A Shadow Gifted A trauma forged woman binds herself by blood to a powerful Fae male, whose secret ambitions throw her into lethal succession trials where the greatest threat may be herself #Questpit #Q #A #F #R #DR

Text reads: An Agent's Guide to A Shadow Gifted by Jamiee R Murphy, 99K words, Adult fantasy/romantasy. Background is a forest with a scroll holding the book title.

Pitch of the book: a trauma forged woman binds herself by blood to a powerful fae male, whose ambitions throw her into lethal trials where the greatest threat may be her mind. To win a throne, Arryn needs a mortal champion. To survive her past, Meira must endure a cutthroat succession competition and a bond she can't break. If Meira wants to end this, she must choose: keep running from those haunting voices of her past or vanquish those fears to save the life of the first person who saw her potential. The title A Shadow Gifted is placed over the image of a sword, with the rest of the text in a scroll image. There is a golden border around and at the back is an image of a forest.

The image depicts the four comp titles for this book. Images of each book include the Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon with an arrow pointing to the words high stakes and deadly connection. The next is the serpent and the wings of night by carissa Broadbent with an arrow from it pointing to dark romance and political intrigue text. Below those, is the Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L Jesen with an arrow pointing to text that says female spy and internal war. The final book at the bottom is Court of Blood and Bindings by Lisette Marshall with the text being pointed from it that says forced bond and moody atmosphere. The background is a faded forest picture.

The image is a collage of images. The top row shows a crown and dagger laying on the ground, a blue darkened forest with trees, a black and white hazy picture of trees with a hooded figure standing in the middle. The next row shows a woman raising a sword in the air, the next is a woman in a forest with a green cloak with a hood that hides her face, the final image for that row is a forest with a stone wall in front of it and an arched doorway in the middle leading to the forest. The row on the bottom of the page displays a book laid open with a filled vial and a pressed flower on top, the next image is a a set of hands holding the hilt of a sword next to an orange flash of light, the next is a castle on a mountain with a sunset behind it, and the final image is a woman in a gown with her hands/arms around the neck/shoulders of a male with their faces about to kiss. There are texts placed throughout the document that say the following: deadly trials, shadow spy, trauma fored, emotional character arcs, dark romance, found family, bound by blood. The middle to left side of the page has a scroll with the title A Shadow Gifted on top of it. There are vines of greenery dispersed throughout the page and gold corner accents in the top left and bottom right corners

Moon with horoscope overlay in a purple and blue space background. The title LOWLIGHT is in the center of the moon with the subtitle “When the woman of your dreams becomes your worst nightmare” underneath followed by the pitch in the post. Below the pitch is “Adult horror fantasy,” “93,000,” and “Inspired by Sleep Token lore and the Orpheus myth.” Pictures of comparable titles follow and include the mythic redemption arc of Carissa Broadbent’s THE SONGBIRD & THE HEART OF STONE, immortal rockstar vibes of Anne Rice’s THE VAMPIRE LESTAT, and the goddess/mortal romance of Rebecca Ross’s WILD REVERENCE. To the left of these is the title, “What You’ll Find” and lists gothic and surreal atmosphere, plots twists, and dense mythos. A second title, “Themes On” follows and lists Self-love vs. Self-Sacrifice, power dynamics in relationships, and religion and deconstruction.

In an alternate Regency era where magical abilities are called Gifts, ladies and gentlemen with improper Gifts are shunned from high society. Lucy Korvas has hidden a pair of giant, unladylike crow’s wings beneath her dresses for years, but must risk exposing them to save her ill father. Lord Simon is about to be disowned for his delicate, flowery Gift. The only solution for them both lies in stealing the Duchess’s diamond necklace. But when Lucy and Simon are cursed while trying to steal the necklace, they must survive high society, evade the villain who cursed them, and find a cure — or Simon will dissolve into petals and Lucy will transform into a crow."

If you like: 🔮Elemental magic 🔥Slow burn romance ❤️‍🔥Strangers➡️lovers➡️enemies ⚔️Fierce female protagonists 💖LGBTQIA rep on the page 🤪All the banter Then this one’s for you! COVENANT OF THE DAMNED is a 119k rom. fantasy querying now #Q #RF #A #F #QuestPit

The title “covenant of the damned” is laid over a painting of a man being knighted by a queen. The text indicates that it is a dual point of view 119k word holy grail romantic fantasy book

Painting of a hand holding a sword in the background. The text indicates 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. The image also includes the following text pitch: 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.

Photos of different comps are on this slide. This book comps Bridgerton season 2 and the Princess Bride movie for slow burn romance. It compares the elemental magic system to the one in Stacey McEwan’s “A forbidden alchemy” and draws a comparison to Rachel Gillig’s “The Knight and the Moth” for Lady Knight elements. It also compares National Treasure and “The Will of the Many” as comps for epic quests

moodboard depicting the vibes of the book including: a coastal landscape, medieval architecture, swords, a couple dancing in a ballroom, a blonde woman, green silk, stained glass windows, a coronation, and knight armor

He turned to the witch-who, in some instances, had become like a friend to the captain, in only a way that a man without humanity and a centuries-old witch could be. An unspoken agreement hung between them. "Why did you agree to teach me? I have heard that no one leaves your cottage alive." The captain said.
"The blood shows all. Men want power, they want riches, they want to be adored and envied.
Their blood is sour, thin, and undeserving. Yours was thick and hearty but mostly full of sorrow.
It held the story of a man greatly wronged.
Revenge is a form of fate. Destiny and vengeance go hand in hand if the universe deems it a worthy enough cause. And destiny, it seems, is not finished with you quite yet."

The Pitch: When a dragonslayer becomes a dragon, he must come to grips with his new body, befriend another dragon, and reject the evils of his imperial home to survive being hunted down by his human friends.

A magical city, and imperial indoctrination... (Blood Over Bright Haven Cover) ...meets transformation trauma... (Animorphs Cover) ...and a hint of draconic wonder. (How to Train Your Dragon Poster)

A mood board of images from pinterest, interspersed with commissioned art of a blue dragon from pocketss, Flatw00ds, and Fimbry. Text appears over the images: Transformation, Personal Stakes, Asexual Dragon MC, Coming of Age, Struggles of Self-Worth in the shadow of Imperialism

An excerpt of text next to an image by pocketss of two dragons talking:

"Every single time you could've done a sensible thing, you did the exact opposite.” She chuckled, looking off into the distance. "About the time you started crying over a little fire, I honestly thought you were joking. And that ridiculous thing with your claws..."
Pathi had his fists raised by the time she turned to face him.
She gave another, terser laugh, and regarded him with annoyance. "Truly, you present an unpredictable threat." She sat down on her rock, claws folded calmly in her lap, and beckoned him with a slight toss of her head. "Come on then. Walk to me. Walk at all."
Pathi warily eyed the rocky ground between them. Only slightly uneven. Were his legs still human, he could've taken it at a run.

Blood had never bothered Lennari. It was just the thing that leaked out when skin was damaged.
So when she casually brought the hatchet down on the rooster's neck, separating his head from his body, she didn't flinch, or even blink. The red liquid drained from the opening and spilled into the grass beside the stump as she held him upside down. There was a beauty in the deep red color
-few things in nature were so rich a hue. Plucking the feathers and removing the innards, she finished the processing with practiced efficiency.
Lennari smiled as she stepped down the bank, bare feet padding on stones and avoiding nettles.
The stream babbled as she dunked the bird into the water, cooling it quickly. There was a time she did this almost daily for the Order. Never again. Now she gladly preformed the task for her family.
Family. The word still sounded foreign; as did wife, and mother. But they were words she cherished more than she'd ever thought possible.
Task complete, she stood-then froze, body going perfectly still. Her stomach rolled, skin prickled, heart ticked faster. With a held breath, she listened, trying to hear...something beneath the sound of the stream and the birds. She lifted her eyes to the tree line on the on the other side of the stream and scanned the nearby woods for signs of movement.
It was that pesky feeling that had been plaguing her on and off for the past month. The uncanny sense that something was watching her-preying on her. She waited.
Nothing.

New project: Those Who Carry My Bones. When the dead god's skeleton her country is built on begins to collapse, a woman must confront her past as part of the organization responsible and reverse the damage, all while falling for a man whose life she accidentally ruined. #questpit #a #f #rf #df #w

A mood board featuring pomegranates, bone fragments in dirt, rocky and foggy mountains, and a gothic cathedral. Over it, cursive text reads, "those who carry my bones."
