A grief-torn healer, bent on vengeance against the god who claimed all she loved in death and decay, uses her craft to infiltrate the god’s court—entangling with a haunted heir, plagued by fated dreams of her arrival, who will stop at nothing to unearth her purpose. #questpit #w #f #r #a

The House of Hemlock

A WORK IN PROGRESS

ONE DARK WINDOW meets STARLING HOUSE in this gothic dual POV adult romantic fantasy steeped in grief-torn promises, fate-bound strangers, and simmering tensions-where a house watches, gods scheme, and rot runs deep.

The Opening

There was truth in blood—meant to spill, drain life, stain the earth, and leave death grinning in its wake.
The first gods knew it. They shaped the earth with rivers of it, winding red veins through stone and moss, tangling it into the roots of trees that cracked the sky open with their branches.
Blood was the first language, the thread stitching life to decay, shadow to light. It was the beginning and the end, the thread through all things. It sang louder than prayers and bound tighter than oaths.
It was promise and debt, offering and curse.
The gods demanded it-again and again—until the earth grew slick, not with dew, but with what they were owed.
But even gods forget. They never asked what would become of blood left too long untended.
It rots. It rises. It remembers.

The Vibes

•Cursed magic and creeping rot (One Dark Window)
•Haunted by prophetic visions (A Study in Drowning)
•Nature’s eerie obedience (For the Wolf)
•Gothic atmosphere and simmering tension (Down Comes the Night)
•Sentient manor hiding secrets (Starling House)
•Healing that defies the natural order (The Thirteenth Child)
•Connection to death (Belladonna)

A dark, spooky, nature-inspired gothic mood board

A SONG TO DROWN RIVERS x JASMINE THRONE 🏵Reluctant heroine 🏵️Forced marriage to brooding prince 🏵Queen leads a soulless cult 🏵FMC reunites w/ severed soul 🏵Growing rebellion 🏵️Charming rebel spy ally 🏵Political intrigue 🏵Sub-tropical world #agentsguide #questpit #F #A #Q

Comps: Midnight Bargain. A Song to Drown Rivers. The Jasmine Throne.

Pitch: When Syrala, trapped in the palace as a pawn, learns the queen severed her subjects’ souls for power, she must outwit the dynasty to reclaim her own–but to succeed she must betray the brooding prince she’s learning to love.

Opening Lines: When emptiness gnawed, Syrala painted. Her grandmother taught her: Seek solitude and focus on your art. Allow space for emptiness, and listen. It will help. For now.
Syrala stood in her assigned palace apartment and stared at the door. Weeks of banquets, hunts, counterfeit smiles, and saccharine small talk would culminate tonight in the Selection. The queen had ordered the candidates to prepare: to meditate on the teachings of the Goddess Viera. The other candidates had filed into the prayer hall in a public demonstration of obedience. But incessant chatter and judgement had worn at Syrala until she was as parched as clay earth before the seasonal Rains. At the oppressive thought of another hour with preening sycophants, the emptiness threatened to consume her. She yanked off her palace silks, threw on a simple cotton blouse and skirt, snatched up her painting bag, and bolted out into the unforgiving afternoon sun, and into the water gardens, where she could be alone.

Moodboard for ‘Wish Upon a Snowdrop’, a dark sci-fantasy set on an alien planet infested by demons, with post-post-apocalyptic vibes. This is a work in progress by Elisa Winther.
The moodboard has text at the left upper corner that reads: Wish Upon a Snowdrop. At the bottom right corner it includes a list of tropes, which include: shapeshifting cat demon, kickass ADHD protagonist, strange new world, monstrous seasons, demon slaying, and enemies to found family. The moodboard has a white background with five dark images. One image is of a close up of the bottom half of a face and their neck with a dark orange liquid pouring down from their lips. A second is of a person holding a skull in a pond with lily pads around them. Another is of a person huddled below a menacing shadowy monster. Another is of a person looking into a broken mirror where the shards all show eyes and the wall is scribbled with text. The last image is of a hand holding up a flower in front of a crescent moon.

On the left, text on torn paper: Sirensong, 126k words, Sci-Fi/Romance, Iron Widow Meets Steelheart. On the right, a stormy sky

1. A silver domino mask
2. A bloody knife
3. a glowing silver eye
4. A greyscale image of a lightning strike
5. Text reading: No matter what you do, you're still my sister.
6. A black and white tuxedo.

9. A black mask with fangs.
Surrounded by text: power and corruption, slowburn, found family, queer disabled rep, complicated twins, secret identity, love or duty?, kill the rich

Snippets: Lightning captured the clouds in a bright, sudden burst, and I flinched as unwanted memories flashed behind my eyes. Bloodstained hands wrapped around a knife. Golden, fiery eyes burned into mine. A woman screamed. A tiny hand wrapped in mine as red-and-blue lights flashed through the sky.
A line.
People like Amelia Nova and Jason Rathburn got to scam people out of insurance and perform unethical basement experiments while people like my mother got to rot in a prison cell without a second thought. Shadow was the promise that these people would see vengeance, even if justice would not come.
