Introducing the #agentsguide for my #amquerying CLONE WARS x SOME DESPERATE GLORY project where a teenage knight's apprentice sets out to avenge her sister's murder, and might trigger an interplanetary war in the process...🚀🩸⚔️

An Agent's Guide to Odyssey's Wake, YA sci-fi by Amara Cavahlo. Image of sword against glowing symbol

Pitch: When her squadmate is murdered, 13yo Ahrin Latala will risk anything for revenge, even her chance at knighthood. But this murder is the key to a tangle of secrets spanning star systems and centuries: ‘anything’ is a much higher price than she could ever imagine.

Comps: Iron Widow, Gearbreakers, Stars Wars: The Clone Wars, and Some Desperate Glory

Character quote: "I never understood her, why she'd ever want more than what the Order had to give us. Not until I watched her die."

GEARBREAKERS x SOME DESPERATE GLORY

When Ahrin's squadmate is murdered, she decides she won't just become a knight, but also hunt those who dared take her family away from her; chase them across the stars if she has to.

She will be her squadmate's revenge.

Ah yes I see what you mean! 😅

Not sure if this is rhetorical but if it isn't, you can permanently mute all the channels (and I do mean channels within groups, not entire groups) you're not interested in! That's what I do

Yay!! 😎 Thank you

Amara Cavahlo @amaracavahlo.bsky.social · 12d

I'm glad someone does because Ahrin most decidedly does not 😂😂💖

Amara Cavahlo @amaracavahlo.bsky.social · 12d

Wow this sounds really cool!! 👀

When I first caught glimpse of it I thought "this was literally written for me" and as someone who has previously written very radicalised characters in cults even before this book I was CORRECT. Good lord I'm obsessed with that book. Have read it twice and convinced all my friends to read too!!

We support women's rights and women's wrongs on this account 👏🏻

Amara Cavahlo @amaracavahlo.bsky.social · 12d

No exaggeration either 👀

Amara Cavahlo @amaracavahlo.bsky.social · 12d

Thank you! 💖

Amara Cavahlo @amaracavahlo.bsky.social · 12d

The baddies aren't escaping THIS kid 👀

Amara Cavahlo @amaracavahlo.bsky.social · 12d

Thank you lovely! 💖 It would be an ego boost at the very least, that's for sure!

Amara Cavahlo @amaracavahlo.bsky.social · 12d

And thank you so much!! (Got so distracted by Some Desperate Glory love that I forgot to say that LMAO)

Amara Cavahlo @amaracavahlo.bsky.social · 12d

Some Desperate Glory is my absolute BELOVED. I love that book to pieces. Always happy to find another fan!! 😍
