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.

Broken and strained stone with arabesque patterns.

Clinging to the Stones

Hussain A. Ayoub

Epic Fantasy, Multi-POV, 109,000 Words

Quote from The Tartar Steppe by Dino Buzzati: “Everything goes by — men, the seasons, the clouds, and there is no use clinging to the stones, no use fighting it out on some rock in midstream; the tired fingers open, the arms fall back inertly and you are still dragged into the river, the river which seems to flow so slowly yet never stops.”

Broken and strained stone with arabesque patterns. Clinging to the Stones Hussain A. Ayoub Epic Fantasy, Multi-POV, 109,000 Words Quote from The Tartar Steppe by Dino Buzzati: “Everything goes by — men, the seasons, the clouds, and there is no use clinging to the stones, no use fighting it out on some rock in midstream; the tired fingers open, the arms fall back inertly and you are still dragged into the river, the river which seems to flow so slowly yet never stops.”

Prayer beads dangling from a black crescent on a background of broken stone with arabesque patterns.

The Pitch:

The Broken Warrior:
Born with brittle bones, Acyrnar is a disgraced philosopher-warrior of the Koldaryun Order. Driven by familial devotion, he embarks on a daring mission: kidnap the Empress of the Crimson Empire to secure a legendary spear—the key to curing his father's affliction.

The Cornered Empress:
Empress Melam is trapped in a religious, tyrannical court ruled by iron and prophecy. A desperate mother, she orchestrates a treasonous heist using street thieves. Her mission: break her only son out of an impregnable fortress known as “the Cage” before he is slaughtered in a divine succession ritual.

Two desperate hearts. Two impossible heists. One inevitable collision.

Comps:

Background of broken stone, black stone, with arabesque patterns:

The Traitor Baru Cormorant: (Geopolitical Intrigue)
The Will of the Many: (Social Criticism)
The Age of Madness: (Moral Ambiguity)
The Jasad Heir: (Immersive SWANA Setting)
Six of Crows: (High-Stakes Heist)
Andor: (Slow-burn & realistic)

Excerpt (in red):

Background of grey broken and stain stones with geometric patterns and a triangle of three green stars.

An excerpt from the book:

 “You are marked by the stars.”
Mother used to repeat that grim prophecy, her voice a warm feather tickling his cheek, her words an icy blade piercing his soul. “Like the Surabrenna, three daughters bind you: one will pass without you, one will weep for you, one will burn with you.”

Inspired by Syrian history & mythology:

A disgraced philosopher-warrior must kidnap an Empress to save his dying father.

The Empress plots a daring heist to save her condemned son.

Their collision will ignite a war, shatter a hundred-years peace, & decide the fate of nations.
