UPROOTED x NAUSICAÄ

🪲 A naïve natural historian in desperate need of a guide through the cursed forest.

🌌 A non-binary rogue who will do anything to rescue their family.

A collage of images, going from top left clockwise: a bouquet of colorful berries, swooping white towers with spiral balconies, a shiny purple beetle, a colorful shop full of knick-knacks, a blooming crocus in a dark forest, a drawing of a woman reaching out to the night sky as if to pluck a star, a crumbling castle on a moor, and mushrooms growing on a tree. In the center is a quote by Virginia Woolf: “I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you’re everything that exists, the reality of everything.”

CIRCE 𒉽 MIDSOMMAR 𒉽 Ancient Babylon

A spoiled muse strikes a deal with an innocent butcher: if he helps her take down a mysterious human cult, she'll heal his father. But when she starts falling for him—a common mortal—it's the first sign of her own indoctrination...

A collage with an ancient mythological and fantasy atmosphere, featuring a circle of women, maybe witches, dancing around a fire in a cult ritual, a picture of papyrus, a picture of figs, a picture of a donkey hauling goods for the market along a babylonian street, an image of a woman - a goddess or muse - emerging from the water in a glowing silk dress, and a close-up of desert sand.

CRIER'S WARxCITY OF DUSK

Politicians want one thing from them.

The Gods want another.

As Onesta and Aurelia find themselves in the squabbles of the powerful, they set out on a mission that they never agreed to: only to find that their true mission is much more consequential.

#QuestPit #W #A #F

Over a background of clouds in black and white are nice squares. From top left to bottom right, they are as follows:
A statue of a woman holding a bow, standing atop a fountain, with trees behind her.
A room with three arches windows.
A foggy, rocky beach.
A close up of a flowering tree.
A white square with Cursed Blessings written in it.
A black dragon in the fog.
Two horseback riders on a beach.
A black cat sitting on an iron fence with bare branches behind it.
A picture of redwood trees, angled up to look at their tops.

Black and white artwork of a dragon with its wings and tail fading into shadow, looking at a tuxedo cat and a gray and white fluffy cat.

Agent guide to Cursed Blessings, 100,000 word adult fantasy. The background image is a sun setting over the ocean. In front are three text blurbs.

Pitch: When a woman with a powerful Blessing of persuasion finds herself at the mercy of a corrupt politician, she finds connection in the most unexpected place: a vengeful woman from the enemy country. As they find themselves caught up in the schemings of those who'd use their gifts for evil, they are the only ones who can prevent a centuries-old tension from finally boiling over.

Comps: Crier's War by Nina Varela, The City of Dusk by Tara Sim, The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo

Tropes & Themes: sapphic fantasy, dual POV, gods-based magic system, enemies to lovers to "it's complicated," Mediterranean landscape, magical creatures, lots of cats
