Shadow's Gift, An Agent's Guide. Character-driven Adult Fantasy. WC 101,000

Comp Titles: Midnight Bargain, A Song to Drown Rivers, The Jasmine Throne

Pitch: When Syrala learns the queen severed her subjects’ souls to gain power, she must outwit the queen to restore her own soul and subvert the dynasty, even if it means betraying her husband, the prince she’s learning to love.

When emptiness gnawed, Syrala painted. Her grandmother taught her: Seek solitude and focus on your art. Allow space for emptiness, and listen. It will help. For now.

Weeks of palace banquets, hunts, counterfeit smiles, and saccharine small talk would culminate tonight in the Selection. The queen had ordered the candidates to prepare: to meditate on the teachings of the Goddess Viera. The others had filed into the prayer hall in a public demonstration of obedience. But court activities and judgement had worn at Syrala until she was as parched as clay earth before the seasonal Rains. At the oppressive thought of another hour with preening candidates, the emptiness threatened to consume her. She yanked off her palace silks, threw on a simple cotton blouse and skirt, snatched up her painting bag, and bolted out into the unforgiving afternoon sun, and into the water gardens.

AN EDUCATION IN MALICE x PETER PAN A cranky immortal & a smug pirate are forced to work together in order to save their loved ones from their common enemy: Peter Pan. ⚔️Enemies to Lovers 💀Dark Reimaginings 👩‍❤️‍👩Bi FMC × Lesbian FMC 🫂Found family 🌶️Spicy Sapphics 🩸Pan-pires #YouDeservepIt #WIP #A #F #H

FOREVER IS A VERY LONG TIME
The Pitch
When Gwen was a girl called Wendy Darling, she met someone who promised her freedom and love, and all it cost her was her humanity and everyone she ever loved. A century later, she’s trying to claw some of it back thanks to a 15yo named Mona, who’s awakened a long lost sense of family.
When Capt Hook was a girl called Rosie, she met someone who promised her adventure, and all it cost her was her family and sense of security. After twenty years of fighting monsters shaped like children, this pirate captain is running out of steam, until her long-time nemesis gives her an ultimatum she can’t refuse.
Forced to work together, the cranky immortal and smug pirate will have to put aside their animosity and work together to save a family neither knew they needed. Along the way, they might find the love of a lifetime…if they don’t kill each other first.

FOREVER IS A VERY LONG TIME
Excerpt
‘All children, except one, grow up.’ That is how the classic line goes.
When I was nineteen-years-old, however, I learned the tragic lesson that that wasn’t always the case.
Disease ruthlessly ravages innocent lives, while famine mercilessly snatches away their dreams. Violence lurks within the depths of strangers' hearts or, more tragically, a family member’s. And let us not forget the sheer cruelty of random happenstance, which has regularly inflicted its unspeakable horrors upon them. Throughout the annals of time, no demographic has endured more anguish and torment than those innocents who never had the chance to experience the complexities of growing up.
And amidst this unfathomable sorrow, for longer than our history can even dare to measure, there has existed the enigma of Pan, the taker of children…my tormentor…

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. #youdeservepit #wip #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

THE GIRL IN THE MEADOW
by H. L. Docherty
Romeo and Juliet meets The Hunger Games in this 119k New Adult Fantasy Romance

Opening Lines:
A burnt-out sign lay in our tattered front yard, face to the sky. Mum's blue eyes flashed as she stared at the smouldering pile of trash. Beneath the scorch marks, the faint words
'Welcome to Harroworth Central College' could still be made out. Someone had burned the college entrance sign in our garden, scrawling 'Scabs not welcome' across it.
Scabs. Always that word. Like we were nothing more than dead skin, picked at until we bled. Anger bubbled up, threatening to spill over. I wanted to scream, to burn their precious city to the ground, but I shoved the fire back down my throat until it was ember in my stomach. Like always.

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.
