Opening lines:
It was the beginning of storm season, and Tremmel City was glossy and slick as a bloodied fist.
Arin didn’t mind. The wet paths up the caldera wall were dicey, but at least the rain muted the stench of trash and mule excrement. She pulled her jacket closed, the same black leather jacket she always wore. A relic of the past she couldn’t part with that swallowed her whole. She crossed her arms over her chest and climbed up the stone steps.
PENTA OR BUST
BLESS THE BRICKERS
CURB THE COGS
The graffiti was so repetitive it had long ago taken a melody in Arin’s head. She used to argue internally with each one: Don’t put your faith in the Pentathlon—only a fool would trust those odds. Don’t glorify the brickers—they only saved us once. Don’t demonize the cogs—some of us exercise self-control. But eventually the arguments petered out until all that was left was a bleak refrain.

Featuring:
Native Hawaiian Rep
Cultural Identity
Setting as a Character
The second slide showcases the pitch:
WHISPERS OF THE SEA follows the story of a teenage girl who embarks on a journey to rescue her uncle after he was mysteriously captured by a group of uniformed men sailing under the royal flags of a faraway kingdom.
Keahi must voyage across the seas to this distant isle where she’ll team up with a boy to track her uncle’s whereabouts. But in order to understand the dangers that lurk ahead, she’ll be forced to uncover a lifetime worth of secrets—and she must do so before it’s too late.
The third slide indicates that WHISPERS OF THE SEA might appeal to fans of: Disney’s Moana, Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, and Curious Tides by Pascale Lacelle.
The book includes the following tropes/themes: found family, self-discovery within cultural identity, Hawaiian-inspired mythology, and adventure.
The final slide includes a snippet from the book that reads:
“Keahi’s legs were immobilized as her body tried to make the decision her mind could not. The feeling was strange for she had dreamt countless of times about leaving the island, only to seize the opportunity and awaken to find that she had been sold a nightmare instead.”

Title: Pitch
Text: Niozene has never been good enough.
As daughter and crown heir to the Mother, a living goddess and ruler of her country, perfection is the only standard she’s ever known. Yet, despite her flawless scholar’s education and a polished career as a ranger, Niozene has failed to convince the Mother to look past her greatest flaw—she lacks the holy power to control the minds of others that ordains her family as living gods with divine right to rule.
When a shape-changing assassin nearly kills the Mother on Niozene’s watch, she is stripped of her titles and given an ultimatum: return with the assassin’s head, or face excommunication from both her homeland and the afterlife. Desperate, she accepts the task as a final chance to prove herself and show the Mother she deserves a place as her daughter.
Allowed only the help of Sonsan, a surly tracker and criminal also facing excommunication, Niozene dreads that she may have lost her chance at redemption before she has even left home. But when Sonsan reveals that he shares the same strange shape-changing power as the assassin, Niozene realizes his assignment to accompany her is more than coincidence. As they track the assassin deep into a forbidden land, confronting demons, ancient magic, and the ghosts that haunt their dreams and blood, they must uncover the truth behind their quest—and the buried history neither knew they shared—if they wish to live to see their promised redemption.

n a school full of witches, Blake is the only one with no magic at all. She can assist but not participate. Observe but not engage. That is, until the Grandwitch arrives at the academy with a powerful necklace in tow. If Blake wants to escape her nameless fate and make her mark on the world, stealing it may be her only option.
Tropes and Comps:
Dark academia
magical academy
sapphic enemies to lobers

lost gods
As she pushes swathes of long black hair behind her ears
and rolls up the sleeves of her turtleneck to the elbows,
I wait for her charcoal eyes to finally latch onto me, like a crocodile spying its next meal across the surface of the water.
But they never do.
She ignores me entirely, fixing her gaze instead on the skull between my hands. I can’t extinguish the flame of indignation inside me. In a more forgiving world, we would be equals. Rivals. But as things stand, I’m no more to her than the pile of dust on Eram’s desk.

My #agentsguide for BLOOD BOUND! an adult Romance Fantasy ft:
Pitch: Ayanna is a spirit walker - a person who can see and communicate with those who have passed on - just like her ancestors before her. And if she's not careful, she'll be killed like they were, too.
When a creature from the dark tales of her ancestors mortally wounds her sister, Ayanna would do anything to save her.
Even if that means entering in a desperate bargain with the spirits to bring them what they seek.
Snippet: The foul stench always gave a jumbie away.
It towered behind the man that sat in front of me, its bloated, yellowing body reminiscent of a corpse left in the sun for too long.
Thick brown liquid oozed from its teeth, arranged in circular rows. The fat droplets lazily dripped onto the wooden floor.

“You look good.” His legs brushed against mine as he sat on the ottoman across from me.
I clutched the stem of my wine glass. “What do you mean?”
“I mean you look good.” His eyes moved from my legs to my chest, back up to my eyes. He bit his lower lip, trying to suppress his bedroom eyes.
“You as well,” I said.
Jade interrupted us to talk about wedding cake flavors.
By dinner, we were out of cocktail ingredients. Wine bottles were starting to empty. We had a big Christmas ham, a turkey and vegetarian sides for Jade’s wedding diet, Auntie Jenny’s latkes included. Jade got drunk long before we sat down and ended up eating the meat.
After tragedy and family drama broke them up, Jasper and Brett moved on with their lives. Ten years later, they reunite for a wedding in the place they fell in love and fell apart. Has their dormant love story reawakened or are they just yearning for nostalgia?

Top row, left-to-right: a Byronic handsome man in black, a palace, a dark figure burning in hell fire, a masked female assassin of dark complexion holding a dagger, a serpentine forest trail at night marked with red flowers.
At the center, next to a silver plume, is the text: “This world, my dear, is the slaughterhouse of noble ideals.”
Bottom row, left-to-right: a dark gaslit street, a gaslit city blanketed in coal smog at night, a young woman in a Victorian gown, wrought-iron gates opened to a foreboding foggy estate in the dark, a trail of red petals leading to a dark stone temple gate.
Excerpt:
A gaunt mouse nibbled greedily at a stale bread roll left on my lunch tray. I didn’t have the heart to give her a name as I might lose her too.
The lingering scent of mud and mildew hung in the air, a long-forgotten tomb. I clenched my jaw to keep my teeth from chattering. The bed’s cast iron rods dug into my ribs through the thin mattress. The medications I was forced to swallow left a cotton taste in my mouth and a dull ache in my skull. The faded floral pattern of the peeling wallpaper was my only reminder of life beyond these walls.
I pulled the threadbare blanket tighter around my body, hugging my knees to my chest. It did little against the chill creeping into my bones. The raging blizzard had transformed the courtyard into a churning white sea, rattling the broken window shutters hanging askew. At least no screams echoed through the halls today.

His coat smelled of Hermès Caleche, a heady reminder of his last embrace with Friede. She was the reason he'd come to this forgotten place tonight, but he couldn't be distracted by her. Taking his eye off the ball would get him killed.
Edmund Fletcher's attention snapped into focus as he forced his lover from his mind. He padded through the disused sewer, catching the occasional whiff of human effluent still lingering in the brickwork, his penlight illuminating a narrow arched tunnel stretching ahead into darkness. Water trickled down the walls to form black, glistening pools on the floor and he shivered, quickening his pace. It was always cold so far below ground, heavy snow in the streets above had lowered the temperature further.
He'd used this labyrinthine system often enough to know the layout by heart. He was directly below the Berlin wall now, Soviet territory lay only thirty feet ahead. While he held East German security services in the highest esteem, after four years in the smuggling business he knew how to stay ahead of them.

A page from an old book showing a skull drawing and the word MORTEM, a well-dressed couple in shadow staring at you with glowing eyes, two skyscrapers looming overhead in the fog, several pistols lying in a cushioned case, a black hole, two doctors performing surgery, a man with his back turned and a woman's hand cradling his head, a cork board of documents and string, six figures cloaked in black and gathered in a semi-circle.
