Text: the comps. Nightshade by Autumn Woods, Netflix's Wednesday, Deathbringer by Sonia Tagliareni, and Silver Elite by Dani Francis Picture of a snake. Text: An excerpt. “What’s your name, ghost girl?” Carsten asks, his lips quirking up in a half-smile that feels like a challenge. I try to seem unbothered as he takes his time, walking back to the leather loveseat across from mine. He sits down slowly, soaking in my attention, but I can’t take my eyes off him. His arms stretch out lazily on the back of the chair, a prince of darkness surveying his domain. The room warms. So warm that sweat prickles the back of my neck. I glance at the clock over the fireplace again. Terror wraps around me like the snake dancing on his forearm. I need to get out of here. He cocks his head to the side, waiting, and I debate lying. There are no benefits to a demon knowing your name. Except my mind is blank. I can’t remember any goddess-blessed name except my own.

A drawing of a woman standing looking out against a red sky. She’s dressed in a white button up shirt, a brown vest, and a purple shawl. She’s holding up a pencil and a journal filled with scraps of paper. At her back stands a dark misty figure in a dark green cloak. Where their left eye would be there is a swirling galaxy instead.

FOR METTLE & MOSS is a gender-swapped A Knight’s Tale set on a sky island where tournaments are replaced with ruthless, Survivor-style trials. A cynical lady knight and an anxious lord must stop their world from falling… while resisting falling for each other. 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕 #questpit #A #RF #Q

For Mettle & Moss is a 108,000-word, dual-POV adult fantasy romance standalone. The background shows lightning striking across a dark sky and the tagline says “Caledin could fall from the sky. Fate* has chosen them to stop it. (*Fate has a terrible sense of humor)”The pitch: An anxious lord and a cynical knight have three moons to succeed in a series of trials to keep their utopian sky island home from falling—and to keep from falling for each other. Another tagline: If they fail, they fall. The background shows a marble bust of a woman against a black backdrop. Comps include: The Everlasting and The Knight and the Moth (for lady knights), The Games Gods Play (for chaotic gods), Survivor and Shar’s Gauntlet in BG3 (for unique trials), The Comedy of Errors and A Knight’s Tale (for vibes), and sounds like Sleep Token’s This Place Will Become Your Tomb album. Background is a knight in shining armor against a black backdrop. Tropes include forced proximity, he falls first, she falls harder, one bed, idiots to lovers, fate versus agency, reverse bodyguard (she is the strong one). A quote from the novel: “We’ve had to be twice as tough to be seen as half as good.” The background is a man’s hands, with ringed fingers, against a black backdrop.
