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)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia
At the bottom, the name Emma Bridge is crossed out and replaced with Peyton Freys

Picture three shows a row of high school desks. Picture four shows a box of police evidence. Picture five shows a group of kids sitting behind an abandoned building. Picture six shows someone flipping off a police car. Picture seven shows a paper with the words “Child Custody Hearing” printed on it. The last picture shows a boy sitting at a school desk, writing something into a notebook.

✨ THE CRAFT x ONE DARK WINDOW ✨ When Lola’s deadly shadows escape, killing her best friend, she must seek control at an elite magical academy before they kill again—or lose her humanity. Perfect for agents who like: 🏳️‍🌈 Sapphic BIPOC witches 🖤 Body horror 💫 Fantasy/Horror/Mystery #QuestPit #Q #A #F

An image of a school with multiple towers, in black on a grey sky, with multiple crescent moons hanging above. The text reads ‘an agents guide to The Bells of Le Fay, adult dark academia fantasy, 102k words.

A silhouette of a woman reaching up to the sky with a bright light between her hands. There is a shadowed tree next to her. The text reads: pitch, The price of magic is monstrous. Lola Knight expects to live a normal life, but when the deadly shadows beneath her skin escape, killing her best friend, she must attend Le Fay Academy for Higher Magics to seek control before they kill again. When she finds out the shadows are slowly turning her into a monster, she chases a cure through the ancient archives—but instead unearths a dangerous conspiracy, and must decide: keep digging to unmask the true monsters, or accept her fate and risk her humanity.

An open spell book surrounded by candles and a mirror. There are three book covers; for One Dark Window, Book of Night, and The Incandescent. The text reads: tropes and comps, witchy dark academia, monstrous magic, sapphic romance, ancient archives, body horror, unhelpful ghosts.

The silhouette of a woman with a huge dark shadow looming over her. The text reads: first lines. The shadows had teeth, and they hungered for blood. They shouldn’t exist here, amongst the weathered sandstone of Durham University. They shouldn’t exist at all, outside the confines of Lola’s mind. But the terrible scratching of claws against flagstone wasn’t a figment of her imagination, as she had first thought, strolling arm-in-arm with Sam on their way home from an end-of-exams party. She didn’t notice them straight away, her gaze sliding over the shadows cast by the faculty buildings. She didn’t notice them until they peeled away from the walls, their darkness thicker and more absolute than the others. Even then she pulled her gaze away, dismissing it. Inebriation hung over her like a thin veil, turning the glow of street lamps into a kaleidoscopic sky.

As the Stone King's reign crumbles, alliances form in unexpected places. But can they withstand the chaos that follows? 🎭 MultiPOV 👑 Court intrigue 🐉 Mythical beasts 🪄 Magic 🙏 Sinister faith 👁️ gods are real 🇰🇪 Kenyan mythology 💔 Love vs duty #QuestPit #Q #A #F

Black graphic with stylized red line art of a castle labeled “The Liitokho (The Lady Eshiala’s Seat).” White text reads “Shortlisted by 3 editors RevPit 2026.” Title: “An Agent’s Guide to Stonebound,” with “Stonebound” in large yellow letters. Subtitle: “an Adult Folkloric High Fantasy Novel by Anindo Zelle,” ~120K words. Tags: African Fantasy, Kenyan Folklore, Mythological Retelling, and “Star-Crossed Lovers Subplot.” Decorative stars, a ringed planet, and dotted footsteps accent the design.

Black infographic-style graphic outlining a fantasy plot. Teal portrait of Sadaka wa Wafula labeled “Eshiala’s ‘token’ leader,” who leads her people under Winam’s occupation and keeps secrets. A note reads “Winam’s ancient Stone King dies,” beside a crowned skull labeled “Not immortal after all.” Red illustration of a fortress labeled “The Odrodh (The Stone King’s Palace).” Text states “Eshiala’s survival demands the unthinkable—marriage to the enemy,” shown with a contract icon. Yellow portrait of Sidhokano wud Mirimalit, “Winam’s youngest Stone Prince,” described as having a “grumpy inner beast.” Dotted paths connect elements with phrases like “The fragile peace shatters” and “The two have history.”

Black infographic-style graphic continuing a fantasy plot. A cloaked figure labeled “Has a covert mission.” Text explains Sadaka searches the Odrodh for a key to Eshiala’s liberation. A couple icon notes “He falls first (but she’s not too far behind)” and that he’s “not the monster she expected.” A key icon marks her discovering how to destroy his kind, though her goals shift. Red text: “Meanwhile… a sinister faith hunts wielders” and “The gods are determined to tear Sadaka & Sidhokano apart,” shown with a temple illustration. Final line: she must choose between betraying him for her people or protecting him and risking both nations.

Black infographic titled “COMPS” and “SNIPPET” in white chalk-style font. Four comp titles with covers and themes: Masquerade (court intrigue, myth retelling), The Final Strife (politics, African mythology), The House of Rust (Kenyan-inspired), and The Broken Earth Trilogy (geologic magic, survival). A teal box shows a Chapter 1 excerpt: “SADAKA. When it came to any body of water larger than her bathing pool at the Liitokho in Mumia, Sadaka wa Wafula tried to follow one rule. Don’t go in. Especially not when facing unknown depths.” Teal stars, a location pin, and dotted footprints decorate the layout.

3. Two hands reaching towards one another
4. A sci-fi inspired, dark uniform with a high collar
5. A grand stairwell, perhaps a futuristic religious site, with a single silhouette looking up
6. Two romantic silhouettes against a starry night sky
7. A lone figure with a backpack, standing amongst a shroud of sand-colored fog
8. A hand covered in glitter
9. A silhouette standing in front of a blue-lit circular tunnel entrance
10. A black woman with glitter coating her shoulder, just the bottom half of her face is visible, lips tilted slightly up in a smile
11. A black woman screaming
12. A stream of light breaking through dark clouds
13. An eye turned to show only the whites
14. Figures in robes seemingly suspended in mid-air
15. A figure on a black, sleek futuristic looking motorcycle

FAEBOUND X LEGENDBORN 🌙Multi POV 🌙Swords, sorcery, and subways 🌙Hidden identities 🌙Diverse folklore 🌙Secret societies #agentsguide #questpit #A #F

An agent’s guide to Stargazer by Natasha DeHere. An Adult Urban Fantasy Stand Alone with Series Potential

In the midst of a centuries-long war, elven Princess Ellery is stripped of her crown and sent on a rite of passage to earn it back within one year and one day. This is the perfect opportunity for her to see the human world. With her former crownguard and a book on human behavior as her guide, Ellery sets off. The only thing she didn't account for was the chaos that is the New York City subway system. Ellery’s situation goes from bad to worse when she discovers someone has sealed the portals. All of them.

Sick of living hidden on Earth under constant threat from human discovery, The Cult of the Sevenstar seek to collapse the barrier that separates the two worlds permanently.

Lost in an unfamiliar world, Ellery must put her trust in an alluring vampire and the ghost of a unicorn to help
find her way back home.

Themes: The Corrupting Influence of Power, Ancestral Grief, Fate vs. Free Will, Self-Discovery, Identity and Trauma, The Futility of War, Human Hubris vs. Nature’s Power, Sacrifice and Breaking Cycles

Snippet: I raise this rally cry for all fellow non-humans around the world. It is time those of Gaean blood stopped passively allowing our human oppressors to defile our heritage. For too long we have lived in fear. We must not allow our magic to atrophy further. We shall bring back true magic to Terra. We will use force if necessary. Look for the signs. Await further instructions.

Title: Pitch
Text: Corado is just trying to survive the night—every night. Being a nightrunner, one of the few brave or foolish enough to defy humanity's vampire masters to traffic himself and others across barony lines, doesn't make it any easier though. With vampire posses stalking the desert during the day and their ravenous Horde filling the sky each night, it's a miracle he's survived as long as he has. Some of it he chalks up to skill, some to instinct, but he knows that when the dawn comes, the main thing seeing him through the night is good old-fashioned luck.

Nothing lasts forever though, and Corado's lucky streak soon comes to a quick and bloody end. After nighttime attack from the Horde leaves him stranded in the desert with a newly-orphaned boy named Hectar, he finds keeping the rest of the world at bay may not be as easy as he thought. Newfound companion in tow, he sets out to find what remains of the boy's family and finally put the whole thing behind him.

But as he knows by now, no job is ever so simple. As he tries to escort Hectar to safety, whispers of rebellion start drifting on the wind. With a world free of the Horde beginning to look like a real possibility, Corado must face vampires, twisted monstrosities, and the darkness lurking in men's hearts before he decides whether the world he's cut himself out of is one worth fighting for after all.

Sharing my #agentsguide for CONDUCT OF MAGES, an #A #F for fans of JADE CITY x SIX OF CROWS When her mentor goes missing Gemma teams up with fellow mage, Ren, to uncover a plot to eradicate mages…one that involves the emergence of a mysterious stone that mimics their powers. #questpit #Q #querying

cover page that says CONDUCT OF MAGES, an adult fantasy complete at 102K words on a moody dark background showing a brown building and orange and yellow paper lanterns

text reads THE VIBES and lists: energy magic, heists & scheming, found family, research subplot, slooow burn, female role models, SE Asian setting. placed on a moody dark background showing a brown building and orange and yellow paper lanterns

text reads FOR FANS OF and then six book covers are displayed, from top left to bottom right: JADE CITY, JASAD HEIR, MISTBORN, HEARTLESS HUNTER, BLOOD OVER BRIGHT HAVEN, and SIX OF CROWS

text reads EXCERPTS. the first is labeled FIRST LINE, and reads “Gemna was sorting through a basket of sparrowberries when she found out that her existence had been outlawed.” the second text bid is labeled CHAPTER 4 and reads: “In all fairness, Yala had never specified just how flammable elderfire was.

The heat was instantaneous and overwhelming. Gemna felt it scorch the edges of her sleeves before she pulled in the energy from the flames and, when she was nearly bursting with it, diverted it towards the two Hands at the front of the shop. The fire died harmlessly at her feet before it could eat its way into the hidden cellar below.”
