Pitch

When Minna is offered a place weaving the winds—and protecting the ship from monsters—on one of the largest ships in the Fleet, it comes with a catch: her betrothal to the Deckmistress’ son. Bullied by her mother, Minna takes the deal, surprised to find that her betrothed and her new Deckmistress are actually quite tolerable.

But when they capture one of the monsters terrorizing the Sea of Sorrows, Minna is forced into the role of jailer while they interrogate the monster, trying to find a way to destroy them. But as Minna’s prisoner proves herself to be surprisingly human, Minna becomes intent on saving her from her inevitable execution, going against her Deckmistress, her betrothed, and the entire crew. But the other monsters are drawn to their own. And they are coming.

First Lines

The body was bloated, thick veins of black running beneath the sun-dark skin, branching out from the missing chunk of flesh in the dead man’s shoulder. The corpse’s salt-stained trousers had caught on a twisted spike of driftwood, leaving the body to rise and settle with each rush of water up the golden sand.

“Fucking seas,” Minna muttered. “Is he washing in or out, do you figure?”

Her father grunted, squatting to pluck the torn and bloody pants off the broken branch anchoring the dead man to the shoreline. The next wave rushed in and claimed its prize, greedily sucking the body down the beach as it withdrew.

“I suppose we’ll see.” Her father shielded his eyes, silver hair shining in the rising sun as he squinted inland. “It can’t be too old.”

Hanna Patrick is Querying @hannapatrick.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Covenant of the Damned (119k rom. fantasy) in microtropes! When the Lord she’s sworn to protect is poisoned, a headstrong guard reluctantly allies with a loathsome king to find the Holy Grail before the Lord dies or the relic falls into the hands of evil sorcerers. #Q #RF #F #A #QuestPit

Cover slide to introduce the microtropes that you can expect to see in "Covenant of the Damned," a 119k romantic fantasy that is now querying. The background is an ethereal oil painting

the microtropes listed are: reluctant allies, only one horse, he's been thirty for the last 230 years, elemental-based magic systems, lady knights, she's the chosen one, and he tends to her wounds. There's an icon of a computer cursor hovering over a box that says "select all," to indicate that all microtropes are present in "Covenant of the Damned"

On this slide there is a painted hand holding a sword and a repetition of the pitch. The image also states that this book is perfect for fans of [Lady] Knights of the Round Table retellings and every Gilmore Girls stan who was rooting for Rory to end up with Jess Mariano.
