After 40 years without a vision of his angel, artist Peter wonders whether it’s worth carrying on living. But his “angel” is Ro, a human trying to use the visions to plead for resources in their ravaged future. Can this depressed, Twinkie-loving eccentric get the message? #questpit #Q #LF #S #D

Yellow text on the right reads: Everywhen (all-caps). Beneath is a bulleted list: Literary + speculative, voice-driven prose, multi-POV, dual timeline, queer, southern context, 95K words. On the left is a photo of art by Eddie Owens Martin who provided inspiration for the novel described. The artwork shows an abstract vertical landscape with two green hills and a yellow sun in a deep blue sky. Bisecting the green hills are a series of triangles or upside-down Vs in red and blue.

✨ THE CRAFT x ONE DARK WINDOW ✨ When Lola’s deadly shadows escape, killing her best friend, she must seek control at an elite magical academy before they kill again—or lose her humanity. Perfect for agents who like: 🏳️‍🌈 Sapphic BIPOC witches 🖤 Body horror 💫 Fantasy/Horror/Mystery #QuestPit #Q #A #F

An image of a school with multiple towers, in black on a grey sky, with multiple crescent moons hanging above. The text reads ‘an agents guide to The Bells of Le Fay, adult dark academia fantasy, 102k words.

A silhouette of a woman reaching up to the sky with a bright light between her hands. There is a shadowed tree next to her. The text reads: pitch, The price of magic is monstrous. Lola Knight expects to live a normal life, but when the deadly shadows beneath her skin escape, killing her best friend, she must attend Le Fay Academy for Higher Magics to seek control before they kill again. When she finds out the shadows are slowly turning her into a monster, she chases a cure through the ancient archives—but instead unearths a dangerous conspiracy, and must decide: keep digging to unmask the true monsters, or accept her fate and risk her humanity.

An open spell book surrounded by candles and a mirror. There are three book covers; for One Dark Window, Book of Night, and The Incandescent. The text reads: tropes and comps, witchy dark academia, monstrous magic, sapphic romance, ancient archives, body horror, unhelpful ghosts.

The silhouette of a woman with a huge dark shadow looming over her. The text reads: first lines. The shadows had teeth, and they hungered for blood. They shouldn’t exist here, amongst the weathered sandstone of Durham University. They shouldn’t exist at all, outside the confines of Lola’s mind. But the terrible scratching of claws against flagstone wasn’t a figment of her imagination, as she had first thought, strolling arm-in-arm with Sam on their way home from an end-of-exams party. She didn’t notice them straight away, her gaze sliding over the shadows cast by the faculty buildings. She didn’t notice them until they peeled away from the walls, their darkness thicker and more absolute than the others. Even then she pulled her gaze away, dismissing it. Inebriation hung over her like a thin veil, turning the glow of street lamps into a kaleidoscopic sky.

When she picks the wrong pocket, sixteen-year-old Nia unlocks a magical talent she didn’t know she had. Now she’s posing as an heiress, a con man’s gone missing, and Nia and her band of would-be thieves are on the run from gangs, magehunters, and the governor herself. #QuestPit #W #F #LGBT #YA

A mood board of eight tiles and a centre square with lockpicking tools and ancient writing:
1. Always have an escape plan.
2. A swindler never lets herself feel like a fraud.
3. Don't look for the easy grab, look for the easy mark.
4. Never get involved with golems.

The pictures depict, clockwise from upper right:
A) A city of canals and towering footbridges. There are minarets and steeples and red-tiled roofs.
B) A market selling elaborate lanterns, all aglow.
C) A porcelain and gold hand, reaching upwards.
D) Two figures leaping across rooftops against the coming dawn.
E) A pocket orrery engraved with runes.
F) A wax stamp with removable chits that function as coins in a card game.
G) The lords of the city overlooking grand canals and issuing edicts. They are dressed in fine red robes and silks.
H) Assorted bones and shells used for divination and more.

FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS: Two twenty somethings are the last to know they’re wrong for each other. Think GOOD MATERIAL with an American sense of humor and a narrator hellbent on breaking the fourth wall. #QuestPit #Q #RomCom
