Title page: PENELOPE GRAY'S GUIDE TO SURVIVING LOVE AND THE UNDERWORLD.Pitch: When a teen girl is swept to an underworld ruled by her long-absent father, she must navigate strange magic, a demon friend, and a rival trying to steal her title (and possibly her heart).Comps: covers of Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot, The Faraway Inn by Sarah Beth Durst, and Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe by CB Lee.Excerpt: If you’re reading this, then the secrecy spell Baz gave me was total malarky. (That’s my Grandma Ruth’s favorite word. And no, she absolutely does NOT know about this Underworld stuff.) Baz, if this IS you: You are so dead. I don’t care that demons can’t die. I WILL find a way. For any mortals reading this: STOP! Trust me, you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into. Do you really want your entire understanding of reality to be turned upside down? Because that’s exactly what happened to me this summer, and I do NOT recommend it. Go back to your blissfully normal, demon-free life while you can.

The day Rowan Wildes became a champion, her life fell apart. Facing a failing body, waning magic, and a bloodthirsty nemesis, she will stop at nothing to regain what she’s lost. Little does she know, her fate was woven long ago, and the threads reach farther than she ever imagined. #questpit #W #DF

A graphic with the novel title (fruit of spoiled seed by Shannon Reault) and a mini synopsis. The slide is purple with a forest background and a raven and witchcraft decoration. Synopsis: After concluding her first year of training at Typhon Academy with a record-breaking performance at the Spring Exhibition, Rowan Wildes is changing the perception of female Corpian Witches on Ouros Island. But when her magic inexplicably weakens, leaving relentless pain in its wake, she is forced to return for her second year at Typhon with physical and magical deficiencies which, if discovered, put her future in the High Priest’s Service at risk. Determined to stop her deterioration, she discovers her jaded training nemesis, Taran, has turned to forbidden sigil magic to seek his revenge. Willing to stop at nothing to reverse the damage Taran inflicted, she embarks on a desperate search to uncover his dirty work, unearthing a buried history of malevolent witchcraft, and the unfortunate fate of the women who fell victim to it. When Rowan is forced to face the reality of her condition and decide between saving her reputation and exposing the ugly truth, she takes matters into her own hands, and it just might cost her her life.A graphic with a background of wildflowers and tarot card decorations.

That’s what scared me the most – damage only proved irreversible once it was done.” “Our hips moved like rolling tides, a rhythmic stringed instrument pulled by the moon.” “Arden’s beauty reflected the layers of the Earth. His dew-dipped olive skin pulled smooth across the ridges of his toned limbs, giving them the soft strength of worn wood. His eyes were emblazoned by the gleam from his iron core of pure elemental passion.” “Blood ran down my forearm as I sat back from the flames rising higher and higher. The candle cackled with madness beside me.” The graphic is decorated with a henbane flower over a background of a herbology textbook.

The graphic has a background of wood decorated with a stone cottage and a wooden sign that reads “Strega’s Apothecary” The excerpt is as follows: I spent every day of my life flanked by the ocean on all sides. Wrapped in its furious embrace, brewing storms and delivering sieges on the very same waves that pruned me as a child. At some indiscernible time between shedding my adolescence, and growing an armor of calloused skin, I’d come to fear it. A realm of unruly mystery connecting our shores to the hazy lands on the horizon – allies and enemies alike. It couldn’t be trusted. This was why Ouros Island needed protection. My protection. It was my destiny, etched into my bones, I was sure of it. And yet, my feet remained firmly planted at the edge of the docks, wary to stray from the solid safety of land. But I didn’t have a choice. If I stood a chance of keeping this ailment a secret, I needed a cure. And there was only one place to get one.
