the pitch A woman from a line of madness finally proves she was never broken-the bog that has haunted her family for generations answers when she feeds it, crowning her in power. But when its hunger takes the woman she loves, she becomes something monstrous, lost to grief and still water. Meanwhile, her lover's twin brother journeys toward the horror with a worn-out knight-two men deemed expendable by a kingdom at war, finding each other on throad. What waits at the end will demand they all learn the same truth: the only way to survive is to let go. What Becomes of Still Waters Frankie Joy

the characters Lilijana and Rue Lilijana comes from a line of madness, drawn to the bog as her grandmother before her. Rue has stood by Lilijana their whole childhood. It was no surprise when Rue kissed Lilijana at the bog's edge years ago. Their love was born from loyalty and grief, and now must survive the same. Lukas and Sandro Lukas, burnt and blind in one eye, was deemed unfit for war. Sandro was a knight for the kingdom suddenly found expendable. Their love isn't fated-its consequence, earned mile by mile. What Becomes of Still Waters Frankie Joy

the opening The ground squished, thick mud slipping between Lilijana's toes. A deceiving patch of moss floated to her left. She pivoted to the right, settling on firm earth. Reeds bowed, bent by a warm gust. It carried the distinct smell of Mrkava's summers: ripening rye, wild strawberries, junipers, and decay. The near-intoxicating sweetness drifted near the far edge of the village, where the pine grew small and twisted. The bog lay there, only moss and water-so her mother often reminded. But it kept what it consumed. Generations ago her family's home was settled there, back when the bog was nothing more than a puddle. Now those weathered boards were buried deep in its soil. Her great aunt, too: wandered out on a waxing moon and never returned. She wasn't the only one in the matrilineal line to give to the bog. The first was a stillborn daughter.

Tropes & comps: Irish folklore, she's the monster, generational trauma, only one grave. The yearning in the time of plague found in Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell, Catholicism vs the Supernatural in The Possession of Alba Dƭaz by Isabel CaƱas, the medieval horror of Between Two fires by Christopher Buehlman, the death-crossed lovers of Nosferatu directed by Robert Eggers.

The pitch: When CiarĆ”n Murtagh hears the cry of his familyā€™s banshee for the first time in a decade, he knows one of his own is fated to die. Yet, his family doesnā€™t believe his warnings, and why would they? The last time CiarĆ”n heard the banshee, he didnā€™t tell a soul until after his younger cousin tragically died under his watch. Heā€™s been the family pariah ever since. Desperate for redemption, CiarĆ”n hunts down the banshee in search of answers. Sheā€™s equal parts frightening and alluring, and in his struggle to confront her, he inadvertently triggers the bansheeā€™s memories. Memories of when she was a servant of his household, decades agoā€”a woman named Deirdre. In hopes of learning whose death she foretold, CiarĆ”n tenuously agrees to help Deirdre remember who she was. They begin meeting by moonlight, and with every clandestine encounter, his macabre desire for Deirdre grows. When the devastating bubonic plague befalls the Murtagh household, and Deirdreā€™s memories reveal a dark scandal in the familyā€™s history, CiarĆ”n must decide whether to stay by his familyā€™s side in their final hours or embrace the seduction of the death-bringer. But fate demands more than death, and Deirdre is no longer the only ghost cursed to haunt Clan Murtagh forever.

Image of a tall ship on the ocean with the title Storm Struck and the following text: A disgraced noble takes to the high seas to rescue a princess and win her hand in marriage, but falls in love with his surly sea captain instead.

The Pitch: Varos Belaro spent his whole life training for a dueling tournament he just lost - along with all his friends, his good name, and his career prospects. However, when he finds out that the kingdomā€™s princess has been kidnapped by an infamous pirate and the reward for saving her is her hand in marriage, he sees a chance at redemption. With the title of prince of the realm on the line, his family quickly strikes a contract with the fastest ship on the seas, and Varos takes off on an adventure to rescue the princess and his future. Kellan is the captain of the ship and a Stormrunner, a once-in-a-generation talent that can harness the power of storms for wind magic. After he saves Varos in a tempest, they collide in a steamy tryst, and Varos comes up with a plan to extend their fun by forming a gentlemanā€™s agreement until they find the princess. But when the rival who ruined Varosā€™s life emerges with his own Stormrunner on the only other ship that can beat them, Varos and Kellan must race them to be the first to save the princess. Facing wild storms, duels, and pirate battles, Varos must choose between the life heā€™s always wanted and the love he never thought heā€™d have.

CHAPTER ONE The rain made it easier to rob his grave. My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night's whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us. Us. As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth.

Excerpt: 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. The bedā€™s cast-iron rods dug into my ribs through the thin mattress. 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. The faded floral pattern of the peeling wallpaper was my only reminder of life beyond these walls. The medications I was forced to swallow left a cotton taste in my mouth and a dull ache in my skull. At least no screams echoed through the halls today.

Snippet... A fork of lightning split the rain-soaked sky in two, and the ground trembled with a deafening clap of thunder. But even after the rumbling faded, the bog still shuddered beneath me, swelling and quaking like a pair of lungs drawing their dying breath. I lurched away, my heart jolting against my throat as I scrambled back through the mud. Another crack of lightning. And in its wake, silhouetted against the flash of violet lightā€” A single grasping hand, clawing its way out of the earth towards me.

Once Gwen was called Wendy. She was promised love. All she lost was her humanity.
Once Hook was called Rosie. She was promised adventure. All it cost was her family.
Together, maybe a cranky immortal & a smug pirate can find a thing they didnā€™t know was missing.

A movie poster, at the top is the title ā€œHell Is Workā€ and underneath it a tag line ā€œThe Devil is in the detailsā€ The background is red with a light red graph showing a plummeting arrow representing a failing business. In the foreground is a three pronged Devilā€™s pitchfork with a halo around the central tine. Sitting on the curved crook of the right tine, nonchalant, with one arm wrapped around the tine is a black silhouette of a man wearing a suit and tie. His legs dangle casually above a field of flame. On the curved crook of the left tine, staring at the other man, is a white figure of a man with wings spread, casually playing footsie with the other man. At the bottom is the words ā€œA novel by Zed Prosperoā€
