im an epic fantasy writer in and out - even if the book is grounded (set on Earth), i like to write about big stakes, large casts, complicated politics, and messy ass relationships HAHAHA ✨the more complex, the better!

Six of Crows meets Teach the Torches to Burn in A SONG OF SILVER AND SCARLET, a queer subversion of Romeo & Juliet. In a world full of witches and dark magic, Viola and Vašek are assassins sent to kill the other, and they don’t fall in love—at least, not with each other. 😏 #QueerPit #YA #F #FR

A black background with a gold border at the edges, and two character sketches in the middle. One shows Viola, a girl with dark skin and hair, holding a sword. The other is of Vašek, a boy bloodied and exhausted from battle. Gold lettering across the top reads, "A Song of Silver & Scarlet: Trope Map" and the following tropes are listed around the character art. Viola: asexual, demiromantic, bi/pan, & poly; touch her & die but make it Sapphic; reluctant assassin x healer; grumpy x sunshine but gay (F/F); Girls Just Want to Have Swords; dangerous magic. Vašek: Achillean & demi; a royal guard x his prince; clueless besties both believing they're the only one catastrophically in love; This Cuddling Is Totally Platonic (TM); just kiss already! Both: Dual POV, political scheming, imposter royalty. Character art is from Pinterest and belongs to the artists. A black background with a gold border at the edges, and the character art of Viola to the right. The text reads: “A Song of Silver & Scarlet: Viola A girl caged by magic, longing to be free. A boy desperate to save his dying sister. The political plot that forces them to masquerade as royalty to assassinate each other—and the river of dark magic waiting to be unleashed. Viola is not a princess, but to save the woman she loves, she must become one. Bound by blood magic to a life of misery, Viola is offered freedom for herself and her partner if she poses as her queendom’s heir and assassinates the prince of a rival nation. But Viola is already one secret away from death—her silver blood marks her as a bone witch, one of the illegal magic wielders blamed for creating the Rift, a river of dark magic that bisects the world, sucking the life from everything it touches.” Along the bottom are the comp titles Six of Crows, Teach the Torches to Burn, The Sunbearer Trials, and A Prince Among PiratesA black background with a gold border at the edges, and the character art of Vašek to the left. The text reads: “A Song of Silver & Scarlet: Vašek Vašek is not a prince, but to save his dying sister, he will wear a false crown. The king offers Vašek the only known cure for his sister’s illness, and in exchange, Vašek agrees to impersonate the prince to murder the heir of the neighboring queendom. If he fails, his sister will die, but if he succeeds, Vašek will become the very monster he most fears. Neither Viola nor Vašek knows the other is also an imposter, and their plans soon unravel when assassins attack both parties. Viola and Vašek find themselves fighting together to survive, even as they struggle to decide whether to kill the enemy they were sent to destroy, or trust the only person who understands what it means to be used as a weapon. And time is running out—if Viola and Vašek fail in their missions, their loved ones will suffer the consequences, but if they succeed, it will unravel the magic holding the Rift in check and doom not just their nations, but the entire world.”
