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

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.

For the upcoming #DVPit, here’s an #agentsguide for SATURNINE, my #A #F about a student who makes a deal with a necromancer to raise her professor from the dead🖤

🎓Dark Academia
⛪️Southern Gothic
🚜 Dropout, outsider MC
🐍Snake familiar
🫀Twisty romance
🌙Unique magic system

#amquerying #agentguide #R

A dark and moody background with a stone arched gate, tree branches, and Spanish moss. An emblem of two white snakes. The text:
SATURNINE
An adult dark academia fantasy
97,000 words

A dark background of a snake marble sculpture. The text over it:
Pitch
Harper Claire’s dreams of an academic career died with her trusted mentor. When the faculty dismisses the blatantly ritualistic scene as an accident, she drops out of Occult Mor University, vowing to prove it was murder.
Her best chance is Rich, a washed-up grifter claiming he can raise the dead for a single day—except his rare magic has been sealed by a sigil carved into his flesh. Harper offers him a deal: if she lifts the sigil, he’ll bring her mentor back. But as they sneak across Mor’s waterlogged grounds and their attraction deepens, Harper fears the sigil holds back more than he admits. Some powers are too devastating to ever be unleashed, and Harper’s debt to her dead mentor might cost her a lot more than a broken heart.

Dark background of a vaulted classical ceiling. The title says: For fans of.
Four book covers: Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo with a note: Gritty, modern tone, morally messy heroine,
YEARNING.
An academy for liars by Alexis Henderson with a note: Institutional corruption.
Katabasis by R. F. Kuang with a note: Underworld descent.
Starling House by Alix E. Harrow with a note: Small-town, Southern Gothic atmosphere, bittersweet love
story

A collage of images: a silhouette of a woman with a short messy bob. A man with a muscular back. A statue of Cupid and Psyche. A road sign that says GATES TO HELL not a public road. A facade of a red brick, collegiate style building. A woman in short black skirt and lacy bustier lying on a bed with a notebook and headphones. The text layered over says:

Forced proximity
He falls first
Touch him and die
Working class, outsider MC One of a kind magic system
A snake familiar

Quotes from the book:

Disco slept in her bed sometimes, curled in the crook of her shoulder, snout tucked
against her neck. He prayed she would never learn the true purpose of the snake.

She just watched him, silently and intensely, in her signature deep dissatisfied , as if
she saw his heart, liver, and lungs, bleeding and throbbing, where she wanted him to be full of magic instead.
SATURN SAVE US
"Harper... the name of my pain,"
