Starless Sea🔮Addie LaRue✨Piranesi 

1800s London. Alchemists can extract a person’s soul by solidifying and removing their pain and suffering. Consuming the resultant ‘seed’ confers malign immortality. In an age of unchecked technological development, is this an advance too far?

Your monthly reminder:

Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write.

A mortal man with no memory of his past and a goddess the earth has no memory of compete for their university’s magic in a world where magic, and the language that sustains it, is dying…

…and whichever student loses will have their own extinction to worry about 💀🥀

A woman with long, golden hair, amber eyes, freckles across her nose and cheeks, golden skin, and white flowers in her hair. She has a warm expression, and is holding an old green book and wearing a scarlet dress. Standing behind her is a man with dark, messy hair, deep blue eyes, pale skin, and sharp features. He’s frowning with his hands in his pockets, and is wearing a white shirt with leather braces. The image is stylised like a painting with a dark, stormy black and grey background, and features smudges and paint streaks that help create a dreamy sort of vibe to the portrait.

Three-panel moodboard consisting of three pieces by Alphonse Mucha. Left: Emerald. A serpent snarls at the viewer from amidst green lilies. Center: The Moon. A woman wearing nothing but a navy blanket covered in stars stands against a backdrop consisting of the night sky and a crescent moon. She covers her smile with one hand. This image is noticeably lower in quality than its neighboring panels. Right: Salon des Cent. A woman conceals her mouth with a hand, her index finger curled down. She's glaring intensely at the viewer. A golden filigree lines the bottom and frames the sides, partially covering the left and right panels.

An Agent’s Guide to The Land of Undying Summer By Ivy T. Woods Adult romantic fantasy 99,000 words On a background of a map is a potted plant and a pestle On the left is a piece of paper containing a picture of mountains and a river. Pitch After a wandering mage’s equipment is stolen he is strong armed into helping a disillusioned death priestess identify why no more mages are being born and how to fix it. As the two grow reluctantly closer, they find that the enemy is not always where it seems. With roots in animistic religion and a setting inspired by the Canadian sub-arctic, THE LAND OF UNDYING SUMMER is a stand-alone with series potential. Comps The Gilded Crown by Marianne Gordon Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang Vibes of with two arrows pointing at both book covers Chapter One - The End of Darkness Tilaani stepped through the Wolf’s Fangs, squinting into the bright light of early spring. The snow that clung to the mountain glittered in the bright afternoon sun. “Shit.” She snatched her cloak from an icy stalagmite and darted into a slim crack in the cliff face. The frozen stone was still jagged from when the cliff had split and the edges tugged at her shirt as she sidled through, cloak still clutched in one hand. Time warped within the cavern, stretching and compressing at random. Sometimes she would emerge to find that only a few minutes had passed outside. Today, the few hours she had spent being lectured by the spirits of the Ancients had become nearly an entire night and day in the land of the living. The dead delighted in wasting her time, especially when she had actual duties to perform. Allak would be insufferable if she was late.

She has this quote: Continue to love Continue to forgive Continue to grow Mira is shown in the reflection of an ornate mirror. She is wearing long white gloves and a pink ballgown with her hair in a natural updo and the lesbian pride flag is subtly depicted over her photo. There is another photo of two girls kissing in the surf at sunset.

The image shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

Cream background with gray lines curving across it. Brown outlines of flowers border the top left and bottom right corners. “An Agent’s Guide To,” “A Crown of Poison,” “YA Fantasy - 95k words,” and “Alyssa Archer” mark the center of the page in brown. Three graphics of amber jars with white labels sit on a brown wooden shelf. “Craft Your Poison” marks the front of the shelf in black cursive. First jar: A yellow flower with green stems sits inside the jar. “Ingredient,” “Enemies to Lovers,” and “‘If you’re going to threaten to poison me, you should understand what you’re trying to poison me with’” mark the label. Second jar: Dark indigo berries with lime green leaves fill the jar. “Ingredient,” “Involuntary visions of the future,” and “Blue, unseeing eyes bore into me. Their emptiness seizes my consciousness, twisting it awake. When I blink, the woman’s eyes close, and she disappears into the darkness” marks the label. Third jar: A green leaf sits inside the jar. “Ingredient,” “Lessons in poison,” and “]I thought you couldn’t digest information from just reading.’ His chin dips, waiting to see if I uphold the lie I forgot about. I shrug. ‘It had drawings’” marks the label. An aged sheet of parchment lies across a light wood table. “First page” with a line beneath it marks the top of the parchment. Text fills the rest of the parchment: Heat skitters across my legs and arms as I sink into the tub in my grandmother Leelee’s washroom. The lavender and rose-perfumed water suffocates the darkened room. My nose flinches at the disturbingly familiar scents, and my eyelids squeeze shut as I remember my vision from five years ago. The bloody images flash behind my eyes, and piercing screams reverberate in my ears. My gloved fingers scrape the tub’s sides as they curl into fists. “Star.” River’s even voice draws me back to the present and to what I promised her I’d do. I meet River’s pale Seer eyes. They mirror my own; my sky-blue irises faded to almost white after my Seer abilities showed at twelve. “Yes,” I grumble, irritated with her forcing me to trigger my first vision. Even though we do this every week, I hate it. I’d rather wear sopping clothes everyday than remember what happened on my twelfth birthday. I’m only obeying her wishes because of the deal we made when I was thirteen. The pleasant warmth from the bath loosens the knots in my back, and my anxious breaths slow until they’re steady. “Are you ready?” River’s dress plumes around her as she kneels beside the wooden tub. “Yes.” She unsheathes her dagger and flips her hand. A shard of light slips through the closed curtains, highlighting the dark edges of the Eye on her palm. She presses the blade’s tip into the pad of her index finger, and crimson bubbles from the wound. After sheathing her dagger, she leans over the steaming water, positioning her finger beneath my nose. A collage with 12 photos. First photo is of yellow daffodils. Second photo is the book cover of “Violet Made of Thorns” by Gina Chen. Gold roses on green vines curve up the purple cover. Third photo is of a wine glass filled with a crimson liquid and dried flowers. Fourth photo is of a golden crown on a stool covered by a tan sheet. Fifth photo is of purple foxglove in a blurred field. Sixth photo is of a blond woman wearing a blue gown in front of a wall of red flowers. Seventh photo is of a blond man lying on the floor with a necklace dangling over his head. Eighth photo is a close-up of a light blue eye beside white flowers on the grass. Ninth photo is of a cliff with the sea at its bottom. Tenth photo is of the black pommel of a rusty sword. Eleventh photo is the book cover of “Defy the Night” by Brigid Kemmerer. Purple flowers surround a far away shot of a castle on the purple book cover. Twelfth photo is of purple calla lilies.

Agent guide to I Am Chosen, an M/M paranormal romance written by Dawn Berkoski. The picture is of a fiery orange and purple sunset over a highway. Photography by Dawn Berkoski Several photos are shown in this Moodboard for I Am Chosen, a paranormal romance written by Dawn Berkoski. From the top left, a glass of aged scotch surrounded by butterscotch candies, a CEO standing in a high rise office, staring out a window, a giant hotel clock surrounded by Christmas decor, a photo of art depicting demons rising from hell, a sunset with black, billowy clouds hovering over an orange stripe, a dirty cement staircase near a darkened entrance, and the city of London as viewed from the river. Photography, except the man, by Dawn Berkoski Photo is of a vibrant sunset over a graveyard as seen from the window of a fast moving vehicle. It reads: PITCH IN A WORLD CONTROLLED BY CORPORATE VAMPIRES, TWO MEN STRUGGLE FOR AUTONOMY. WILL A CHANCE MEETING LEAD THEM TO FREEDOM, OR A WEB OF SUBTERFUGE, WHERE EVERY THREAD BRINGS A MONSTER OFFERING DEATH OR PERMANTENT CONFINEMENT? Photo by Dawn Berkoski Book vibes are all about the feel of the writing, setting, and story. The Blue Blood Series by Melissa de la Cruz Is used to represent the wealthy elite vampires living in New York, the fish out of water trope, dark secrets, and others. The Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is used to represent young vampires rebelling against old rules and customs. Travel and setting also play a role. A plot point was inspired by the novel. Yakuza, Japan’s Criminal Underworld by David Kaplan and Alec Dubro, is used to represent some of the vampire rivals business practices. It plays a role in the series arch.
