ONE PIECE IN SPACE A runaway with illegal powers must join a crew of space pirates to save the man whose magic might change the world, or destroy it. But she has three problems with that: she finds him intoxicating, his partner’s infuriating, and she hates pirates. #questpit #Q #A #F #RF #SFF

A card with a starry background with the title Pirates and Planets. The subtitle says Opening Lines. Below is a paragraph. It says:
The hatch was open.
In trembling hands, magic split the first delicate crack in Arnawan’s centuries-long isolation. The first true wormhole bloomed into existence.
Tuvat had dreamed of this beautiful rainbow bridge all their life. Now, staring down the barrel of change, it looked like the open jaws of a half-finished hope.

A card that says Pirates and Planets - Comps across the top. Below, there are two columns with covers of books. The first says By Me. Listed left to right, the comps listed are The Murderbot Diaries, One Piece; Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die; The Dispossessed, The Adventure Zone Balance (a podcast, not a book), and Six of Crows.
The second column says By Readers. From left to right, they are Arcane (the Netflix animated show), These Burning Stars, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and Gideon the Ninth.

Two historians compete to be the first to publish a breakthrough discovery about civilizational collapse. The twist? One is studying the life of the other, hundreds of years in the future. And the civilization that collapsed? It’s ours. #questpit #W #A #S

3 stories, separated across time and space. Ancient Rome. Modern academia. Future studies of what remains from Ancient Earth.

What if medicine was illegal and you learned you had the power to heal? HEIRS OF BALANCE ANDOR x NAUSICAÄ 🌱Post-apocalypse hopepunk 🤐 Family secrets 🧬 Science-based magic ❤️‍🔥 Slow-burn romance 🥹 Found family REP: 🧠 ND 🤎 BIPOC and 🌈 LGBTQ+ characters #QuestPit #Q #SFF #RF #WritingCommunity

Heirs of Balance by Lesley Parry - Adult Science Fantasy, 90,000 words. ANDOR meets NAUSICAÄ where healing is heresy and compassion sparks rebellion. @lesleyparrybooks #Q #SFF #RF

What if medicine was illegal...and you had the power to heal? Includes images of a group of houses in a meadow, surrounded by forest and wind turbines, a mortar and pestle with ground herbs, a pair of glowing hands, and an eco-futuristic castle with glass dome towers.

In a post-collapse world where medicine is illegal and even touching the sick is forbidden, Mira Elders risks her life every time she secretly treats the ill with contraband herbs. But when she lays hands on a dying boy in public and magically heals him, secrecy is no longer possible. Her gift should be a miracle. Instead, it marks her for execution.

To survive, Mira flees her village and enlists in the very regime that hunts people like her. As the Median regime tightens its grip through a project that harvests health from prisoners to extend the lives of the elite, a new crackdown on healers looms. But when Mira learns that medicine played a role in causing the Collapse, even rebellion stops looking simple. To join the fight, she will have to wield the very power her world was built to fear—and risk proving the regime right.

If you liked THE SURVIVING SKY by Kritika H. Rao (eco-magic + rebellion), THE GRACE YEAR by Kim Liggett (oppression + survival stakes), SOME DESPERATE GLORY by Emily Tesh (authoritarian control + messy awakening)
