THE KEEPERS is a #literaryfantasy

Magic is abnormal, and so taboo, in a matriarchal world

After losing everything, Aleris accepts her magic—then changes fate itself

But when a queen feels threatened, she's ready to declare war on witchkind
and burn them all

An agent’s guide to: “Mark of a Magpie” YA Romantic Fantasy 119k Words Behind the text is a piece of parchment paper surrounded by ocean water and gold flower outlines. Blurb: One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy… Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes. Five for Silver, Six for Gold… Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them. Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told. The text is on a piece of parchment paper, with ocean water and gold flower outlines behind it. Tropes: Thief x Assassin Mental Health Rep Identity vs Duty Class Difference Forced Proximity Secret Code Morally Gray Women’s Wrongs Unlikely Allies to Lovers Text is on a piece of parchment paper. Besides the text are two headshot drawings: one of a girl with brown hair pulled back by braids, and the other of a black-haired boy with a worried expression. Behind the parchment paper are ocean waters with gold flower outlines. The Atmosphere: There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand. Behind the collage of pictures are ocean waters, with gold flower outlines surrounding it.

A moodboard for Camp Fearless, showing a blonde and brunette teenage boy looking away from the camera. Other images include: two pairs of legs dangling off a dock, a still, greyish lake, a depressing looking cafeteria lunch on a tray, white hands raised in worship before a blue sky, a campfire, an outdoor chapel made of rugged wood, and a picture of three white teenagers in plain t-shirts with shaved heads. At the bottom is a graphic of a contract with the signatures “Luke Kelly” in messy handwriting and “David Jacobs” in neat handwriting.
