Born common in a kingdom where magic is inherited, Alorah must survive the Arcana Trials to claim the power denied to her. But when rebellion stirs, she’s caught between a mentor who’d follow her into ruin and a best friend whose loyalty has turned dangerously obsessive. #DVpit #A #R #F #RF

Denied power at birth, Alorah must claim her magic during the Arcana Trials. When the Trials expose devastating betrayals and awaken her power, she's thrust into the brink of a rebellion while caught between a mentor who'd follow her into ruin and a friend who might drag her there. #DVpit #A #F #R

In 1930s New Orleans, Aphrodite risks the wrath of Ares, determined to win Hephaestus back after centuries spent hiding her truth behind the deceit that broke her marriage—only to find herself reclaiming the autonomy and power stolen by lies. #DVpit #A #R #F

A broken god. A relentless beauty. A betrayal forged by lies. Flawed among gods who measure worth in perfection, Hephaestus learned early that love was something to survive—not trust. 🦝A gods best friend is a raccoon 🪄Underrepresented Greek retelling 🎊1930s NOLA #Questpit #Q #A #F #R #HF #HR #RF

✨ What if Mulan had magic… and instead of being rejected as a bride, she was rejected by the gods? 🌪️ Forbidden elemental magic 🎭 A stolen identity ❤️‍🔥 A dangerously perceptive commanding officer ⚔️SONG OF THE SICKLE⚔️ #QuestPit #Q #A #F #R
Song of the Sickle, an adult romantic fantasy, 115,000 words, first in a planned series by Megan A. SaracenoThe pitch: She’s hiding her name, her past, her power.
He sees through her every lie.

Rejected by the gods, Tessa Whitaker brands a false divine seal into her flesh and steals her brother’s identity to save him from a war he won’t survive. But when her emotions manifest unblessed elemental magic, she catches the attention of her dangerously perceptive commanding officer. If he uncovers her secrets, execution will be the least of her problems.

She can survive the war.
She’s not sure she can survive him.
Comps A Fate Inked in Blood, Silver Elite, The Knight and the MothOpening lines:      Tomorrow, the gods would judge me.  
     Tonight, I pretended they didn’t exist.
 
     I swung the scythe through another row of wheat. My shoulders screamed, but at least the burn was honest. More honest than twenty years of prayers that had earned me nothing but silence.
Sweat carved tracks through the chaff dusting my skin, but I kept moving. One more row. One more bundle. Anything to keep my thoughts off tomorrow and the bare stretch of skin on my forearm waiting to be claimed., pictures include: military training camp, earth magic, amber ring, abandoned watchtower, and incense

If Mulan had magic and committed identity theft after being ghosted by the gods... And brought a sickle to a sword fight 🌾⚔️✨ #unhingedpit #a #f #r #q
AITA for committing identity theft after being ghosted by the gods?

I (20F) was publicly rejected by every god in existence during a mandatory religious ceremony. Everyone else got a divine seal proving a god had claimed them. I got sentenced to a life of prayer.Anyways, shortly after that, my brother was drafted into a divine war, so I stole his paperwork, forged a divine seal, and joined the army in his place. In my defense, it worked.Unfortunately, I accidentally developed unblessed elemental magic. Now my commanding officer keeps looking at me like he knows I'm lying, and recruits keep disappearing. Also, I may be developing feelings for home even though he could have me executed for treason. AITA?

TWISTED TETHER Rapunzel and Hercules become star-crossed in my romantic dystopian fantasy! ✨️Postapocalyptic Appalachian Fantasy✨️ ✨️Mythology✨️ ✨️Slow Burn Romance✨️ ✨️Found Family✨️ ✨️Hidden Demigod✨️ #questpit #A #D #RF #Q
Twisted Tether (98,000 words) is an adult dystopian fantasy romance, written in dual pov by T. A. Westy. The picture is of the FMC, Adara Hunt, who carries heretical brandings on her neck and back. Another image shows a scene from the swamps where Adara travels.  Only a god can kill a god.
 
A fugitive cursed with heretical markings travels postapocalyptic Appalachia in search of answers, accompanied by a secret demigod enlisted to spy on her and steal her magic. Gods monopolize magic in Adara’s world, where she must decide: follow the tether to Earth’s power, risking everything, or go back into hiding, to a life of pain and isolation. Both options threaten her relationship with Elias, who faces his own demons: obey his mother and the law, or do the unthinkable—defy the gods to protect Adara.

The image shows Adara Hunt (FMC), Elias Lindholm (MMC), and the raven familiar of the story, Belrue.Rapunzel and Hercules are star-crossed in my adult dual POV dystopian fantasy romance. Readers who vibe with the father-daughter dynamic in The Last of Us, the hunted female lead with earthen magic in Demi Winters's ROAD OF BONES, and the emotional complexity of love versus duty in Sue Lynn Tan’s IMMORTAL will devour this manuscript. 

Road of Bones: third-person close, lesser-known mythology, FMC hunted for her magic

Brothers Grim Rapunzel: confinement and longing for a naive FMC with moxie

Immortal: hidden identities, love vs duty, moral ambiguity 

Dwayne Johnson's Hercules: underrepresented demigod MMC, fate vs free will

The Last of Us: Father/daughter dynamic, found family
Opening Page of TWISTED TETHER by T. A. Westy

“I had a Dreaming of the god on the cliff, calling me to take the girl. I’ve ignored it, because fuck the gods, but I fear fate is afoot…” -Jax Curr journal entry, September 314 Awakened Age (AA)

Fayette, Jericho Province, Present Day June 324 AA

The ointment always burned before it soothed Adara Hunt’s wound. 
Though Uncle Jax’s arborist hands were calloused from years of cultivating his land, his fingertips moved nimbly over the sore, raw bit of flesh pestering her along her nape. She’d barely slept a wink last night, it ached so deep. Now, after a full day of tree climbing, cutting dead limbs, and harvesting felled logs—followed by the unfortunate detour at the willow grove—her limbs shook where she sat, hunched over a stool in his study.
He daubed a poultice onto the wound and murmured an incantation. His amulet glowed lilac, illuminating the dusky room. The flare reflected in his heterochromatic eyes, which narrowed on the twisting lines of her open brand. It curled just below her right earlobe, trailing along her hairline. 
She winced. 
He slowed. Softened. “Sorry, kid.”
“S’okay…” 
Steps sounded down the hall, and her cousin, Toby, stopped in the doorway. Eighteen months older at twenty-two, he possessed a square jaw and big baby-blue eyes, accentuated by deep red curls and smattering of freckles. 
Toby placed both hands on the frame flanking him. “The damn cow got out of the fence again. I’m gonna go track her down—I’ll make dinner when I get back.” 
Jax merely grunted from where he worked.
