A graphic made to look like a movie poster. In the background is a Christmassy type village covered in snow and decorated with lights. On one side is a picture of a dark haired man not facing the viewer. On the other side is a dark haired girl, with her eyes looking up and sort of daydreaming. The text of the picture read: YA Author Bethany Averie presents SUGAR & FROST a YA Fantasy Romance, currently querying. At the bottom of the poster, the text reads: When Kallie collides into Chase, it's decidedly not love-at-first-sight, but as they grow closer feelings change; however, with a feud, family drama, and a deluded rival, banishment seems more likely than a happily-ever-after.

A row boat on the water with a giant eye beneath it. Bottom row: a giant whirlpool with teeth. Two hands gripping the ground with the ocean off in the distance. A giant shadowy creature towering over a person in the ocean waves.

Cryptic diary and trauma bonding fest
Traking place in 1919 fest

The gardener is dead
The House is alive
Her family is cursed
Lottie Bradbury is

The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor movie poster featuring a young woman in a blue dress looking terrified as she falls down a well (or was she pushed?). 

It has the tagline "You don't inherit a curse. You earn it"

Baron Thomas Bradbury is "The Lying Father"
and introducing Arthur as "The Forbidden Love"

Break lines split off from it making an x that divided the poster into four sections  on the top is a sillouette of a boy kneeling in prayer, next a sillouette of a girl holding a bow, next a silhouette of a boy reading with a dagger next to him, then a silhouette of a girl swinging a sword. At the bottom in white text: β€œ4 lands. 4 heroes. One crystal. Can they learn to work together before it’s too late?”
