An #agentsguide for my forced proximity romantasy with Norse-inspired rune magic, queer rep, and a morally grey FMC.

#amquerying #romantasy #NA
Runelight Burning: torturous slow burn, inspiration from Norse mythology and ancient Rome, so much yearning, rune magic with four disciplines, she's the anti-hero, he's the moral compass, queernorm world Blurb: Tensions between mortals and the magic-wielding Àlfr are escalating across Hafvangr. Aelia, a mixed-blood smuggler, has no interest in choosing sides. She just wants to keep her business afloat and her father fed. But when a deal goes sideways, she unleashes a blaze of magic—Runelight—and puts herself centre stage. With a Runelight that echoes a forgotten power of the Sun Goddess, she marks herself as the key to unravelling an enchanted border between realms that’s stopping the mortal army marching. The mortal Emperor is determined to claim her as a weapon, so Aelia strikes a deal with Cahír, a mercenary tied to the road in search of a lost loved one. Cahír, a pure-blood Àlfr like the mother who abandoned her, is the last person Aelia wants to trust. But she needs the cold yet annoyingly principled magic-wielder to help her cross the border and disappear, and he needs coin to continue his search. Neither expects their alliance to spark something more. But as soldiers close in and war looms, Aelia must decide: to hide her magic beyond the border and abandon Cahír to his quest, or wield the Runelight she fears to stay with him on dangerous roads—and risk becoming a pawn in a war that was never hers to fight. It combines the intricate worldbuilding of A Fate Inked in Blood, with the slow-burn romance of The Knight and the Moth, and exploration of conflicted loyalties in Faebound. Excerpt: “Because you Àlfr are the picture of morality, right?” Fire swept through me and I let it consume my flesh and scorch my bones – vanquishing the rot inside as it went. Who was he to talk to me like this? “Banning us from your precious realm so we don’t taint your bloodlines. So us filthy mixed-bloods don’t dilute your Runelight. Bet that’s why you got paid so much for this job, huh? You couldn’t face protecting some Hálfr scum unless the compensation made it worth your while.” Venom-soaked laughter poured from me. “Don’t talk to me as if you’re any better than the rest of them.” My fire ignited a blaze in him. It caught in his eyes, someplace where the roots buried deep. “You don’t know anything about me,” he said, with a quiet intensity that stopped my breath. An inexplicable hurt I couldn’t shy away from. The wind howled, driving sheets of rain into the hollow. “Says the mercenary.” I hurled the insult at him to quiet the drumbeat of my heart, smashing against my rib cage. “Says the smuggler,” he bit back

Spoiler alert. They're both grumpy and annoying.

He's cold but moral.
She's selfish (unless you're her ride or die, then she's loyal as f**k).

Obviously they have the hots for each other.

Want something different to fae / vampires / werewolves?

Let me introduce you to Àlfr! Inspired by Norse Elves, Àlfr wield magic known as Runelight, and channel it through one of four runes, which grant them different abilities: strength, enchantment, healing or elemental creation.

JADE CITY x A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC

When his father is killed by a bloodline curse, the disowned heir to a blood-magic crime family has five days to reunite with his estranged siblings, find the murderer, and break the curse—before it kills them next.

#PosterPit #A #F #W
Welcome to a movie poster mock-up for my adult fantasy WIP, BLOOD BASTARDS. It features a handful of images set against a dark backdrop: blood on pavement, a dagger, three silhouettes striding down an alley, and a bloody hand holding a lit match. At the top of the poster, in place of actors' names, are some genre/story elements featured in the novel: "blood magic," "crime families," "murder mystery," and "sibling drama." Towards the bottom of the poster is a brief pitch for the story, which reads as follows: "When his father is killed by a bloodline curse, the disowned heir to a blood-magic crime family has five days to work with his estranged siblings, find the murderer, and break the curse—before it kills them too."
