A CURSE CONJURED: An Agent's Guide

The 12 Dancing Princesses fairytale gets a Tamora Pierce-style retelling in this adult fantasy, featuring a badass lady knight, a secret sorceress, a servant with a secret identity, and a gender-fluid Fae King.

#questpit #A #F #W #RF
A Curse Conjured by Molly Haniszewski: An Agent's Guide Comps for a Curse Conjured: Where Shadows Bloom, House of Salt Sorrows, Wildwood Dancing, Alanna, Six Crimson Cranes, The Priory of the Orange Tree, An Enchantment of Ravens, Anathema A moodboard titled "The Vibes;" features a lady knight with red hair, a castle in the mist, a woman in a ball gown running away, two women about to kiss, a crowned head, a tower sunk in water, and a hand spilling dark shadows. The Pitch: Elena, eldest of the 12 and heir to her father's throne, proves herself worthy to inherit the kingdom with her prowess as a knight, leading the king’s armies against their sorcery-wielding enemies. But when she and her sisters are struck with a curse binding them to a magical ball thrown by the Fae ruler, she finds herself torn between serving her country and falling for the enigmatic, gender-fluid Fae King. To make things even more difficult, her father assigns her a new attendant, Benazhyr, whom she’s almost certain is a spy, but she finds she cannot bring herself to send her away. Morrigan, the oft-overlooked middle sister, yearns for a way to help her country. She and Elena have always butted heads, so when Elena forbids her from helping with the war effort, Morrigan resolves to use her secret talents for sorcery to help. But Morrigan is betrayed by her mentor and tricked into signing a cursed contract with the Fae, dooming them to spend their nights dancing, exhausting themselves and distracting their father’s focus from the war. Will Morrigan find a way to undo her mistake, or will her sisters turn their backs on her for good?

THE SOUL THIEF: An Agent's Guide

A master thief plans to steal a priceless gem, but a demon-possessed man beats her to her own job. Charged with recovering the gem, she must decide which to save--her own career, or the broken man who keeps slipping out of reach.

#questpit #Q #A #F #RF #PR
The Soul Thief by Molly Haniszewski: An Agent's Guide Comps for the Soul Thief: Book of Night, Ninth House, When Among Crows, One Dark Window, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Graveyard Shift A moodboard titled "The Vibes," features Demon folklore, enemies to lovers, dark academia, magical gems, feral orc baby, a master thief, demon-possessed love interest Pitch: Marlee is a great thief, and nobody knows it. For years, she has flown completely under the radar, stealing gems and valuable books on demons for clients who have no idea just how talented she is. But one night, she is beaten to her own job by a shade-possessed (and insanely good-looking) singer, who steals the single most valuable gem in the world—the gem that would guarantee Marlee’s career for the rest of her life. The singer disappears, and Marlee is targeted by those wishing to recover the gem. To save her skin, she must track down the singer and take the gem back. Zebediah was thrown to the demons when he was ten years old. Over a decade later, he lives at the whim of a tyrannical shade, who uses his body to carry out devious acts. Since then, Zeb lives a shadow of a life, forgotten by everyone he’d ever known and unable to leave a mark upon the world. He gave up hope of being saved from his fate long ago—until a quiet, curvy waitress named Marlee unexpectedly slashes the shade for disrupting her burglary. Could she help Zeb break free from his tortuous half-life as a thrall?

But when she finally works up the courage to confess to the perfect guy, he’s too oblivious to look beyond their friendship. Desperate to turn his head, Maggie hatches a plan: snag a fake date to his hockey team’s skate party and make him jealous, as long as she can survive her clumsy self on the ice. Enter Nathan Myers—the team grump. Once he agrees to be her stand-in, everything seems simple enough: he’ll teach her how to skate, and she’ll put up with his attitude. Only the more time they spend together, the more Maggie discovers a gentle teddy bear hidden beneath Nathan’s gruff exterior. For the first time, she wonders if it’s okay to let go of certain expectations—being herself might actually be enough. But Nathan’s a wild card with no college plans. He doesn’t fit in the future Maggie’s mom has mapped out for her. Trapped between the family expectations and her growing feelings, she must decide whether breaking the rules is worth it with the boy who’s becoming more than just a fake date. #tropes and elements #FakeDating #GrumpySunshine #YAHockeyRomance #HeFallsFirst #ComingOfAge #FamilyDynamic #SiblingDynamic #FriendshipBreakUp #POCOwnVoice #OppositeAttracts

Next books with magic light emoting from them and a hand pointing to the sky surrounded by magical glitter with pink light speckles. There is someone looking through a circular window at earth and the moon as of from a space ship. Most of the color scheme is bright pink and futuristic with planets in some and planetariums in others giving the feeling of a utopian magical futuristic world.

A Guide to Night Bird An adult romantic fantasy novel The Pitch Ava can become invisible and walk through walls but can’t escape her warded cage. Destined to follow in her dead mother’s footsteps as a courtesan and spy, she’s trained to get close to—and betray—those in the highest levels of society. But alone at night in her room, she listens to the steam engine’s whistle, plays her cello to the night birds, and dreams of escaping her prison. Until one stormy evening, a boy, Zev, breaks through her window and gives her a taste of life beyond the bars. Their chance meeting spawns two years of secret friendship until her eighteenth birthday, when her seduction training will begin. Instead, she wakes up to a grisly scene—a bloody trail, dead guardians, and broken wards. Given what she knows of Zev’s powerful abilities, she assumes her freedom came at his hand. She waits for his return, which never comes. Eight years later, Ava has reinvented herself as Night Bird, a vigilante for wronged women. She’s assisted by a group of former street kids who’ve matured into a misfit gang. A botched mission finds them in the crosshairs of a shadowy man known as a high-powered fixer. That man turns out to be the boy who’d disappeared years earlier. It’s unclear if he’s friend or foe. However, when she takes on her biggest target—the last man to see her mother alive—Zev may be the only person keeping her from going up in flames. For Fans of: Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa—dual timeline & lost love The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner—female rage & poison Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo—found family & misfit crew Chapter One Only the night birds provided company in my caged existence. They sang for me after the sun dipped, gliding beyond my window’s metal bars as their trilling tunes wove through the moon’s light. They were my link to the outside world, a fragile tether to life beyond my warded room. My self-given name—Ava—was an homage to them, the beautiful creatures that kept me sane. During the day, when I was granted time away from lessons, the noise and bustle of the street scared them beneath the eaves, into the holes and crannies of buildings. I’d sit, fists clenched, ears straining for their hopeful notes. But I was alone. The lectas didn’t count. They were caretakers, not company. When streetlamps glowed in the satiny darkness, the night birds’ warbles piercing the quiet, I’d pull out my cello. My bow swept the strings like a feathered wing, and the resonant chords danced with the birdsong. They’d swoop and dive, triumphant in their freedom—something I’d never known and never would.

an illustration of two boys, pictured from the shoulders up. One is blonde with an annoyed expression, the other is dark haired and grinning, making a peace sign with one hand and poking the blonde's cheek with the other. below, superimposed over a smartphone, are the words THE VILLAIN EDIT (attorneytrash) At twenty-six, Max Reilly is already ex a lot of things. Ex-star of Affinity, the TV drama he led for three seasons. Ex-fiancé of Holly Aveline, his costar, who hasn’t spoken to him since the scandal that tanked his career. And ex-darling of the show’s fan base, who went from love letters to death threats faster than the speed of cable. Most of all, Max is exhausted. The last thing he wants is to be back in the public eye. But when offered a deal to get out of his contract for good, it’s hard to resist—even if the catch is a pre-season publicity tour with Affinity’s current cast. Even if that means weeks on the road with not only his former castmates, but also the show’s newest cast member: Nico Mariani, a scandal-happy reality TV transplant known for exclusively playing villains. It’s only a few weeks. A few weeks facing crowds of people who actively hate him, of being hounded by gossip columnists, of being trapped on-and-offstage with Nico, who Max can’t shake to save his life. Because as it turns out, Nico has his own deal with the producers—and soon angry fans and nosy reporters will be the least of Max’s problems. EXCERPT: Nico’s first thought on seeing Max Reilly in the flesh had been, damn, this dude’s tall. He wasn’t sure what he’d expected. Rory Harper, maybe, that archetypal boy-next-door who’d bit the dust at the end of Affinity season three. There was this one publicity still of him—white t-shirt, jeans, flannel tied around the waist, artistically placed smudges of grease—that was pinned to the vision boards of church-and-chevy girls nationwide. Oh my god, so dreamy, fuck me in a hayloft, etc. Max Reilly was a very different creature. Nico had him cataloged in one go. Indoorsy, sleepy eyes, hair unfortunately cut with the roots grown in. Skittish. Bad posture. Cargo pants (seriously). He didn’t dress like America’s Boyfriend, or anyone’s boyfriend, honestly, if we were being totally honest here, if we were being candid. He was, to put it nicely, nothing to write in your diary about. Tall, though, damn. And those freckles. But that was the devil talking.
