Decorative parchment-style cover with ornate corners. Large text reads “An Agent’s Guide to: Obsidian Dawn” with the subtitle “A Courtly Romantic Fantasy.” Split parchment slide. Left column headed “The Pitch” gives a three-paragraph blurb: Obsidian is the last mermaid, forged into a weapon by the exiled fae Sun Court. A creeping blight devours her home. She must infiltrate a rival court as emissary and spy, leaving behind a first love betrothed to another, while a sharp-tongued prince’s dangerous bargain threatens to make her saviour or saboteur. If she fails the blight consumes all; if she succeeds it may cost herself. Tagline reads “Ophelia reimagined—if she rose in fury instead of drowning in despair.” Right column headed “Opening Lines” shows the book’s first paragraphs about a storm, cannonballs, and Ashera at the water’s edge contemplating her choices. Four book covers arranged in a grid with short notes. “The Serpent and the Wings of Night” (outsider yearning to belong and nature-versus-nurture tension); “Faebound” (queer romance and courtly politics); “The Rose Bargain” (family burdens, wayward bargains, alluring princes); “Quicksilver” (being valued only for what you can do and the hateful wanting). Title at top reads “COMPS.” Dark wood background with ornate corners. Center grid of nine images including chess pieces, a Black woman in a white dress, daggers, a golden sea, a mermaid tail, a library, and shadowy figures. Arrows label tropes: “Court intrigue with wayward bargains,” “Forbidden Love & Unwilling Allies,” “Sharp-Tongued Prince × Uptight, Stabby FMC,” “The last of her kind,” “Bi FMC,” “Knife to throat tension,” “Adoptive mother–daughter bond,” “Class systems, prejudice & otherness,” “Nature vs Nurture,” and “Love as both weapon & weakness.” Title at top reads “TROPES.”
