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.

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.”

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.

Intelligent and headstrong, Sigrun chafes at the way she is dismissed by the men in her life. If she had her choice, she would travel the world as a seeress the way her grandmother once did. Unfortunately, she has no gift for divination. Besides, she knows her role, political marriage for her uncle’s gain.
But when raiders attack her people, everything changes. Instead of being married off, Sigrun pledges herself to a dragon to buy his protection for her village
Vidmyrkr is a 900-year-old dragon who has always been fascinated by humanity. The dragon collects men the way he collects treasure, including a Roman soldier who leads his army of immortal warriors and a Christian monk who chronicles his exploits.
And now he has a Freya-blessed maiden who tells him stories. He gives her one month to prove she’s worth more than the tribute her uncle failed to raise. But this time, he’s taken on more than he bargained for.
Complete at 93,000 words, THE MAIDEN AND THE ENDLESS DARKNESS is a historical romantasy set in the Norse world of the 9th century. A standalone with series potential.
Slow-burn romance
subverts the maiden and the dragon trope
Incorporates norse mythological characters and Scandinavian folk tales
Will appeal to readers of The Road of Bones by Demi Winters and The Weaver and the Witch Queen by Genevieve Gornichec.

My main character is prickly recluse with the tenacity of a noxious weed, planting herself where she doesn’t belong. But uprooted, facing mortal peril and her own social ineptitude, she may finally learn to bloom. 🌻 Querying late 2026 #BluePitHype #📖 #F #A #W #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

You're an unregistered spy-for-hire, and you need a tattoo declaring your ability for your next job. Do you: A.) sign up with the regime & go legit B.) get the disgraced occultist in the alleyway to ink you for a cup of coffee C.) make out w/ the regime-sympathizer’s hot son #QuestPit #Q #RF #F #D
