Most chosen ones fear their prophecies. Princess Velaya treats hers like a homework assignment: find the loopholes, cure the incurable, and escape the throne. Unfortunately, her research points to a terrible possibility: magic is killing the world.

🌊 Introducing HIDDEN MONSTERS!

Adult psychological thriller for fans of claustrophobic survival, deadly games, and stories where nobody is quite who they seem.

#agentguide #amquerying #QuestPit #Q #T #RF #A
Title page of HIDDNEN MONSTERS, a 87k psychological thriller novel The comps for HIDDEN MONSTERS are the USS Callister episode of Black MIrror, Michael Crichton's Sphere, and the TV show Westworld. The pitch of HIDDEN MONSTERS is as follows: Lily has spent most of her twenties scraping by as a stage actor, desperate to prove that abandoning university for theatre wasn't a mistake. So when an enigmatic billionaire offers her a dream acting job aboard his private submarine, she leaps at the chance. On board, Lily and the crew recreate a live-action adventure as an elaborate birthday gift for the billionaire’s twenty-three-year-old grandson, Sawyer. The mission is based on a story the boy’s late mother once wrote for him. Sawyer plays the rogue hero leading a hunt for a villain who collects rare animals, and Lily is cast as his love interest where she is expected to admire his courage, validate his choices, and keep him believing he is the hero of the story. Then one of the staged confrontations turns violent, and Lily can’t tell whether the death she witnesses is real or simply part of the performance. As paranoia spreads through the submarine and Sawyer grows increasingly erratic, the only crew member willing to challenge him is forced into the submarine’s last emergency pod. Suddenly, Lily is the only person left who can stop the mission from spiraling out of control. But escaping may be impossible. Sawyer refuses to end the adventure, and Lily must continue playing her scripted role to keep his trust while quietly searching for a way off the submarine. The deeper she investigates the expedition, the more she suspects that the mission was never meant to be a harmless game. Photo collage showing jellyfish, boat chases, a theater, and a submarine.

It’s been too long since the Massacre Mansion last tasted blood, but with Hollywood determined to capitalize on the Mansion’s sordid past through a new reality TV game show & Lissa’s personal quest for vengeance, the Mansion is about to have the buffet of a lifetime.

#GhostPit #A #H #Q #agentguide
A dark and vine covered mansion with the title MASSACRE MANSION in the center. Book comps: The handyman method by Nick Cutter and Andrew F Sullivan, hide by Kiersten White, Patricia wants to cuddle by Samantha Allen, and episode 13 by Craig DiLouie. Tropes found in my book: haunted mansion, don’t split up, 2000s reality TV, rural Pennsylvania, let the bodies hit the floor, morally gray all day, eat the rich, Eldritch terror. First line: profiting from the deaths of real people should be illegal.

CIRCUS OF GODS.

In this NA dark Fantasy, a reluctant relic keeper must fight to survive the horror circus in a series of trials to save her sister and herself from the wrath of a cursed demigod shackled with a bloodthirsty dragon.
The Circus of Gods. romantic fantasy Pitch: When the rakshasas abduct her sister, Agni, a cowardly relic keeper, has only one choice: to enter the horror circus of a cursed Demigod notorious for feasting on the loser's hearts. Forced to compete against highly trained opponents in a series of deadly games, she must somehow win to earn a wish from an enraged Demigod to save her sister and herself. Because in Andhera, losing doesn't just mean losing the game. It means losing her heart—quite literally. Comp titles: Carabal, Trial of the Sun Queen, Phantasma, The Serpent and the wings of night The demigod of Destruction is a legend amongst the mortals of Navarājyani. We have grown up on the tales of his greed, vengeance and anger that led to his fall from Svarga. For mortals, he's both a horror and wonder. Some whisper his name in reverence, some others say it in utter disgust. And me, I lost my virginity because of him, because I was told he ate only virgin hearts. That is still my biggest regret in life. But whatever he was, whatever he is, he’s the most powerful creature that still walks the forsaken lands where magic no longer bows to mortals. And so they fight for what little the Demigod can offer them, for a greater price. When the stars bleed, when the day he falls to earth draws near, his horror circus will come out of the cloak of magic, appearing in one of the nine cities of the mortal kingdom. Colorful. Chaotic. Magnificent. Devastation in a million colors. And play, the mortals, the game of greed, sin and suffering for one wish. One wish that will change their lives forever. The payment for the entry… their heart, if they lose.

Yes, no, of course, did you think–? Did you read my missives?” “I was a bit preoccupied.” “Right, yes, but Roan!” His hands braced her shoulders and gave her a little shake. “We got funding!” She pinched the bridge of her nose. “You called me 16 times to tell me that? We made a moderate budget ask on purpose to make sure we’d get enough.” He stepped back, shaking his head. “You don’t understand. You have to wrap up the tour as soon as you can, Kwan is trying to stall for as long as possible but there’s an urgent meeting – the Unity wants to make it public – Roan, they’re funding us to go to Earth.”

Introducing SEAMFALLEN, a YA Fantasy crossover. Princess Mononoke meets Joan of Arc in a kingdom infested with spirits that steal human features. A courtesan claims divine intervention and trades her corset for a crossbow.
#agentguide #writesky #amquerying
Seamfallen The Pitch: Seventeen-year-old Maev refuses to die a courtesan. After killing a soul-stealing spirit, she lies that a goddess guided her and earns a place in the all-male spirit corps. But when Maev discovers the spirits can be healed, she must decide whether to protect the kingdom that never protected her —or expose both its lies and her own and risk the freedom she’s fought for. Themes & tropes: girl infiltrates an all-male institution, spirits that steal human features, freedom vs. being caged, morally-grey rebellion, lies her way to power, magical artifacts Comps & inspirations: Princess Mononoke (intricate world-building & unique spirits), The Scorpion and the Night Blossom (magical artifacts& enemies-to-allies), Joan of Arc but she's a fraud.
