Agent Guide for Blood of the Broadlands, 99k, Adult Romantasy #Q #A #R #F #questpit

Title card with background a foggy Appalachian landscape, "Blood of the Broadlands" title, under it reads "An Appalachian-inspired revenge quest meets a demon road-trip romance in a kingdom built on sacrificing women"

"When the sacrifice--a deadly trial for unmarried women in the Appalachian-inspired wilderness--claims Devera's best friend, she swears to make it to the northern mountains and demand the Wretched King end it once and for all. But the deeper she travels through deadly landscapes, the more entangled she becomes with Ciaran, a demon whose connection to the ritual threatens Devera's revenge, her humanity, and eventually, her heart."

Comps are Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten, Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig, and M. Night Shyamalan's The Village.

“My children!" the elder yelled above the crowd. "We are gathered tonight to honor the girls who will be given to the wilds of the Broadlands as an offering to appease The Great Curse and the Wretched King.” I fought against rolling my eyes. “As it has been done for centuries, our unwed girls will enter the woods at the outset of dawn tomorrow, and only the bravest and most worthy among them shall survive.”

No one. No one survived.

Good news is this pushed the government to not only approve the OEM’s funding request, but triple it to send a team to Earth. Bad news is all the potential piles of data and artifacts could be wiped out by one rogue wave of stellar guts.

Kazmera's grandfather murders her parents & orders her, a shadow witch, to marry light witch Prince Edan for a false peace. To save her kingdom from her grandfather’s totalitarian regime and impending war, Kazmera & Edan form a fragile alliance while facing their inner demons. #A #FR #QueerPit

White and golden yellow text and arrows pointing to: enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, elemental magic, slide to pitch, adult romantasy (93,000 words), mental and chronic illness and queer representation.

BETWEEN THE SUN AND MOON Forced into an arranged marriage as a fragile peace treaty, two powerful witches must learn to trust each other in order to prevent war across their Realms. But will their love be enough to stop a war? Perfect for fans of The Hurricane Wars and The Bridge Kingdom, BETWEEN THE SUN AND MOON is a critique of authoritarianism and a demonstration of the power of love in all its forms, recognizing that while not all illnesses can be healed, they can be managed with care. @SashaKielman

THE EVERWINTER KING Desperate to find his missing sun god, a former holy king returns home to compete in trials meant to bring the god back, and stop the onslaught of an endless winter. 🏳️‍🌈 Queer norm world ☀️ Light-based magic 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans love interest 👑 Hidden royalty #QueerPit #F #A #amquerying

Title page for an agent's guide to THE EVERWINTER KING. The title is placed over a moodboard featuring a Mediterranean inspired setting and royalty imagery. In addition to the title the page reads "Adult Fantasy Standalone. Queer normative world. MM romance subplot. 99,000 words."

THE EVERWINTER KING's pitch.

PITCH
A former holy king does the one thing he swore he’d never do in search of his missing god. He goes home.

Malachi was born with God’s voice in his head. When God vanishes in the midst of a decade-long winter, Mal breaks the oath he made to himself and returns to the home he abandoned—the city where he was raised to be king. There, he’s marked to compete in trials meant to select God’s new emissary. His replacement.

After succeeding in the first trial, Mal demands entry to the royal temple, where he learns the skies are empty. God has stopped speaking to his priests and Mal alike. With no other avenue for answers, Mal must win the competition for God’s favor and assume the throne he never wanted, or risk losing his oldest friend for good and damning the world to a worsening everwinter.

An excerpt from THE EVERWINTER KING. Next to the excerpt is character art of the main character. He has light bright skin, dark brown hair, facial hair, and a simple jerkin over white shirt. His eye is glowing like the sun.

EXCERPT STARTS BELOW

“My head hurts,” Malachi mumbled into his drink.

“They say King Ridaris’ eye glowed like this.”

Did they? Malachi shuffled through his memories for any mention of that from his mothers, or the history books, and found nothing.

“I think it means God knows who you are.” Sen lowered her voice, eyes shifting toward the surrounding priests. Kinder to pretend she did it out of concern for his headache. “You need to be careful.”

“Aye.”

“It hasn’t stopped glowing. Everyone else’s did.”

He raised a hand to cover his eye, pausing to marvel at the light pouring over his fingers and palm. It spilled into every crack, crevice, and scar his hand had to offer, like liquid pooled against his skin. Malachi closed his fist around the cold light and pressed it to his face. “Hurts.”

“Close your eyes,” Samara offered. “Rest. We’ll handle it from here.”

For once, he did just that.

A page listing comp titles.

Comp titles for THE EVERWINTER KING include: "The Raven Scholar" by Antonia Hodgson, "The Raven Tower" by Ann Leckie, "WITCH KING" by Martha Wells, and "The Red Winter" by Cameron Sullivan.

Similarities include: godly shenanigans, political trials, queer-norm worlds, queer male leads, messy homecomings, and a second chance subplot.

Bonus comp! Dragon Age 2.

Title Card Reads: Something Like Always, by Colleen Morrison, Adult Contemporary Romance, 87000 Words, Now Querying

Pitch Reads: Every Summer After meets loml meets Normal People

A once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity brings Amelia back to her coastal hometown where she unexpectedly runs into Alex, her first love who vanished years ago without a word after she took the fall for a crime they committed. Now, working at the same nonprofit as him with her future in his hands, Amelia must decide whether she can trust him again, or if she’s better off letting go for good. Especially when he doesn't seem to remember her at all.

Comps are Same Time Next Summer, Paradise Garden, and This Summer Will Be Different

Excerpt Reads: I supposed there were worse places to have a mental breakdown than a storage closet. Probably.
I wasn’t sure what they were, but I was certain they existed.
I was currently experiencing mine somewhere between a suspiciously crumpled box labeled “Winter Gala 2015” and a metal filing cabinet that looked like it predated the internet. I vaguely wondered when my last tetanus shot was.
To be fair, it wasn’t a full breakdown. Just the kind where your common sense short-circuits, your instincts abandon you completely, and you start seriously questioning whether you could survive a job where the love of your life didn’t recognize you on sight.
In my defense, I hadn’t expected him to still live here.
