A twist on Roman Holiday with a touch of Midsommar set in a reimagined Babylon.

🧞‍♀️ Goddess trapped in a human body

🐠 Fish out of water story
🤺 Sisters getting revenge on each other
🍷 Creepy, mysterious cult
🏺 Ancient Babylon vibes

A collage of figs, a mule on a dirt road, a goddess in a river, and sand, with the text "AGENT'S GUIDE, THE UNMAKING OF A MUSE, 109,000 words, Adult Romantasy"

A background of sand with an illustration of a mesopotamian goddess and a lion, with the text: "THE UNMAKING OF A MUSE, Roman Holiday x Midsommar in ancient Babylon. Lali, a spoiled muse, persuades an innocent butcher to help her take down a human cult that's blocking her muse magic and brainwashing her sister into giving up eternal life — but when Lali starts falling for the earth-born butcher, it’s the first sign she's been brainwashed."

Sand as a background with mesopotamian illustrations and text that says: "FIRST LINES, It’s tedious work, trying to inspire genius in mortals. It always has been. Even decades ago, long before this recent sun cycle, when they began to resist the muses’ influence."

A background of sand, with images of books overlayed - Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan, Circe by Madeline Miller, Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor, and A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher, with the text "Comp Titles" above them and cuneiform letters below.

AITA: After I (immortal, F, muse recently trapped in a human body) got caught sneaking food from the mortal market without paying, I manipulated someone (25, M, butcher by day, bard by night) to take the fall for my so-called theft.

They cut off his hand, and now he’s mad at me?!?!?

ROMAN HOLIDAY x MIDSOMMAR x ZENDAYA/TOM

Hunting her brainwashed, mortal-obsessed sister through the human world, a feral-girl goddess finds herself falling for a cinnamon-roll mortal. Or is that the 1st sign she's being brainwashed too?

Romantasy inspired by Mesopotamian mythology

A collage featuring an ancient lyre player, an arch with decorative designs, a woman dancing under a colonnade, tiled lions on a wall, an illustration of a river bank with palm trees, an ancient Egyptian depiction of three people underneath hieroglyphs, and an illustration of Semiramis, a queen of Assyria, in front of a winged Mesopotamian creature. Overlayed are images of gold coins, a wheel, a palm frond, an Assyrian winged figure, and a strip of cuneiform writing.

Lali, an arrogant but lonely goddess, *should* be happy sipping date wine & meddling with mortals forever. But eternity feels empty without her estranged, earth-bound sister, long ago brainwashed by mortals. Braving the human world to hunt her sister, Lali must avoid being brainwashed too.

NETTLE & BONE x STAR DAUGHTER

💰 Cheating a suitor out of his money to help her family was easy.

🌌 Falling in love with the night sky trapped in a mortal body is harder.

💔 And helping them return to the sky at the expense of her heart might just be impossible.

THE EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE (if Kuzco & Pacha fell in love) x Mesopotamian myth

A conceited goddess, who uses mortals as playthings, gets stuck in human form.

A kind-hearted bard helps her navigate earth & its savage customs, like wearing clothes & saying “please.”

No touchy ➡️ lots of touchy
