THE WITCHER x SUPERNATURAL x D&D x CONSTANTINE An exiled human paladin + a chaotic half-elf rockstar take a road trip across a post-apocalyptic, 1980s-inspired hellscape to save their gods-abandoned world... and maybe each other... 🎸💖⚔️✨ SONGBOOK FOR THE APOCALYPSE #questpit #W #F #A #LGBT

Songbook for the Apocalypse is a dual-POV queer romantic fantasy novel coming to the query trenches in Fall 2026

The pitch for Songbook for the Apocalypse, it's The Witcher but post-apocalyptic and inspired by D&D and Supernatural... and it's gay and full of 80s power ballads
