ALT Snippet: “Would you? Have regretted it, I mean?” Their eyes met. Delphine pinned him with her expectant stare, and he worried again whether she could rummage around his mind for the answers she sought. What could he say? She’d no doubt find him obsessive if he told her the truth – how he’d spent so many waking moments wondering if she remembered their one dance as fondly as he did, when moonlight had clung to her hair and tickled her face as she’d taunted him beneath the stars. How he’d been so relieved to see her on board his ship, in a way he couldn’t put into words. How he hadn’t managed to get rid of the smell of sugar since meeting her, and didn’t want to. Would he have regretted her kiss? “No, Ceraid.” He swallowed, shuffling under the weight of the question. “I could have never regretted it.”

ALT 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.
