Covenant of the Damned (119k rom. fantasy) in microtropes! When the Lord she’s sworn to protect is poisoned, a headstrong guard reluctantly allies with a loathsome king to find the Holy Grail before the Lord dies or the relic falls into the hands of evil sorcerers. #Q #RF #F #A #QuestPit

Cover slide to introduce the microtropes that you can expect to see in "Covenant of the Damned," a 119k romantic fantasy that is now querying. The background is an ethereal oil painting

the microtropes listed are: reluctant allies, only one horse, he's been thirty for the last 230 years, elemental-based magic systems, lady knights, she's the chosen one, and he tends to her wounds. There's an icon of a computer cursor hovering over a box that says "select all," to indicate that all microtropes are present in "Covenant of the Damned"

On this slide there is a painted hand holding a sword and a repetition of the pitch. The image also states that this book is perfect for fans of [Lady] Knights of the Round Table retellings and every Gilmore Girls stan who was rooting for Rory to end up with Jess Mariano.

THE OPENING of THE CELESTIAL RING BY H.K. SMITH

The promise of imminent death feels briefly distant as I cut through the canyon of glass and steel toward Her. I match Orion's pace, stride for stride. For tradition's sake, we've been walking since dawn but we're still five long blocks away from the nearest checkpoint. By the time the sun's white disc clears those towers, She'll have already cast Her judgment.

These best friends have a 60-year age difference 🤝 Nita fled from Florida to NYC in 1970, while Violet made the same journey over 50 years later. Both left conservative families to live freely as queer women. Can Violet break the cycle and help find Nita's long-lost love? #QuestPit #HR #U #WF #A

Photo of a weeping willow with a scrap of paper laid on top that says "Underneath the Willow Tree" in handwriting font and below in smaller serif font "An Upmarket Historical Sapphic Romance"

A photo of a brownstone with a scrap of paper on top, framed by a gold locket. The text reads "The Pitch" at the top in handwriting font and in a serif font below says " When Violet meets her new landlord, Nita, she realizes their journeys are eerily similar, even if they were 60 years apart.

Both women grew up in conservative families in rural Florida and left everything behind to find more freedom in their queer identities in NYC.

As the two form an unlikely friendship, Nita’s life story comes spilling out, revealing how she heart-wrenchingly left her first love behind to move. But Nita’s story may still be unfinished, her lost love may yet be found, and she and Violet may be more connected than either of them anticipated."

Below, in a serif font, the text reads: "🔒 Forbidden Romance ❤️‍🩹 Second Chance Love 🤝 Age Gap Friendships💡 Found Family 💔 Generational Trauma 🍃 Nature Symbolism"

There is a black and white photo of a train that is motion-blurred with a scrap of paper on top. The paper says "Set in" in a handwriting font and "🕰️ 1950-1960s Rural Florida & 1970s NY📍Present Day Rural Florida & NYC" in a serif font. There is also a red flower wax stamp on the bottom right.

❗Ró’s plan to restore her shattered reputation:❗ 1. Hunt down the charming water spirit, as per the town leader’s request 2. Harvest his heart 3. Do not eat his heart (the magic powers aren’t worth it!!) 4. And most importantly: do NOT fall for him, no matter what #YA #F #DF #Q #QuestPit

A dark space fantasy aesthetic mood board with a collage of photos. Vertically down, from the first column:
1. A violet, light-tinged hole framing a violet sky
2. A faint silhouette of a woman beneath colors like the northern lights
3. Two hands reaching towards one another
4. A sci-fi inspired, dark uniform with a high collar
5. A grand stairwell, perhaps a futuristic religious site, with a single silhouette looking up
6. Two romantic silhouettes against a starry night sky
7. A lone figure with a backpack, standing amongst a shroud of sand-colored fog
8. A hand covered in glitter
9. A silhouette standing in front of a blue-lit circular tunnel entrance
10. A black woman with glitter coating her shoulder, just the bottom half of her face is visible, lips tilted slightly up in a smile
11. A black woman screaming
12. A stream of light breaking through dark clouds
13. An eye turned to show only the whites
14. Figures in robes seemingly suspended in mid-air
15. A figure on a black, sleek futuristic looking motorcycle
