Blurb: One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boyโฆ Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day sheโs a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdomโs last living assassin, Seven, and heโs just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the Kingโs upcoming courtship gathering. Itโs a partnership sheโd definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes. Five for Silver, Six for Goldโฆ Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they wonโt be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, itโs survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them. Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told. The text is on a piece of parchment paper, with ocean water and gold flower outlines behind it.
Tropes: Thief x Assassin Mental Health Rep Identity vs Duty Class Difference Forced Proximity Secret Code Morally Gray Womenโs Wrongs Unlikely Allies to Lovers Text is on a piece of parchment paper. Besides the text are two headshot drawings: one of a girl with brown hair pulled back by braids, and the other of a black-haired boy with a worried expression.

Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand.

Reasons to love To Ruin the Sky
ELECTRIC SEXUAL TENSION. Excerpt reads: There's a possessiveness in how he touches me and I wish I hated it. "How would you punish me?" I breathe out, unable to control my impulses. Fingers touch my zip as he slowly slips it down, millimetre by millimetre. My body is completely in his thrall, unable to decipher the beat of my heart from the thump of the speaker's bass. Cloudy background with one half of a lightning bolt
MORALLY-GREY IS THE COLOUR OF CHOICE... Two moodboards with information about the two main characters
INCLUDES TOP TIER TROPES... Four book comparisons: Crescent City, Kingdom of the Wicked, Book of Azrael, Quicksilver with tropes attached The other half of a lightning bolt with a cloudy background

A Memory of Moonkissed Malice Villain Era Protag Frenemies to Lovers Queendoms Found Family Fantasy Dark Academia Vampires Feminine Rage Corrupted Moon Magic
The Pitch 18-year-old Alyss Veylas wishes to attend Nocturne Collegiate for one reasonโrevenge. Five long years after her sister was murdered by the schoolโs guardian, she finally gets that chance. Armed with a Moon Fragment granting memory magic, and the aid of her ex and his new girlfriend, Alyss must confront the woman who took away the person she loved most.
Chapter One The rain made it easier to rob his grave. My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the nightโs whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us. Us. As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth.
For Fans Of... The lush, gothic prose of... A fantasy academia setting like... A murder mystery similar to...
The rain made it easier to rob his grave.
