Background: boulder half in the water, half on the sand. Text: The Pitch, While vacationing at a remote lakeside cabin, the daughter from a dynasty of eccentric k!llers struggles to shield her new boyfriend from her family’s gruesome legacy, but the sunny lakeside retreat turns deadly when a k!ller from her past turns the camp grounds into hunting grounds.

I knew it the moment he picked me up. His hair is combed too straight, his blue button down shirt is overly starched, his khakis pressed with military precision, and his nails neatly trimmed to the quick.

I can almost hear my best friend, Kayla’s voice in my head, ‘It’s find Maddie. He’s a nice guy. Why are you always trying to find the faults?’

It’s not like I’m doing it on purpose, it’s just that I have a type. And I really, really want to get away from my normal type and find a nice guy.

“You look beautiful,” he says as he presents me with a bouquet of flowers.

White lillies. The flower of death.

The Viridian Sphere, an enchanted necklace, augments heroes with vast magical power. They transform heroes, become weapons in their hands, and more. But Viridian is conscious, and wants something more than being anchored to another's heroism. They want their own destiny. #bluepit #📖 #NA #F #W

An infographic showing different stages of the Viridian Sphere's evolution. Text: I am the Viridian Sphere, an echanted relic searching for my champion and an answer to why I was forged. I take on many shapes.

An infographic showing monsters of the Relicverse. Text: My job is to aid my wielders in times of great need. I don't have to be just a sword, but it comes in handy a lot...

An infographic showing other relics and secondary characters of the Relicverse. Text: I'm not alone, there are others like me. Cerulean and Amethyst claim that our ultimate technique, 'infusion', augments our champions. I'm not sure I'm ready for the consequences though... Infusion combines a relic with their wielder, granting new skills and new strengths--but also combines the conscious minds of both.

Moodboard for Rooted in Stone.
Tagline: She thought her heart was stone… it would take a gargoyle to prove her wrong…
Large central image is a doorway in a very dark, arched hallway of an old stone building. The huge, heavy oaken door is cracked halfway open to the outside. Outside, we see a very bright, vividly colored rainbow of sparkling light starbursting to halo the door, clearly a strange and wondrous land beyond, which contrasts with the moody shadows of the interior.
Around the edge of this image, as a backdrop, are, the buckles of a lesther jacket, crows flocking around the steeples of a misty church, statue of an angel clasing hands over heart and peering at the sky, a dark-skinned mermaid with a turquoise tail, a girl in half-shadow glaring out at the viewer, a crow perched on a fencepost.

An Excerpt with a snake: What’s your name, ghost girl?” Carsten asks, his lips quirking up in a half-smile that feels like a challenge.

I try to seem unbothered as he takes his time, walking back to the leather loveseat across from mine. He sits down slowly, soaking in my attention, but I can’t take my eyes off him. His arms stretch out lazily on the back of the chair, a prince of darkness surveying his domain.

The room warms. So warm that sweat prickles the back of my neck. I glance at the clock over the fireplace again. Terror wraps around me like the snake dancing on his forearm. I need to get out of here.

He cocks his head to the side, waiting, and I debate lying. There are no benefits to a demon knowing your name. Except my mind is blank. I can’t remember any goddess-blessed name except my own.
