Every year, the Underworld Goddess Ixtab hunts teens and takes them to Xibalbá to devour them. Alondra, Gus & Javi escaped her, but she'd take her revenge on them. Can Gus survive Xibalbá while his sister tries to save him? #posterpit #YA #H #Q

Egyptian gods divided the Staff of Maat -a weapon with the power to transform reality- into 3 pieces: 1 for Ra, 1 for Ptah, and 1 for the traitor god Amon. Now their descendants will fight for the pieces, ignoring a conspiracy in the shadows to kill them all #MENApit #YA #F #QU
EVEN GODS DIE. Even Gods bleed. Anuki learns it the hard way. She can't save her brother's life or stop the war. She's been exiled to another realm, and the war goddess Sekhmet wants Anuki to free her. If she accepts, she could save her father... or burn out #MENAPit #YA #QU #F

Moodboard: Dark fantasy Victorian vibes with purple color composition. Top row, left-to-right: a Byronic handsome man in black, a palace, a dark figure burning in hellfire, a masked female assassin of dark complexion holding a dagger, a serpentine forest trail at night marked with red flowers. At the center, next to a silver plume, is the text: “This world, my dear, is the slaughterhouse of noble ideals.” Bottom row, left-to-right: a dark gaslit street, a gaslit city blanketed in coal smog at night, a young woman in a Victorian gown, wrought-iron gates opened to a foreboding foggy estate in the dark, a trail of red petals leading to a dark stone temple gate.
A gaunt mouse snatched bread crumbs from my lunch tray. I did not have the heart to give her a name, afraid I might lose her, too. The lingering scent of mud and mildew hung in the air, a long-forgotten tomb. Through the thin mattress, the bed’s cast-iron rods dug into my ribs. I clenched my jaw to keep my teeth from chattering and pulled the threadbare blanket tighter around my body, hugging my knees to my chest. It did little against the chill creeping into my bones. The raging blizzard had transformed the courtyard into a churning white sea, rattling the broken window shutters hanging askew. I was not allowed visitors or to set foot outside. My only reminder of life beyond these walls was the peeling wallpaper’s faded floral pattern. The medications I was forced to swallow left a cotton taste in my mouth and a dull ache in my skull.
An engineer. A Dragon hoarding romance books. A dysfunctional family of gods. Not the start of a joke, but Sy's undoing. When her ex, the chosen one, is murdered, gutsy Sy fights the gods to escape a fate worse than death: becoming the god's eternal slave
