Nuntii Gethki

Crown Prince Leaves Legion
Regillvs Pica, heir apparent, departs VIII Gethki after a heated conversation with his uncle, Regillvs Monedvla. Pica, whose royal name means Magpie, has grown increasingly vocal of late, calling for an end to the glorious conquest in Fetocia. Sources state he is discharged with full honors despite the dispute.
It is not the first time the prince has butted heads with his family. Trusted palace sources state that his relationship with his father, Aqvilla Pavo, is non-existent.
Pica was last seen re-joining the Celestial Shield and boarding a ship in Curia. His destination is unknown.
Dragon Activity on Sparkling Coast
There is increased dragon activity on the Sparkling Coast, between Cvria and Caltava. Residents report seeing the territory master, Levnys, on patrol for the first time in ten years. Reports of a strange dragon spotted around the area have not been confirmed.
Travelers Beware!
An increase in shady activity plagues Geth's harbors of late. Travelers purchasing passage in good faith have been abducted and sold into servitude. Be cautious especially if looking for employment, as these pirates prey especially on the impoverished.

Winona will do anything to escape her mom’s new family, even forge her papers to become a heart mender. But when someone burns down the clinic, she must wrangle with her trust issues & hunt down the culprit with help from a pretty girl w/o a heart. #questpit #YA #CF #LGBT

Pink image with hearts with art in the center of two girls holding hands. Text reads HEARTS TO MEND: YA sapphic contemporary fantasy. Sapphic romance, found family, unique magic system, slow burn, grumpy x sunshine, equal angst and humor, teaching the LI to be human.

An Agent/Editor's Guide to Hearts to Mend: 78k YA sapphic contemporary fantasy with heart and humor. When someone burns down 17-year-old heart mender Winona's clinic, she must team up with the beautiful and heartless (literally) Sable to find the culprit before her lies are revealed and she loses not only her job, but her life. And she needs to avoid falling for someone who can't love her back in the process...

Snippet:
"Hearts are competitive these days," Winona mused. "No one wants a broken one when they've already got one of their own."
"I wouldn't mind."
"What?"
"A broken one." The girl's gaze trailed along the wreckage. "I wouldn't mind having one."
Winona's heart clenched. "Then you've never had a broken heart. There's nothing worse than it."
The girl's eyes found her, and their gazes met. It was like those brown eyes peered right into her. Seeing her. Her hearts. Everything she was trying to hide. It made Winona want to spill everything to this girl. This strange girl without a heart.

Pink image with hearts and the three book covers for Spellbound by F.T. Lukens, Hearts Still Beating by Brooke Archer, and This Delicious Death by Kayla Cottingham. Text reads: For fans of humor and heart, grumpy x sunshine, complicated families, finding your place in a new world, mild/light gore, morally gray girlhood.

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community. Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

Friendly reminder to google "I am an author" after researching some suspicious stuff. Don't want the FBI at your door. Stay safe. #author #writing
