Aleyna refuses to kneel, to family, tribe, or the rival Light and Dark powers that keep colonized worlds dependent on relics and protection. But when her Bright Soul burns red, the power that could keep her free makes her the prize both sides need to control.

Aleyna chose life outside family and tribe. To stay free, she crosses the Rift for a relic. There, her soul burns red, and everyone knows what she is except her: a Bright Soul, a living key to the Heart. Before their traps close, she must learn how to use the power they want to control.

POWERFUL STUDENTS. Adult dark academia fantasy. Elite supernatural families who want to protect or use her, a student from a bloodline believed extinct with two hidden powers. (Ps: title probably will change.)
Also edits on Book 2 of WHERE THE SOUL BURNS RED are almost finished.

Aleyna: “I just want one relic and my freedom.”
Realm: “Best I can do is political captivity, war, blood pacts, and complicated men.”

Aleyna wants to rely on no one. Wounded by family and wary of authority, she crosses the Rift as a last resort for a relic. Then her soul burns red, drawing Dark and Light leaders to her. Rather than trust them, she chooses to live among them, learn what they want,and protect herself. #DVParty #A #F

How would you position a political epic fantasy with a strong romantic thread when romance isn’t the main plot? Is “adult epic fantasy” enough, or should the romantic element be highlighted more clearly in the query?

For a debut author, how much of a concern is it if Book 1 is the start of a larger planned series? If the first book completes its main arc, is saying “planned series” still seen as a risk?

Does first-person present tense create a market concern for adult epic fantasy, especially with large-scale worldbuilding, or is that mostly judged on execution?

If a novel was fully written by the author in another language, but AI was used only as a translation/revision aid into English, do agents treat that differently from AI-generated writing? Is disclosure expected, and can it still be an automatic rejection?

For a debut adult epic fantasy, is 125–130k generally acceptable, or would agents prefer authors to split a structurally complete manuscript mainly because of word count?

Is adult epic fantasy currently a difficult market for agents/editors, or is there interest in it? Do you expect that to change in the near future?

Adult political epic fantasy with a strong romantic thread, morally complicated alliances, a generations-long fight for power. In a colonized world ruled through relics, Aleyna's Bright Soul burns red, threatening the Realm's balance of power. She seeks freedom; they seek to shift it. #preDV #A #F
