. 
At the center next to a silver plume is the text: “This world, my dear, is the slaughterhouse of noble ideals.” 
Bottom row, left-to-right: a dark gaslit street, a gaslit city blanketed in coal smog at night, a young woman in a Victorian gown, wrought-iron gates opened to a foreboding foggy estate in the dark, a trail of red petals leading to a dark stone temple gate.

An agent's guide to CAMP FEARLESS #Q #U #P2Ppit
an image of two pairs of white legs dangling off a dock, feet just touching the water. The title reads "CAMP FEARLESS", the caption reads "queer upmarket fiction, 96,000 words, dual POV"A background of pale skies and pine trees with the title "PITCH". The text reads: "Camp Fearless is where queer boys go to become healthy, happy, and heterosexual, but in the summer of 1998, camper David Avery cannot change the way he feels about his seemingly ex-gay counselor, Luke Kelly. And Luke, despite the purity-ring-wearing fiancé waiting for him at home, is equally fascinated with David. They become tangled in a reckless fling that ends in heartbreak, forcing David to flee the camp. 

Twelve long years later, when their paths cross in a Brooklyn bar, David is disgusted to find Luke is a conversion therapy superstar spokesman with a wife, two kids, and a secret Grindr profile. When Luke begs him not to expose their history to the press, David must decide what he owes to a man who is both a proponent and victim of the therapy that wounded them both." At the bottom is a picture of the book Swimming in the Dark by Toasz Jedrowski, and a picture of the movie But I'm A Cheerleader; two comps for this book.At the top is a polaroid of Luke Kelly, a blonde teenage boy looking away from the camera. The text next to it reads: "        When Luke was little, his father would tell him that God had x-ray vision. That he could peer down from heaven right into the pits and crevices of Luke’s heart, looking for lies. The idea had screwed itself tight into Luke’s child-mind. He would lie awake at night, thinking about it; God’s gaze, lunar, wheeling over Huntington Beach and looking for him." Beneath that is a polaroid of David Avery, a teenage boy with a necklace, earrings, and rings, looking away from the camera. The text next to him reads: "       David loves his mother’s voice. He wants to wrap it around him like a silk dress. But she is distant, tawny as a rabbit, with dark, dreaming eyes. His own eyes are pale as nickels. He does not look like her. Sometimes, he thinks, he does not look like anyone."
A wood-grain graphic background with the title SAMPLE. The text on the page reads: "     Luke puts a hand on the bar, steadying himself. He thinks: There must be some mistake. Because David is here, close-up and undeniable. He is taller, narrower, but otherwise unchanged; the puffy upper lip, the moon-eyes that are just as blue as when they were kids. Memory wells in Luke, like blood in a fresh wound. 
     David’s eyes swim, as though dreaming, to Luke’s shoulder, his chin. “Oh,” he says.
     “Sorry,” Luke takes step back. “I didn’t know.”
     “No, I…” David looks to the bartender, then around him, stunned. “I didn’t know either.” The dip of his neck, the tips of his ears, are flushing. Luke remembers, with the force of a slap, that blushing ear between his teeth. Something within him mashes to a pulp. 
     “I’ll go.” 
     “What?” David’s jaw drops. “Stay! Are you kidding? Luke Kelly. I can’t believe it’s you.”
     Luke winces at the sound of his own name, eyes knifing around the bar. He turns to leave but David grabs at his wrist. Feeling runs up his arm, bursts in his throat. 
     “Wait,” David says. “Please.” Inside his voice is an entire summer."

Behind the text is a piece of parchment paper surrounded by ocean water and gold flower outlines.Blurb:

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy…
Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes.
Five for Silver, Six for Gold…
Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them.

There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand.

TRUE HATE’S KISS

A jarl’s daughter must trick her enemy into kissing her to break a deadly curse on her family

~115 000 words
New Adult Romantasy
By Ann Glimmer
When a man from the enemy clan murders Älva’s father, she swears revenge. 
But then her family is cursed to die.
The only way to break the curse?
A TRUE HATE’S KISS
The man she hates the most must kiss her of his own free will.Scandinavian Iron Age (almost Viking Age)
Pretending to woo him while betraying him
Feuding clans = true enemies-to-lovers + forbidden love
Knife to throat
Complicated family dynamics
Magical swords and potions 
Fairytale creatures based on Scandinavian folklore
I trailed my hands up his muscular chest, locking eyes with him in what I hoped was an enticing gaze. “What do you want me to do?” 
His slow, predatory smile sent a shiver down my spine. “I want you to lose your mind so completely, you’re no longer aware of the sounds coming out of your mouth.” 
I swallowed. That was absolutely not what I’d expected him to say. 
Sliding my hands around his neck, I rose onto my toes, closing in on his mouth, but he dodged past my face, pressing his lips against my neck instead. My mind tangled with incoherent thoughts as his calloused hands stroked down my back to my hips. He tugged at my dress, but my belt held it in place. His fingers grazed my stomach and found the buckle, undoing it. With a thud, it fell to the floor. 
My knife! Now it was out of reach. Panic surged hot and cold through my veins. He was undressing me. By the spirits, he was undressing me! Why wouldn’t he kiss me? Wasn’t that how these things were supposed to start? The men I’d been with before had always kissed me as soon as we’d slipped away to be alone. 
His lips brushed my neck, sending shivers tingling down my spine. He tugged at my dress again, and my mind blanked as I raised my arms, allowing him to pull it over my head.

"If I scream, they'll believe anything I say," he said.  "Isn't that what you said?"

It’s the end of a hot Iowan summer, and twenty-four-year-old Matilda West is gearing up for her sophomore year of college at Oak Ridge University. A scholarship student, she is swayed by the suggestion of her favorite professor to join a study group he’s created for his Classical Mythology course. The students in the group adopt her quickly, but Matilda’s past has made her wary and anxious of new people and their intentions.
When she finds herself drawn toward two of the people in the group, including an unexplainable feeling like she’s met one of them before, Matilda is thrown in the middle of a situation she couldn’t have seen coming. Weird dreams and the fact that her life might not be what she thought it was force Matilda to question whether her fate was already decided, or if someone else is pulling the strings…  How does one juggle school work, healing trauma, finding love, and supporting a diverse community, while also fighting for their fate and the rest of the world?

✨Witch✨ A word. An identity. It becomes an accusation. And, after Aleris accepts that's what she is and uses her magic to save a life— Witch becomes a death sentence. Decisive queens in this matriarchal world don't take kindly to witches playing with fate 🔥 #P2Ppit #Q #A #NA #F #LiteraryFantasy
Against a backdrop of a moon in a night sky, an image of torn paper has written on it the following: "Witch," the moon whispered in the night. The same word her sister had whispered, but the thing that turned her stomach now was not dread but hope. // At the bottom, text reads: THE KEEPERS / @SarahGoehrkeWritesImage is black toned; a silver-framed black mirror with orange/red fire burning in it has overlaid text reading: These witches, now dead, were real people, were much more than images in a mirror. Bottom text reads: THE KEEPERS // @SarahGoehrkeWrites

🔥Queens have put up with magic for so long, but Queen Daphne's near-death experience changes that perspective for her. She's ready to burn them all. ✨Witches, though, know the truth: magic itself is neither good nor bad. They just want to live as they were born. #P2Ppit #UW #Q #F
Quote 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
