🃏 Read these words twice. Sign your name once.

Evermore isn’t a school. It’s a deadly game.

Every move is counted. Every mistake recorded.

The only way out is to win.

And losing means meeting a fate far worse than death.

ATLAS SIX x Caraval, YA

#PopUpPitA #PopUpPit #litagent #amquerying
A letter of acceptance to evermore, a school that is a deadly game.

Evermore isn’t a school. It’s a deadly game where students compete for a place in the afterlife.

Every move is counted. Every mistake is recorded.

Arabella wants out, even if escape means trusting the daemon who could destroy her.

DAWN OF ONYX x DISCOVERY OF WITCHES

Divine fate must be broken if it thinks Alys Sathos is supposed to help free the enemy witch realm of their compulsion wielding Queen and not even the brooding Prince who captured her is going to change her mind.

#LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #F #A
An Agent’s Guide to Eleutheria. 133k Adult high Romantic fantasy. Image of woman in a glass dome holding a moon in one hand and in other. Pitch: Alys Sathos has no interest in liberating the enemy Night Realm of their mind-controlling queen and not even destiny will change her mind. When she’s captured and forced before the queen, her enemies’ fight becomes her own and her growing feelings for the mind-bound prince might be more deadly than the queen herself. Tropes: captive to forbidden lovers, freewill themes, mob mentality, non western FMC thrust into western fantasy world, neurodivergence in high fantasy, dueling witch realms, swords and epic battles, power of history and books, queer normative world Comps: THE HURRICANE WARS- enemy realms at odds. A DAWN OF ONYX- captive to lovers. A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES- creature history and lore Chapter One Sample: Gritting my teeth until my jaw ached, I held her stare; a pathetic bit of defiance against power I couldn’t match. She rose and loomed over me on the dais, never blinking. The hairs on the back of my neck prickled one by one as her dark sapphire eyes glowed silver. Compulsion. Icy fingers sank into my mind, ripping through my will. Ko’s pale green face replaced any other thought. A desire to run a sword through him overtook everything; my hopes, my dreams, my very will that had formed an airwitch captain from an orphaned street rat.

Slow Horses x Dark Matter

When an intelligence agent is framed for the UK's role in a temporal disaster, he must clear his name and seal a lethal time rift - before a Russian spy from the future gets everyone killed.

#A #T #SF #PopUpPitA #PopUpPit #LuckyPit #litagents #agentguide 🦋
Dark blue background with time-delay image of the night-time stars. They resemble a tunnel. Text reads: An agent's guide to: Out of Time By Gert Ramm Espionage/time travel/Thriller Images from Pixabay. Dark blue background with time-delay image of the night-time stars. They resemble a tunnel. Text reads: 1972 has been a rough year for intelligence officer Eddie Fletcher, and it’s only January. First he discovers the Cold War is really about time travel, then he’s framed for the UK’s role in a temporal disaster. Sealing a lethal time rift is the only way to clear his name - much easier said than done when he’s being hunted by the British government. Then there's a Russian spy on a mission so vital he’s travelled from 1997 to complete it. Pitch: Slow Horses X Time Travel Images from Pixabay. Dark blue background with time-delay image of the night-time stars. They resemble a tunnel. Text reads: Comps: Slough House Series (Mick Herron) Wrong Place, Wrong Time (Gillian McAllister) Four Minutes (Brian Andrews/Jeff Wilson) Dark Matter (Blake Crouch) TV Comps: The Ipress File Day of the Jackal Life on Mars Callan Images from Pixabay Dark blue background with time-delay image of the night-time stars. They resemble a tunnel. Text reads: The text in the left-hand panel reads: Themes: Loyalty Betrayal Sacrifice Power Trust The text in the right-hand panel reads: First page: His coat smelled of Hermès Caleche, a heady reminder of his last embrace with Friede. She was the reason he'd come to this forgotten place tonight, but he couldn't be distracted by her. Taking his eye off the ball would get him killed. Edmund Fletcher's attention snapped into focus as he forced his lover from his mind. He padded through the disused sewer, catching the occasional whiff of human effluent still lingering in the brickwork, his penlight illuminating a narrow arched tunnel stretching ahead into darkness. Water trickled down the walls to form black, glistening pools on the floor and he shivered, quickening his pace. It was always cold so far below ground, heavy snow in the streets above had lowered the temperature further. He'd used this labyrinthine system often enough to know the layout by heart. He was directly below the Berlin wall now, Soviet territory lay only thirty feet ahead. While he held East German security services in the highest esteem, after four years in the smuggling business he knew how to stay ahead of them. Images from Pixabay

After returning to her family’s crumbling estate and finding the gardener dead, a reluctant heiress partners with his son to break a generational curse before it claims her too.

🕯 Gaslight, Gatekeep, Ghosts
🔥 If the House Doesn’t Kill You, Love Might

#LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #PopUpPit #H #A #Gothic
Nineteen-year-old Lottie Bradbury is called home to her crumbling family estate with an ultimatum: marry or let the Bradbury name die. But in a post-war world where old traditions are crumbling and women are claiming new independence, Lottie refuses to be controlled. Her introduction is disrupted when the gardener is found dead, his skull shattered on the manor steps. His son, Arthur, warns Lottie that the house is hungry, that it killed his father—just as it did her mother a decade ago. And it’s not finished. Determined to seize control of her own fate, Lottie digs into the manor’s past, only to realize the house has other plans. Strange footsteps at night. Whispers slithering through the halls. Shadows shifting where none should be. Arthur insists the manor is alive, feeding on the sins of her ancestors, that her family is cursed. But he’s not the only one keeping secrets, and the deeper she digs, the harder it is to know who to trust. THE LAST HEIR OF BRADBURY MANOR is a slow-burn gothic horror set in 1919, blending the creeping dread of The Hacienda with the sentient menace of Starling House. A tale of inheritance, obsession, and a house that refuses to let go. The manuscript is complete at 96,000 words. Comps for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor: Starling House: Dark inheritance, Family secrets, Sentient house The Hacienda: Unresolved grief, Psychological unraveling, Supernatural dread Crimson Peak: Decaying grandeur, Gothic vibes A mood board for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor with... A decaying, messed up sitting room A spooky staincase with a girl walking A girl climbing out of a well A book on fire A cozy Edwardian dinner party A spooky gothic dinner party Text that reads: breaking the curse means losing him forever.

A Southern inheritance is always dark—whether it's a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra spurns them all, but when her dad disappears, she must choose which monsters to slay, and which to become.
