A scholarship student, she is swayed by the suggestion of her favorite professor to join a study group he’s created for his Classical Mythology course. The students in the group adopt her quickly, but Matilda’s past has made her wary and anxious of new people and their intentions. When she finds herself drawn toward two of the people in the group, including an unexplainable feeling like she’s met one of them before, Matilda is thrown in the middle of a situation she couldn’t have seen coming. Weird dreams and the fact that her life might not be what she thought it was force Matilda to question whether her fate was already decided, or if someone else is pulling the strings… How does one juggle school work, healing trauma, finding love, and supporting a diverse community, while also fighting for their fate and the rest of the world?

🏵Journey of self-discovery

#PopuppitA #luckypit #F #A #agentsguide
Agent's Guide to Shadow's Gift. One woman's fight for love, conscience, and freedom under a totalitarian regime. Adult character-driven epic fantasy. WC 101,000 Comp Titles: Bone Shard Daughter: secret magic, journey of self-discovery, torn loyalties, rising revolution. Song to Drown Rivers: Love and sacrifice, political intrigue, espionage, lyrical prose. Midnight Bargain: freedom through autonomy and true individuality. Perceptive, artistic Syrala longs to escape from her ruthless parents and find a way to fill the strange emptiness within her. When the queen selects her to marry Crown Prince Ailok, Syrala is elated. However, her newfound freedom is not what she expected. Although the brooding prince is supportive, he is powerless against his own mother, who chose Syrala as a pawn to subjugate her influential province. Despite Syrala’s attempts at peacemaking, the malicious queen undermines Syrala, assigns spies to report her activities, and exploits court politics to control her. Then Syrala discovers the truth: to gain power during the War, the queen severed her subjects from their deepest selves, leaving them as shallow husks. An underground resistance – led by those who escaped this fate – begs Syrala to join their fight. To persuade her, they reunite her with her own soul, a shadowy mirror-image of herself. Reunited, no longer empty, Syrala experiences the world anew. But isolated in the palace, she is soon caught between her wish to aid the Resistance and her growing love for Ailok. As the queen’s snares tighten around Syrala and the Resistance leaders, Syrala must use all her wits to navigate treacherous alliances, to subvert the dynasty from within, and to fight for the souls of the kingdom’s beleaguered subjects – and her own. Opening Lines: When emptiness gnawed, Syrala painted. Her grandmother taught her: Seek solitude and focus on your art. Allow space for emptiness, and listen. This will help. For now. Pictures: mysterious temple in forest, masked man, cloaked figure on palace balcony, sub-tropical water garden, statue of young woman with webbing over her face, woman holding a knife behind her back, soul made of stars, burned village, dark queen.
