Project title "Ought to Be Thy Adam" with the follow description: "In 1897, after studying corpses and toying with electricity, medical student Viktor has created the man from his darkest, shameful desires. Except guilt forces him to make one final adjustment: female parts. As his new creation gains sentience while vivisected during Viktor's university tour and begins to chafe under Viktor's thumb, a violent death and disobedience leads the monster to make himself into the man he was always meant to be." Below are three square images in a line that function as a mood board. One is of art of a long-haired person tearing out breast tissue, the middle image is of surgical tools, and the final image has a drawn skull with text.

An open journal, there are sketches of a snake and a girl with a braid on the pages, as well as marker test swatches of blue, green and purple. Photographs are taped into it: a dark haired girl wearing blue lipstick, a brunette girl in a tie-dye sticking her sandalled feet into water, a silo with a tree growing out of it, a snowy yard, a pink rose with snow on it, and a mug of cocoa with a small gingerbread man resting against it. On top of the left hand journal page lies a colorful polymer clay oval with a 4 point star symbol adorning it, and a piece of snake shed.

Addict and con artist Ivigh is given an offer he can’t refuse: find the witch damning the dead or be punished for false necromancy. But he shares a dark history with the witch, one rooted in the wound rotting Ivigh's heart and his inability—despite his best efforts—to die.
#BluePit 📖 #Q #A #TR #F
A mood board for Ivigh, the narrator for THE PASSING OF EIR LAHREN showing a grid of four pictures. clockwise from top: dark clouds with pink light coming through; an old, foggy cemetery; brooding man with longer dark hair smoking a hand-rolled cigarette; and a dark, stone chamber with rough hewn columns. In the center is a sigil with the name "IVIGH" A promo image of a ceremonial circle of skulls and long bones with an excerpt from THE PASSING OF EIR LAHREN, which reads: The small square at the mouth of the rear gate is alight. The stone wall is stoved in, mining tunnels collapsed, the scaffolding toppled. The willow is cracked and bent under the weight of the fallen stones. I hear the wind. It gnaws at the broken masonry, coagulating it until chucks drop like searing jellied stock. The runes carved at the top of the wall are broken, what little protection they provided gone. Jutting from the stained earth are bones. Femurs, tarsals, ribs, phalanges reaching, reaching, some still fleshed and naked and accusing. My no-longer-secret cemetery. I stare numbly at the faces of the dead, condemned to unrest so I might have a meal. A fix. For what it’s worth, I’m sorry.

Book title: The Stars & the Ghost They Created Upmarket Contemporary Adult/New Adult Drawing of a boy with a ponytail from behind in the water looking up at the constellations above Premise: When a college student with secrets to hide collides with a girl who is used to running away, neither knows just how deep the cracks in their foundations might go—but sometimes the walls must fall for the beauty beneath to be revealed. Comps: Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead, My Friends, The Wedding People Snippet: CHAPTER 1 The monster never gets forgiven in fairy tales. I’ve read enough to know. The grating rasp of my fingernails scraping against the already-torn skin of my fingers echoes through my bones. Rattling. Never settling. The air hums with overlapping sounds—a symphony of incessant buzzing that crescendos into an eerie ringing. I don’t know whether it’s coming from the electric lights that cast a ghostly halo onto the sidewalk beneath me or from somewhere deep inside my body where I can’t see. It’s suffocating. I imagine it’s what being buried alive feels like. Having your lungs fractured into pieces too small to put back together. Or like drowning. But I know what that feels like.

The time of the image is dark and a bit sad.

A corkboard with multiple photos pinned up, some of them linked by red thread. In the top left is a photo of a rusted silo. A small sapling is inside, and has a lens flare glow off it. This photo has thread to a right hand photo of a snowy creek. The thread then veers back left to two photos of an ocher skinned girl on a motorbike. In the top center is a photo of two girls kissing. It is overlapped by a small blue heart with the words "I love you" and a photo of a rainbow obsidian arrowhead. A new thread comes off this photo, linking to a photo of three hands meeting for a first bump on a table. The other end of the thread links to a photo going out of frame of obsidian shards. In the top right there is a grayscale photo of a blurry girl with a bob cut. She is covering her face with a hand. In the very center a hand is holding up a photo of a smiling blonde and brunette. The photo is burned, with the largest burn rising between the two.

The Night of Fallen Gods

To integrate a sect of worshippers of the “One True God” further into society, the First Daughter of the Alliance must travel to their Holy City, which no outsider has set foot in for two hundred years.

#BluePit📖 #Q #A #F #LGBT
A map of the Alliance of the Nine from The Night of Fallen Gods Imagine you live in a world where war does not exist, and war knocks on your door. For thousands of years the Alliance of the Nine has stood without conflict. All of its peoples, be they Dragon, Elf, Dwarf, Wyldkin, or Human, are able to live the lives they desire with their needs met. None are considered greater than another, and no path in life is considered beneath respect. Until 200 years ago, when another wave of Humans suddenly arrive in this world from another. These people bring with them their One True God, their Savior, along with a fear and rejection of the peoples of the Alliance, their Gods, and all that they stand for. After a city is built for them, they lock the gates and send out only a few of their number every seven years to convert any they can to their ways. Now the Sovereign of the Alliance, in a bid to draw these Faithful into greater society, has finally managed to secure their participation in the All Gods Festival. In exchange however he must send his only daughter as an envoy to the Faithful’s Holy City. And so Roderika, First Daughter of the Alliance, will travel with her childhood friend Arlo in the company of a Sister of the Church to Megiddo, Bastion of the Faithful. Her partner Tala and magic tutor Henet remain behind in the Alliance Capital, suspicious of the Faithful's sudden cooperation and determined to learn more. But all is not as it seems. Hidden machinations march the world ever closer to an event that will shatter a millennia old peace. Towards… The Night of Fallen Gods.

MARK OF A MAGPIE is #OnSubmission! 🐦‍⬛📖

When a small-town thief crosses paths with the kingdom’s big-shot assassin, an unlikely partnership is born; but can their goals align before their egos and secrets land them both a spot on the gallows?

#BluePit📖 #YA #A #F #RF
#OS #DIS #EditorsGuide #Editors
Editor's Guide To MARK OF A MAGPIE Crossover Romantic Fantasy 118k Words Text is on a piece of parchment. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines. Blurb One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy… Ryn is a small-town thief who has a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d be a fool to take up, but with her family scattered across the sea after the draft, a fool is what she’ll need to be to find them. Five for Silver, Six for Gold… Seven is set on his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. Once whispers of the past begin to resurface and nobles begin dying around them, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The castle is under lockdown, and all bets for the crown are placed on their capture. Seven for a Secret, Never to Be Told. Text is on a piece of parchment. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines. Tropes and Themes - Thief x Assassin - Mental Health Rep - Identity vs Duty - Class Difference - Forced Proximity - Secret Code - Morally Gray - Women's Wrongs - Unlikely Allies to Lovers Comps: Throne of Glass's castle-setting murder mystery and theme of "who you are versus what you have to do" meets the banter-heavy dialogue, strong female protagonist, and nautical setting of Daughter of the Pirate King. Text is on a piece of parchment. Beside the text are two headshot drawings: one of a girl with brown hair pulled back by braids, and the other of a black-haired boy with a worried expression. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines. The Atmosphere: There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand. Picture seven shows a bottle of alcohol. Picture eight has a medieval alleyway. And picture eight shows a ship's crew enjoying a sunset. There is text below the collage that says: ON SUBMISSION NOW!
