SNOWDROPS AND STONES
A 110k New Adult dystopian romantasy by H. L. DochertyThe fire snarled as it chewed the wood of my home.
Heat singed my face, winter's bite contrasting with sweat soaking through my ragged hoodie. I gagged on smoke curling in my throat but swallowed the cough. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction. If they wanted me scared, they should've used explosives.
Mum's eyes flashed at the burnt college entrance sign in our garden. Harroworth Central College was still visible beneath the scorch marks with Scabs not welcome scrawled across it. 
Like we were nothing but dead skin, picked at until we bled.

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.

THE BARGAINER x SIX OF CROWS x THE LOST APOTHECARY A Reader’s & #LitAgents Guide for NIGHT BIRD, an adult romantic fantasy ft: 🕰️dual timeline ✴️invisibility & intangibility magic 🔪FMC vigilante for wronged women 💞friend or foe? ☠️poison & female rage 🫂found family #QuestPit #Q #RF #F #A #AgentGuide
A Guide to Night Bird
An adult romantic fantasy novelThe Pitch
Ava can become invisible and walk through walls but can’t escape her warded cage. Destined to follow in her dead mother’s footsteps as a courtesan and spy, she’s trained to get close to—and betray—those in the highest levels of society. But alone at night in her room, she listens to the steam engine’s whistle, plays her cello to the night birds, and dreams of escaping her prison. Until one stormy evening, a boy, Zev, breaks through her window and gives her a taste of life beyond the bars.
Their chance meeting spawns two years of secret friendship until her eighteenth birthday, when her seduction training will begin. Instead, she wakes up to a grisly scene—a bloody trail, dead guardians, and broken wards. Given what she knows of Zev’s powerful abilities, she assumes her freedom came at his hand. She waits for his return, which never comes. 
Eight years later, Ava has reinvented herself as Night Bird, a vigilante for wronged women. She’s assisted by a group of former street kids who’ve matured into a misfit gang. A botched mission finds them in the crosshairs of a shadowy man known as a high-powered fixer. That man turns out to be the boy who’d disappeared years earlier. It’s unclear if he’s friend or foe. However, when she takes on her biggest target—the last man to see her mother alive—Zev may be the only person keeping her from going up in flames. For Fans of:
Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa—dual timeline & lost love
The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner—female rage & poison
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo—found family & misfit crewChapter One
Only the night birds provided company in my caged existence. They sang for me after the sun dipped, gliding beyond my window’s metal bars as their trilling tunes wove through the moon’s light. They were my link to the outside world, a fragile tether to life beyond my warded room. My self-given name—Ava—was an homage to them, the beautiful creatures that kept me sane. 
During the day, when I was granted time away from lessons, the noise and bustle of the street scared them beneath the eaves, into the holes and crannies of buildings. I’d sit, fists clenched, ears straining for their hopeful notes. But I was alone. The lectas didn’t count. They were caretakers, not company. 
When streetlamps glowed in the satiny darkness, the night birds’ warbles piercing the quiet, I’d pull out my cello. My bow swept the strings like a feathered wing, and the resonant chords danced with the birdsong. They’d swoop and dive, triumphant in their freedom—something I’d never known and never would.

🌊 THEY TOOK SOMETHING FROM YOU // THEY PUT SOMETHING IN YOU 🌊 CYANOSIS, where pagan gods move through human souls in the shadow of a city that grasps the sky. You probably need it like a hole in the head. #QuestPit #SF #H #A #Q #AgentsGuide
Verinn, a monstrous conurbation  home to bird folk, shapeshifters and immortals. Five years ago, all data was wiped from cyberspace by devastating blackouts.
 Kioki thinks she knows the truth about what happened that day. That’s why she shut down the laboratory in the sea beneath the city’s superstructure.
 Trigger, though, doesn’t think he knows anything. Not his past, not what he wants, and not about the infection changing him into a species unknown to the scientists in that same laboratory.  
  Like a lot of things in Verinn, that lab won’t stay dead. Not when there’s work to do. Agent's guide to cyanosis, 98k sci-fi, standalone with series potential. THE SEA IS RISINGFor fans of Midnight water city, perdido street station, annihilation or our wives under the sea.

A centaur cheats at jousting, until the fake horse head goes KERPLOP! 🌈Mythology X SPOP 🗡️Betrayed by the man he loves 🗡️Betrayed by his father 🐈‍⬛Cat Si from Irish folklore 🐐Snarky/greedy satyr 🐎Badass centaur 🧚‍♀️Tricky pixies can't lie ☀️Gods from many pantheons #QuestPit #Q #YA #F #writing
The Title Page of the Agents Guide. The title of the book is THE STOLEN IDOL by Christopher Lee. It is a 86K word YA Fantasy. An image drawn and colored digitally by the author is in the center of the page. The image shows a broken opal colored disk in front of the Cat Si's golden eye.The Pitch: 
Winning a jousting tournament should be easy for a centaur, and it is, until the false horse head falls off Fotini’s shoddy disguise. She quickly steals the tournament prize, a golden idol, and gallops toward the forest ripping off her heavy jousting armor to outrun the tournament guards. When she arrives home to fulfill her contract, she discovers she accidentally ditched the idol with her disguise. Along with two fellow thieves, she retraces her steps praying the idol is still there. Hopefully it wasn’t cracked, or worse, found by a disgusting human.
Seventeen-year-old Jaimie Whitfield is accused of being a fae changeling, a creature who kidnaps children and assumes their form. If he does not escape, he will be executed for impersonating himself. His father will then invade the fae kingdom to rescue a son who hasn’t actually been kidnapped, all because he saw Jaimie kiss another young man and would rather believe his son has been kidnapped than accept his sexuality. As he awaits his demise, Jaimie turns to the broken idol he found by the roadside with a quiet prayer. He doesn’t expect an answer, but is shocked when a mysterious black cat slips through his high tower window.
Jaimie joins the shapeshifting cat known as the Cat Sí and the not fully human trio of thieves who dropped the idol to begin with. These outcasts race to warn the fae of the coming invasion. Along the way, Jaimie and his new friends learn long-forgotten secrets of how the Irish fae, the Cat Sí, and the Celtic gods are involved in an ancient feud with pantheons across the sea.Tropes and Themes:

Animated image of a dark haired man in a long-sleeve black shirt and jeans with tattoos on his hands and neck holding a pool stick next to a pool table with colorful balls looking smolderingly at a blonde sitting across the bar in a black long sleeve shirt and black jeans with her head propped up on one hand and a drink in the other who looks back at him with the same desire.

YA Romantic Fantasy
119k Words

Behind the text is a piece of parchment paper surrounded by ocean water and gold flower outlines.Blurb:

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy…
Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes.
Five for Silver, Six for Gold…
Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them.
Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told.

The text is on a piece of parchment paper, with ocean water and gold flower outlines behind it. Tropes:
Thief x Assassin
Mental Health Rep
Identity vs Duty
Class Difference
Forced Proximity 
Secret Code
Morally Gray
Women’s Wrongs
Unlikely Allies to Lovers

Text is on a piece of parchment paper. Besides the text are two headshot drawings: one of a girl with brown hair pulled back by braids, and the other of a black-haired boy with a worried expression. Behind the parchment paper are ocean waters with gold flower outlines. The Atmosphere:
There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand.

Behind the collage of pictures are ocean waters, with gold flower outlines surrounding it.
