Series Pitch — One Sentence
One mortal woman. Four fae bonds. Six books to break the world open.
Series Pitch — Paragraph
For three hundred years, the Whispermark — an ancient working that bends reality to a spoken word — has slept. For three hundred years, the four fae courts of Faerwynn have lived in uneasy peace. Then a twenty-two-year-old mortal woman is delivered to the cold court of the Hollow Crown as the decade's tithe, and the first bond strikes her wrist before the ceremony is over. By the end of Book One, the third bond will have struck. By Book Three, all four. By Book Six, the realm of Faerwynn will know, finally, what the Whispermark was for. The Whispermark Saga is a Why-Choose dark romantasy — Caroline Peckham's Zodiac Academy meets Carissa Broadbent's The Serpent and the Wings of Night, with the court politics of Sarah J. Maas's ACOTAR underneath.
