It's #QuestPit, so here's an agent's guide to my dark retelling, BEARSKIN 🕯️✨ A tale of winter magic, tragic romance, and embracing the monsters within.

WHERE THE DARK STANDS STILL X MY LADY JANE

A cover page with a polar bear in the background. The text reads: An Agent's Guide to Bearskin, A Fairytale Retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon The Pitch: There’s a troll in Freya Perin’s attic that only she can see, and it’s ruining her flawless reputation. Arranged to wed Kolsevic’s most eligible bachelor, Freya is determined to keep her visions a secret and leave her family’s scandalous legacy of madness behind. But when dark magic freezes her sister’s heart, only Freya knows the truth: a mythical creature called the Frost King is waking. Her only hope for a cure lies deep in the northern mountains, a place steeped in the very magic she’s spent her life hiding from. The journey is treacherous, and desperation forces her to form a pact with Soren, a notorious thief with secrets of his own. Freya and Soren must race to rescue her sister and stop the Frost King from unleashing an eternal winter . . . whilst resisting an attraction that threatens to destroy everything. Comps, Themes & Tropes image. Includes the following comps: Where the Dark Stands Still, The Thirteenth Child, Spinning Silver, and My Lady Jane. Includes the following themes: Dark fairytale retelling, Wicked betrayals, Forced proximity, Yearning, Wintery Ambience, Magical plague, Morally grey FMC, Generational curses The Opening: Freya Perin pretended not to notice the troll lurking in the corner of the parlor. No one else saw the creature, of course, but its beady eyes bored into her skull all the same. It snapped its gnarled fingers once. Twice. It hissed. “Look at me.” Beneath a placid smile, Freya gritted her teeth and focused her attention on her future husband’s well-oiled moustache. After their wedding, that would be the first thing to go.

A MEMORY OF MOONKISSED MALICE Fantasy Dark Academia Feminine Rage Vampires Corrupted Moon Magic Villain Era Protag Queendoms Enemies to Lovers Found Family THE PITCH 18-year-old Alyss Veylas wishes to attend Nocturne Collegiate for one reason—revenge. Five long years after her sister was murdered by the school's guardian, she finally gets that chance. Armed with a Moon Fragment granting memory magic and the aid of her ex and his new girlfriend, Alyss must confront the woman who took away the person she loved most. CHAPTER ONE The rain made it easier to rob his grave. My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night's whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us. Us. As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth. FOR FANS OF... The lush, gothic prose of... A fantasy academia setting similar to... A supernatural mystery like...
