Thank you all for an incredible #questpit on friday. We wanted to wait a moment to discuss this, but we have been witnessing an uptick in AI usage in our events. We want to state that this is strictly against the rules, and though we function on an honor rule basis— (1/3)

Olena needs to find a dragon to save her family, but everywhere she turns a new myth sprouts up. Including herself. 🌿death/bone magic 🪻inspired by slavic folklore 🌞mythical coming of age 🪻missing someone you never knew 🌿a magical band of misfits #questpit #YA #F #AG

THE BONE COLLECTOR. a light green background, comps: Eragon, Where the Dark Stands Still, The Last Unicorn, The Counterpart, and Daughter of the Bone Forest. There are floral elements, bones, and art in the top and bottom right corners. "Pitch:
Raised to compete to become her father’s heir, Olena Thunderchild has kept her bone magic a secret all her life. But when a plague threatens her siblings and village, she treks into the mythical woods to find the “cure.” With the support of two Animal Weavers, Olena learns how to be a Bone Breaker and the ways of the world." "Snippet:
Olena cinches the purse shut, turning it over to study the intricate threads and beads of the outside. Black spiders with brown dots and dark green vines flow across the maroon fabric. Olena traces them like she imagines her mother did. Did she keep her bones in it too? Did she collect bones at all, or were Bone Breakers not supposed to store the dead so close?"

Text next to an image of dragon gargoyles reaching out from a cathedral steeple-
Rooted in Stone
YA Urban Fantasy
100k words

Words written over a dark black background with a crow motif-
Rumors say that St. Romain’s is haunted. That suits lonely, troubled goth-girl Helena, perfectly fine. Right away she is fascinated by the eerie sculptures on the campus chapel. Wounded by past rejections, she is reluctant to open up to anyone. All she wants to do is fool her therapist long enough to not get kicked out of another school. When she develops a crush on the mysterious and beautiful Kia, Helena learns her secret… Kia is a gargoyle. The statues are not just stone, but powerful guardians of a rift between worlds. These uncanny guardians quickly find a friend in Helena, but she hides a dark power of her own.
When war spills through the rift, the stones of their beloved chapel begin to crumble and Helena is drawn into the battle to protect the world. Trapped in a strange, technicolor netherworld, our goth-girl heroine must face the darkness within or risk the collapse of both worlds and the destruction of her newfound family of stone… and Kia with them.
