Introducing my new WIP The Plague Gods, an adult horrormantasy. 💀 portal fantasy 💀 grumpy demon who needs kisses 💀 finding your place in the afterlife 💀 grief and forgiveness 💀 skin crawling eldritch monsters #A #R #H #WIPPIT
The plague gods on the background of a painting of a woman in a lake with a halo, her hands are boundWhen Abbie’s God Husband takes her to the God Realm, she quickly learns that gods can die.

Widowed in a world she barely understands, she develops an unlikely friendship with a demon trying to also find his place. They bond together influencing humans for good or evil, until their friendship becomes something more.

But when Abbie’s husband suddenly returns, the god is something else. Can she stay true to her vows to him and risk losing her demon? Or stretch herself so thin she breaks in the process?

An agent's guide to BLACK SPIRE WHITE BONE repost for #QuestPit #Q #DR #F My 104k dark adult romantasy Querying now :) 🏰 Labyrinth x Alchemised 🐍 a twisty plot 🧚 dark fairy tale retelling 🥀 enemies who yearn 🍎 a magic poisoned gothic world 👑 a king of monsters
A medieval painting of fruit with a split pomegranate with text that says Black Spire White Bone a dark romantasy, and Agents guide Text: Comps. Alchemised, dizzying plot twists in a wartorn magical world. The Serpent and the wings of Night, action-packed romantasy with banter and spice. Hemlock and silver, Horror dipped fairytale retelling. On a background of the same image, a dark painting of fruit with pictures of the book covers mentioned above Text on a black background: Pitch: To save her adoptive father, Eswyn leaves to fight a doomed mission alone. However, she's quickly captured and taken to the Skull King to be gifted as a concubine. With no want of a forced lover, The Skull King allows Eswyn to live safely in his castle, promising to release her once he's won the war. As her feelings grow for the enigmatic hermit sorcerer, a weapon is discovered that can kill him. Eswyn gives the Skull King her love and loyalty, vowing to help him to destroy it, even if it means betraying her people. But nothing is as it seems. Text: Snippet - "In my last memory of my mother, she puffed yellow balls of magic dust along her slender, azure fingers as she spooned me honey porridge. Little orbs of light bobbed like tiny glowing bumblebees before fading into nothing. It was the easiest spell we had. Something to teach children and distract toddlers at dinner time. The one spell she taught me. I didn’t have her long enough to teach me anything else. She was murdered before the flavour of honey faded on my tongue."

Protagonist, Love Interest, and Villain PoVs* Cordelia is a mermaid hunter who is cursed to come back to life as a flesh-eating siren after she dies at sea.
* She falls in love with a kind siren named Selene and keeps her identity a secret.
* When her family tries to kill Selene, Cordelia reveals herself to beg for mercy.
* Her adoptive brother gives her an ultimatum: return to the family fold and he'll leave Selene alone, or refuse and watch him slaughter everyone she's come to love."It was a child.
She shouldn’t have recognized it as such. The fish were a threat to society no matter their age. Creatures so vicious could hardly even be called animals, let alone people. Yet when she saw those eyes, all she could think was child. The same age she had been when her world nearly ended. The petrified whimper that drifted over the waves sounded the same as hers. In that moment, time stopped, and the difference that stood out to her wasn’t the sleek silver tail, but this: when Cordelia was scared, the people she loved had stepped in to make sure she knew she wasn’t alone.
The tiny mer had no one to stand in between it and the crossbow bolt pointed between its eyes. There was only the tremble of Cordelia’s own treacherous hands, and the fleeting, impossible thought that crossed her mind.
Am I a murderer?"

A red moodboard of fantasy images with text that reads 'His clothes were a mix of dark armour and velvet. Every hard surface was studded with faceted gemstones. He shone as great and repulsive as a pool of blood. a thin crown of obsidian sat around his head. Those same scarlet gems floated above it, bobbing in inky whispers of magic. I felt it licking at my skin, that terrible, terrible power.'

Movie poster-like image of a book titled "Beneath These Treacherous Waves". There is a picture of a mermaid swimming in the sea in the background. In the middle there are three pictures, one of a red haired woman, the other of a black haired woman, and the third one of two people kissing. The text on the top says: a warrior princess, a sea witch, a storm mage. The text in the middle says: "To save her country, she gives up everything---her voice, her fins, and even memories of her true love. But true love has other plans. The text on the bottom says: found family, queer yearning, now querying
