When Moira’s father is suddenly arrested and thrown into prison, she willingly takes over her family’s merchant marine business...but she quickly learns her father was involved in more than just trading goods and supplies. Moira and her crew sail west to seek trade and answers in the neighboring country of Sildha, where magic is welcomed and the country is wild and ready for growth.

None came to relieve them of their watch. Perhaps again, this was the hand the gods. Or perhaps their companions were simply tired. An easy silence fell, sparked only by the cracking of a log, the hiss of the fire. Alwyn never let go of her hand.

A collage of six images and a few text bubbles. The images are: 1) a smiling girl with big red X's over her eyes 2) A view from inside a cave looking out at the ocean. 3) A cliff overlooking the ocean. 4) A distant view of a road through trees. 5) The silhouette of a girl standing in front of a bright green light. 6) A black and white image of a hand covered in unidentified black substance, with the word help written over it. The first text box reads "Something is wrong in" and leads to a big word graphic over the entire poster reading "Bludeye Beach". The other text bubbles read "Is something out there", "Never walk home alone at night", and "Cat, Manny, Milo...what do they know?" A collage of six images; three rows with two images each. 1. An ocean cave entrance shot from inside the cave, looking toward the horizon. 2. A birch tree with a sign hanging on it reading Bludeye Beach est. 1818. 3. Two hands reaching toward each other but not touching. 4. A silhouette of a girl standing in front of a bright, green light. 5. A forest of dark, spooky trees. 6. A girl's face, looking distressed, with the shadows of fingers overlaid. Overlaid is the text: While visiting her estranged father, Edie Grayson falls in love with his little seaside town; but there's a dark undercurrent here, and Edie has to find out: what is wrong in Bludeye Beach? A watercolor of trees beside a road. The largest central tree has an eye symbol in the middle of its trunk. Text over the picture reads: For fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Dresden Files, Nettle & Bone An image of a beach with text overlaid: “There’s something wrong in Bludeye, isn’t there?” Edie asked in a hushed voice. Milo didn’t say anything. Edie bit her lip. “A lot of people die around here, don’t they?” Milo nodded, once. “And it’s not all accidents and wild animals, is it?” Milo shook his head, once. “And you’re…involved in it?”

To literary agents or authors. Is it worthwhile to mention in a query letter, if the writer started out writing fan fiction that went viral on wattpad?

I recently joined Bluesky!
For agents who love folklore and retellings that have not gotten their due. Music in the shadows is a pied piper retelling with fantasy like elements akin to Throne of glass with a POC morally grey main character
