The title “covenant of the damned” is laid over a painting of a man being knighted by a queen. The text indicates that it is a dual point of view 119k word holy grail romantic fantasy book Painting of a hand holding a sword in the background. The text indicates that this book is perfect for fans of [Lady] Knights of the Round Table retellings and every Gilmore Girls stan who was rooting for Rory to end up with Jess Mariano. The image also includes the following text pitch: When the Lord she’s sworn to protect is poisoned, a headstrong guard reluctantly allies with a loathsome king to find the Holy Grail before the Lord dies or the relic falls into the hands of evil sorcerers.Photos of different comps are on this slide. This book comps Bridgerton season 2 and the Princess Bride movie for slow burn romance. It compares the elemental magic system to the one in Stacey McEwan’s “A forbidden alchemy” and draws a comparison to Rachel Gillig’s “The Knight and the Moth” for Lady Knight elements. It also compares National Treasure and “The Will of the Many” as comps for epic questsmoodboard depicting the vibes of the book including: a coastal landscape, medieval architecture, swords, a couple dancing in a ballroom, a blonde woman, green silk, stained glass windows, a coronation, and knight armor

An agent's guide for Song of the Sickle, an adult romantic fantasy, 118k words, first in a planned series. Background picture of wheat field. Big picture of amber ring. Small picture of burning incense.The pitch, beside a picture of a military training camp and an old watchtower covered in moss. What if Mulan had magic, and instead of being rejected as a bride, she was rejected by the gods?Comp titles over the picture of wheatfield. The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem for hidden identity and forbidden magic. Blood & Steel by Helen Scheuerer for training ground romance. The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig for weaponized faith system.Opening lines of the book beside a picture of a sickle with wheat. Tomorrow, the gods would judge me. Tonight, I pretended they didn't exist. I swung the scythe, blade slicing through wheat. My shoulders screamed, but at least the burn was honest. Sweat tracked tracks through the chaff dusting my skin, but I kept moving. One more row. One more bundle. Anything to keep my thoughts at bay.

This is a red graphic with a blue pond in the middle, surrounded by black trees. At the top is the title of the manuscript: Years of Red Tears. At the bottom, it reads: 98k-word speculative literary, now querying. In the middle of the pond are three pieces of floating character art of the MC, depicting him as both his past florist self and his present alternate-China noble self. Surrounding him are water ripples and lily pads.

Background with dark green vines. Text in white in the middle: “An agents guide to Wilted Fate, adult fantasy with romance, 108.000 words”
Background with dark green vines. Header: The Pitch, followed by two pictures. The first one of several women with white large bonnets and red capes, taken from the series The Handmaid’s Tale, and next to it is a picture of the myth The Wild Hunt from Norse mythology. On top of both pictures is text: The Handmaid’s Tale meets Norse mythology. Below is the pitchBackground with dark green vines. Header: First page.  “There was no doubt in my mind that if the force of fate was real, it was female.A male could never have this sense of humor.I would’ve laughed, at least, at my hesitation to mount the tense mare before me. I’d lost count of how many times I had lifted my knee, only to straighten it out again. But only fate was to blame for putting me in this position, no matter how much I tried to avoid the inevitable. “Just put your foot in the stirrup,” Natha coaxed. Sure. Only, it wasn’t just ‘just’ putting my foot in the stirrup. I glared at the iron, then up at the seat of the saddle, and back to Natha, who impatiently shifted on her feet. My fingers tightened around the stirrup leather, my other hand flexing on the pommel. “Want to switch places?” “Gods, no.” She pulled on Bejla’s reins to keep her still. I followed the mare’s movements, keeping my position close to her side. “But you’re running out of time.” I cast a glance at the stable and Arkyn’s office window. Gods help me if he was watching. I inhaled deeply, trying but failing to keep my limbs relaxed and hopefully transferring it to Bejla. I grew some grass in my hand with my powers and held it out to her muzzle. As always, she saw right through my bullshit. She clamped her large lips around the blades, hastily chewed, and went back to raising her tense neck.

The one spell she taught me. I didn’t have her long enough to teach me anything else. She was murdered before the flavour of honey faded on my tongue."

Cover slide to introduce the microtropes that you can expect to see in "Covenant of the Damned," a 119k romantic fantasy that is now querying. The background is an ethereal oil painting the microtropes listed are: reluctant allies, only one horse, he's been thirty for the last 230 years, elemental-based magic systems, lady knights, she's the chosen one, and he tends to her wounds. There's an icon of a computer cursor hovering over a box that says "select all," to indicate that all microtropes are present in "Covenant of the Damned"On this slide there is a painted hand holding a sword and a repetition of the pitch. The image also states that this book is perfect for fans of [Lady] Knights of the Round Table retellings and every Gilmore Girls stan who was rooting for Rory to end up with Jess Mariano.

THE CELESTIAL RING BY H.K.SMITH THE OPENING of THE CELESTIAL RING BY H.K. SMITH 

The promise of imminent death feels briefly distant as I cut through the canyon of glass and steel toward Her. I match Orion's pace, stride for stride. For tradition's sake, we've been walking since dawn but we're still five long blocks away from the nearest checkpoint. By the time the sun's white disc clears those towers, She'll have already cast Her judgment.
