Poison, invisibility, & a few allies are all Skyler can depend on when she's forced into a mutiny against her crime lord mentor. The apprentice must use all three wisely or sacrifice her home, her future as a master assassin, and the closest thing to a father she's ever known. #YA #F #Q #Questpit

I think I liked Pitch days (like #questpit) better when only agents and editors were allowed to like pitches. Now I have to sort through all the likes and get disappointed when they aren’t agents.

I don’t have a full little agent guide package for #bluepit so you get my pitch only. I doubt it will get attention without images but oh well. I wasn’t prepared and just found out about it 5 minutes ago.

The cover is here. A Valkyrie saves a mortal warrior she was sworn to let die, and is banished for it. The gods doom his soul, exile her from Valhalla, and send her on an impossible quest. Along the way, she finds exile, defiance, and a shieldmaiden who makes choosing love feel inevitable.
