A photo of a young woman with one eye purple and a small drop of blood by her mouth. There is text overlaid that says, "I don't know what it is. I don't even know if it has a name. But its only wish is to consume."

There is something wrong with Maha.

Her eye changes color and that's when the visions begin. She must travel back to her family's small village in Palestine to learn how to stop it. But what is real, and is the truth worth the price of Maha’s sanity? #MENApit #AG @menapitch.bsky.social

EXCERPT:  “Where is it?” Tabby asked, and Felix pulled the scarf fully from around his face. He was sweating. Gross. 

 “Not here,” he muttered. “There was a Scholar.” 

 “You lost it?” Tabby sounded disgusted. Her long black hair was gathered in a high ponytail, the sleek mane falling down her back as she leaned forward in her seat.
 
 “There was a Scholar,” Felix repeated defensively. “She punched me in places that may never recover, Tabitha.”

PITCH: In a kingdom where necromancy is illegal, budding necromancer Sera fights her way to the top of the kingdom court. Discovery means death, but Sera has always wanted to make an impact and she won't let something like morals get in her way. 

EXCERPT: 
They would be, Sera thought, the blood thrumming in her ears. The dead here had been raised. En-masse, probably. She could only imagine the power that had taken. A whole village’s dead, raised in one night. She could see the figure now in her mind’s eye, a Harbinger cloaked in black under the light of a silvery full moon, the crimson wash of his Necromantic power seeping into the soil like blood and unleashing horrors, an army of the dead clawing their way out of their final resting places. She shivered.
