Demon Zarazîn steals an exorcist into Hell like a forbidden fruit from Eden—an enemy he is meant to damn, not crave. But if exposed, his treason will cost him everything...his lover's life and his very soul.

For #QuestPit Queer romance FOREWARNING
❤️ NB/M Prince/Royal guard
🧡 Mutual pining
💛 Bodyguard romance
💚 Best friends to lovers
💙 Psychic powers
💜 Seeing gorgeous half-naked men in your future but also death omens :/

The pitch for Forewarning:

Queer Romance FOREWARNING

Prince Cole doesn't know why he psychically sees people's doppelgangers acting out the future, but it does come in handy. Cole's other secret not so much—he's desperately in love with his childhood best friend, royal guardsman Lucas, not least because Luc staunchly supports Cole being an openly nonbinary royal.

Unfortunately, Cole can't marry a guardsman, and sweet, introverted Luc would never want to be a royal spouse anyway. But when a head of state is murdered and Cole's life is threatened, Luc steps in as Cole's 24/7 bodyguard.

Together they must find a legendary weapon of mass destruction that threatens their own lives—and millions more. (And really, it would be easier for Cole to concentrate if his gorgeous bodyguard wasn't wandering around their room half-naked, but whatever. It's fine.)

The first line of Forewarning: "Cole told himself it was absolutely fine to have his secret crush's hands in his hair right there in the hallway in front of everybody."

Part of a mood board for Forewarning: A 3x3 grid of 9 squares

ADULT SIX OF CROWS WITH GHOSTS

Jack’s sworn to protect the dead, so when a book on harvesting magic from ghosts falls into the wrong hands, he’ll stop at nothing to steal it back. His crew has a few more scruples. The masked serial killer offering to partner up? Less so.

Dowry of Blood x The Death of Jane Lawrence x Saltburn

🩸1975 small English town
🩸cursed vampiric witches
🩸queer obsession
🩸everyone's guilty

(Original artwork by yours truly)
#QuestPit #F #A #Q #LGBTQIA #WritingCommunity

Image: a white hare sleeping in a golden frame with a black snake coiled around it
Title: The Dark Swan
Blurb: the witches are hungry, but Eddie Sharpe is famished...

Pitch: A cursed vampiric coven binds gentle, pliant Edmund Sharpe to lifelong servitude. He fights to keep his soul from the coven’s decay, but his shared obsession with their enforcer slowly erodes his morality. When his buried magic surfaces, Edmund wields the power to either destroy his captors or join their hunger to survive.

Mood. Quote: “I want you to crack my ribs open and sink your teeth into my heart, wrap your fingers around it and tear it loose so you could always carry me with you. I want to see it beat in your mouth before you swallow it whole.”

Third row: Several pink and white trails traveling the length of a dark road with buildings behind them, a female-appearing angel statue looking down at the ground, two hands grasping the edge of a cliff with a dark ocean behind.

JADE CITY x HEARTLESS HUNTER

When her mentor goes missing, Gemna joins forces with fellow mage Ren, to unravel the connection b/w the string of disappearances and a terrible discovery that could mean a future where mages are not just outlawed…but wiped from existence.

#A #F #Questpit #Q #querying

red movie poster style image that has the tagline “mages are disappearing…Gemna will risk everything to find out why” and the title CONDUCT OF MAGES. text below included the details “NOW QUERYING” and “An Adult Fantasy, complete at 102K words”

title reads THE PITCH and detailed language says: When her mentor goes missing, Gemna joins forces with fellow mage, Ren, to unravel the connection between the string of disappearances and a terrible discovery that could mean a future where mages are not just outlawed…but wiped from existence.

it then says FOR FANS OF and displays 3 book covers: Six of Crows, Blood Over Bright Haven, and Jade City

page title says FROM EARLY READERS and lists the following quotes:

You have such a talent for using small details to reveal large truths.

their chemistry is still in its EARLY stages, but i love how clear their compatibility is. Even if i’d never seen them on the page together I would see how they could complement each OTHER.

I read the first few chapters and it’s my favorite read of the year…(agents) pick this up so i can find out if they kiss pleasE!!

The tension (of the plot) is insane. your scenes are very layered. it feels like poor gemna can’t catch a break.

I am obsessed with this magic system & the subtle themes of tech vs. humanity.
