MONK & ROBOT X EMILY WILDE When a blight strikes, an optimistic archivist must track down her hero's fabled garden with the help of an archaic engineer—but secret origins and disillusionment lurk between hard drives and petals. ☀️ Solarpunk 🌷 Floriography 💚 Enby LI #QuestPit #W #A #SF #R

Floral background with the text Mending Glass. By Florrie Auclair. Solarpunk Romantic Sci-Fi

Character portrait of a blond woman making a heart with her hands. Juniper Penrose. An archivist specializing in botany. She idolizes the old world botanist, Miriam, who helped lead the resistance centuries ago. Optimistic and a little reckless, she seeks to uncover the past and find Miriam’s garden. Her drive to help people, sometimes comes at her own expense—like the reason for the mechanical leg she now cherishes.

Next to that is a character portrait of a nonbinary character with light blue eyes and duotone hair in black and blonde. Eli Winter. An aloof engineer who specializes in old world infrastructure programming trying to prove their skills are just as important as the nouveau programmers of the city. They leave their home and grandfather to help Juni break into archaic servers and hard drives—and often pull her out of trouble.

Comp slide with Horizon Zero Dawn, Emily Wildes, A Psalm for the Wild-Built, Violet Evergarden, and Fruits Basket. The text pointing at the various media are Ruins of a fallen industrial world, Solarpunk, Flower Motifs, Traveling to help others and find self discovery, Joyful but melancholic character connections, and Sunshine MC x Sunshine Protector

Data is as fragile as flower petals. That’s why Juniper, an archivist in a recovering solarpunk world, wants to immortalize the past in the Glass Archives. Safe from time’s decay, unlike the archaic hard drives of the old world. Specifically, information on her hero, Miriam, a botanist who legend says grew a garden of resistant plants—ones that could survive the blight ravaging their crops. But to find it, Juniper will need the help of Eli, an engineer who specializes in old world technology. Together they traverse ruins and follow a trail of flower language from village to village to unearth what led to the dark age of information. But Juniper starts to question her identity when they uncover that the woman she modeled herself after was not the hero she believed.

WE WERE ALL DEFECTS - YA Dystopian Thriller - 77k words The bubblegum-pink tiles of Ruinview will swallow anyone who loses control, but emotions are Alex's only weapon when she has seventy-two hours to stop her mother's execution and save the boy she loves. #QuestPit #Q #YA

The background features a dark silhouette of a person standing in front of a chain-link fence with a hazy, warm sunset shining through trees in the distance. There is a textured, pink hexagonal tile floor. White text over the image reads: "An Agent's Guide To: WE WERE ALL DEFECTS. YA Dystopian Thriller, 77k words."

A dark pink hexagonal tile background. At the top, glowing pink neon text reads "Welcome To Ruinview." Below it, text reads "DAYS SINCE LAST DROP:" above a mechanical flip-clock counter showing the number "O0" with small blood splatters on the white tiles. The main body text reads: "The pretty pink tiles of Ruinview are as fake as its plastic smiles, but happiness is a mandatory survival mechanism. None of those things stop Alex from feeling everything-even when she knows a slip in control will lead to the ground splitting open to swallow her whole. But hiding from herself won't prevent her mother's execution. Rescuing her mother will only kill the boy who saved her. Protecting either of them could cost her the one person she can't live without. And Alex only has seventy-two hours to get them all out alive."

A pink hexagonal tile background. At the top,
glowing pink neon text reads "The Tropes". Below it, text lists: "Friends-to-Lovers Slow-Burn", "Touch Her And You Die", and "Forced Toxic Positivity". Below that, neon pink text reads "The Comps". The text reads "Blends the weaponized psychological control of Stephanie Oakes' THE MEADOWS" above an image of the book's cover, "With the survival-forged slow-burn romance of Jill Tew's AN OCEAN APART" below an image of that book's

cover.

A four-panel aesthetic mood board set over a pink hexagonal tile background. At the top, glowing pink neon text reads "The Vibes" next to a black-and-white Spotify scan code. The collage consists of four images: the top left is a bright, retro diner with a pink-and-white checkered floor and teal vinyl seats. The top right is a soft, pink-hazed silhouette of a couple leaning in to kiss. The bottom left is a vintage, faded photograph of smiling women standing in rows wearing matching blue swimsuits and sashes. The bottom right is a steep, upward-facing view of a long escalator with dark purple steps flanked by glowing pink lights.

Book title: The Darkest Light. An adult gothic fantasy romance completed at 101k words. A standalone with duology potential.

Pitch for The Darkest Light:

There were three rules in the Dark Tropics:
Savor any color remaining.
The Witch must remain locked up at all times.
And do not, under any circumstance, resort to magic.

After his parents’ brutal murders, King Shadow hungers for revenge on the rival royals responsible. But when their daughter, Haven, ascends the throne—and becomes a threat to his life and kingdom—he secures a treasonous bargain with the Witch, the Dark Tropics’ ancient enemy, for a lethal love potion to defeat Haven before she strikes.

To activate the curse’s fatal effects, Shadow must convince Haven he’s in love with her, all while concealing his crimes in a kingdom where magic use carries an automatic death sentence. However, when truths unveil and forbidden desires deepen, the price of vengeance becomes inescapable.

Mood board depicting the atmosphere of The Darkest Light: images present a Tropical Gothic aesthetic, featuring Gothic architecture, gloomy beaches, cloudy skies, oozing candles, a skull, ship, crown, stained glass, black sand, a black hibiscus, witchcraft, and a mermaid fin.

A matrix of murder, treachery, and betrayal on a blue-green field, a volcanic eruption piercing clouds above, a village and its fields along a canal, a frail aircraft over open ocean, a giant extinct pterodactyl, a nuclear explosion. In the center, a small, aerodynamic spacecraft approaches the edge of a terrifying abyss, with the planet's two suns beyond.

Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.

What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)

Dark forest. An agent's guide to The Blessing Returned. Adult fantasy. 98,000 words.

Dark forest. Pitch. Idealistic Hana Hahl lives in a world that is slowly dying after a failed quest to bring back magic. The only ones left with power are self-serving royals and dark mages, while desperation has given rise to an anti-magic order. Caught up in a mystical event, Hana is blessed with an immense power that could restore nature to the world. As Hana struggles to control the overwhelming force, Lady Kalyn Nossi, the only known survivor of the disastrous quest, directs her to the one person who can help her. Matthias Azel, the failed chosen one, reluctantly agrees to teach Hana while concealing his past from her. Accompanied by Kalyn and a charismatic prince with a dangerous secret, they journey to seek answers about Hana’s destiny. They fend off demonic threats and the anti-magic forces as Hana struggles with magic that seems to resist her and a growing fear that the world isn’t meant to be saved.

A dark forest. Snippet. She took a cautious step forward, unaware she was in a spectral form. Little drops of shimmering light followed her path, dissolving into the ground. “But this has to be a sign?” Grass grew where the light fell, delicate bits of nature that should be impossible. “Maybe it’s returning!”
The young woman spoke with such bright reverence as if life was a fairy tale and magic was all they needed for a happy ending. It was as if she couldn’t see the shadows approaching her. The inevitable death.
“Magic should never return.”
After speaking those words, he sprang forward and shoved her away from the shadows. Pain rocked him as soon as he touched her. The scorching mystical agony tore a scream out of him, but it kept her away from the unearthly menace, and the shock did what he intended.
Sent him back to his body.

THE SHADOWS (WIP in 3rd Draft) #W #F #A #QuestPit A middle-aged shopkeeper & retired magical con artist takes one last job to save store & family. She could end the corrupt power of the Skyborn mages. She could end up losing herself, her magic & all she holds dear. Talk about a midlife crisis.

Moodboard for The Shadows WIP. Upper left: Illustration of a crowded, cramped city alley. Upper mid: Four black-clad people with face masks in a warehouse. Upper right: Shadowed cobblestone alley with someone at the mouth sweeping. Mid left. Two memes. "A niche character trope I like is the person who is nice, a good person and acts well-adjusted, then they do something where it's like oh you're secretly a little bit insane actually. Middle: A shadowed portrait of a woman with sparks coming out of her hands. Mid right: A meme: Original poster: "80% exhaustion 10% sarcasm %20 don't care" Reply poster: "that's 110 percent". OP: "20% of me doesn't care." RP: "should've seen that coming." Bottom left: Warmly lit storefront doorway on a cobblestone street. Bottom mid: Painting of fancy buildings on islands floating well above the ground. Bottom right: Cramped thrift store with shopkeeper.

The Shadows: The Pitch

The worst day of Ania’s life was when her beloved cousin Piren was dragged off to the floating towers of the Above to serve as a source to the Skyborn mages. The second worst day was when he was returned. Discarded. Drained of his magic and broken in spirit.

Ania left behind her rebellious past to support her cousin as he once
supported her. In a city where any display of magic makes you a target
of the Skyborn, keeping your head down and your magic a secret, taking care of your friends, your family and your neighborhood is the only safe way to survive.

But now, everything she’s built over twenty years of safe, carefully
constructed life is falling apart. To recover what she’s lost, Ania takes on one last dangerous heist that strikes at the heart of the Skyborn’s power. She may end up losing herself. She may just bring the entire system crashing down.

The Shadows: Comp Titles
MA Carrick: Mask of Mirrors. Con artist MC out to save her family (and maybe the world).
Shannon Chakraborty: Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi. I'm retired. Really. Okay, fine, one last job.
Robert Jackson Bennett: Foundryside. Magical technology, a corrupt ruling class and problematic heists.
Fonda Lee: Last Contract of Isako. I'm too old for this shit but no one else can do it.

“Except you can help me without bringing the bluejackets and their hunters down on my head!” Ania yelled, throwing her arms in the air. “All I’m asking you for is money. You’re asking me to risk my life! My family’s life!” She glared at him, grinding out her words through clenched teeth. “You want me to dust off magic I haven’t used in twenty years! How is that fair?” She spat the last word.
“It’s not fair!” Verasi spat back at her. “None of this is fair!” He flung a hand out. “Our people, our friends and family, our neighbors, are ripped from their homes in the middle of the night. They’re enslaved, ridden so hard they break. Maybe it takes a year. Maybe it takes five. Maybe it only takes a couple of months.” He continued in a harsh whisper. “We live in constant fear that it’ll be one of us. If not one of us, someone we know. Someone we love. Their propaganda machine is turning our own people against us. You know they’re not even testing people to see if they have any magical talent now? They’re just rounding people up at random and carting them off Above. None of them come home, not the same way they left.”

💖 SHE’S THE MAN x ICEBREAKER, BUT MAKE IT E-SPORTS 🎮 To join her dream esports team, Cam let everyone assume she's a guy. Now all she has to do is survive the captain, who's sure she's the weak link — without falling for him first. #Q #R #A #questpit #agentsguide #amquerying

Last Pick by Ruchi Dave is an e-sports romance novel, complete at 75k words.

Cameron Day has always felt like a loser—except in the video game League of Champions, where she dominates. So when an esports team mistakes her for a guy and recruits her, she doesn’t correct them.

But to Jacob—their ruthless (and distractingly hot) captain who’s already seen one ex-teammate implode under pressure—she’s a risk they can’t afford. If she cracks, they all go down with her.

The only way forward is to prove she’s not a liability, but the key to pulling them out of freefall.

“Why would I complicate things?”

“You know why.” He tucked a stray hair behind my ear, and my skin felt electric where his fingers brushed against me. I leaned into him as his hand slid to the nape of my neck, tilting my head toward his.

“What happened to keeping things professional?”

“This is professional,” he murmured. “Kevin and I do this all the time.”

INQUISITOR FOR HIRE

ADULT DARK FANTASY NOIR · 93,000 WORDS · MULTI-POV · STANDALONE

Once Rysia’s feared Grand Inquisitor, Wynsten now catches adulterers to make rent. When he is hired to find a missing ambassador before an uneasy peace collapses, the case leads him through forbidden magic, vanished daughters, and a conspiracy tied to the royal blood ritual that made him a legend, ruined his life, and fused the empire’s worst secrets to his chest.

A MISSING AMBASSADOR.
A DISGRACED LEGEND.
A KINGDOM ROTTING FROM WITHIN.

OPENING LINES

“The heretics had nowhere left to run. Wynsten had made sure of that.

Months of blood and smoke had led him beneath the Sovereign’s castle, into the old mines carved through the bedrock. A stronghold under the heart of the kingdom.

These apostates would face justice here or burn.”

Twenty years before he became an investigator for hire, Wynsten stopped a ritual fueled by Rysia’s own royal blood.

In a fantastical alternate 1920's where cowboys still reign and deal with dragons, the world populace fears the Realm of Djinn. Two cowboys in love must journey into the eerie, mythical realm to save a child, but one worries that his brother is after them from within. #QuestPit #W #A #HR #F #LGBT

Moodboard: A falling dark braid with flowers in it. Two men, one dark-skinned and one brown, holding hands. A statue of an elaborate dragon. The raging ocean. A cowboy amid a desert with horses surrounding. The Sahara Desert. A black or brown girl or woman by a New York City amusement park. A man breathing smoke with long falling hair and gaunt look. A black cat with golden eyes peers at the viewer, surrounded by sparkling greenery.

The UK government frames an intelligence agent for a temporal disaster, putting him in the crosshairs of ruthless state assassins. To save his skin he must seal a lethal time rift, before a Russian spy from the future uses its secrets to start a war that will destroy everything. #QuestPit #Q #A #SF

🪐 OCEAN'S ECHO x MASS EFFECT x A MEMORY CALLED EMPIRE 🪐 A human rebel, a human-alien enemy soldier, a quantum entanglement that binds their thoughts, memories, and emotions together—and a common goal that requires a sacrifice neither may be prepared to make. #questpit #Q #A #SFF
