Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.

What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia

A fake case file lays open. On the left side of the folder is a sketch of a girl with a sticky note beside it that reads: “Emma Bridge is believed to have cut her hair. Police sketch artists have taken a guess at what she may look like now.” Under it is a map of all US railroads with another sticky note that reads: “Last seen in California, current whereabouts unknown. An anonymous tip reports she has made it out of the state.” Under that, the name Emma Bridge is crossed out, replaced with the name Peyton Freys.

On the right side of the folder is a clipping of newspaper that reads: “Hollywood’s Beloved Missing” with the date 4/13/1996 below it. Text on the page reads: “What we know: YA Contemporary (with mystery and romance), 82k words” “Represented by Amanda Wooden at SBR Media” “Runaway in hiding, fake identity (turned real identity), mental health rep, genderfluid and pan rep, found family, 90s small-town nostalgia.”

Blurb

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy…

Ryn is a small-town thief who has a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d be a fool to take up, but with her family scattered across the sea after the draft, a fool is what she’ll need to be to find them.

Five for Silver, Six for Gold…

Seven is set on his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. Once whispers of the past begin to resurface and nobles begin dying around them, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The castle is under lockdown, and all bets for the crown are placed on their capture.

Seven for a Secret, Never to Be Told.

Text is on a piece of parchment. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines.

The Atmosphere:
There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand. Picture seven shows a bottle of alcohol. Picture eight has a medieval alleyway. And picture eight shows a ship's crew enjoying a sunset.

There is text below the collage that says: ON SUBMISSION NOW!

The most chaotic part of the entire book-writing process for “Mark of a Magpie” was the messages, emails, and comments I’d get at strange hours from my alpha and beta readers. Enjoy 😂 #ChaosPit #Q #F #R #amquerying

There are two collages of comments under different categories.

Category one reads: “My beta readers when someone is murdered.”  Comments read: “BRUH THIS IS SO BALLER I’m SCREAMING i cannot believe he signed it too lmao that is such unhinged energy and i am HERE for it” “YES I LOVE TWIN SHENANIGANS” “this bitch.” “there’s so many dead people and i love it” “i think the brunette lady with the braids did it” “i’m suspicious of him and i’m starting to feel like a deeply mistrusting person lol” “squints seymour i’ve decided i hate him seymour is a name of evil” “i find her suspicious. nice. but suspicious.” “FUCK WHO HAS RED HAIR” “i suspect this loser”

Category two is: “My beta readers when Kierce and Seven are in a scene together.”

Comments read: “it’s giving exes or maybe that’s just my gay brain” “haha gay” “great job yes gay wheeeeeeeee” “we love emotional support outlaws” “their ship name could be kevin lol that’s such a straight name too i’m cracking myself up” “wait holy fuck”

Gru meme about Sir Barristan. He gets progressively happier as he goes through his slides of evil plans. Slide one says, “I let the nobles kill each other.” The second slide says, “I kill the girl who keeps interfering.” The third slide says, “She lives.” Gru does a double-take at this slide, not having expected her to live. He pulls out a fourth side as a back-up plan, which reads, “I send my nephew to burn down her house.” He is very satisfied with this plan.

A picture of a boy is in a locket, surrounded by hearts and comments from beta readers. The locket says “Kierce my beloved.”

Comments around the locket read: “executive decisions rule UNLESS YOU’RE KILLING KIERCE” “i love him” “i fucking LOVE him if you kill him i might not forgive you” “afksjldjlkfsf em i— kierce— i i fkjjskdfj i have no words he said ONE SENTENCE and i was like yep and this is my favorite character” “OH MY GOD KIERCE” “all the men will sob actually they’ll read pierce and realize they can never be as good as him” “heart eyes emoji” “okay. i return to pierce. he is so. he is so. i return”

These are the snippets and lines that were highlighted the most by my lovely alpha readers! 🥰 📖🐦‍⬛"Mark of a Magpie"🐦‍⬛📖 •YA Romantic Fantasy• •119k Words• #BluePit #Q #YA #F #R #Dis #amquerying

Snippet One:

“Are you all right?” Ryn asked, unsure how else to respond. She wondered if offering her bread would be appropriate in this situation.
“Of course not!” Seven leaned against the door before sliding down to the floor. He ran a hand through his hair and pulled at it. “After all of this—after everything—I wasn’t the one who killed him.”
Ryn tentatively tried to offer him solace. “You were the last person he saw, which might be just as good. It could even be better, perhaps.”
He tilted his head to look at her. “How so?”
“In his last conscious moments, he realized that he could have been saved.”

Text is on a piece of parchment paper with ocean waters and gold flower outlines behind it.

Snippet Two:

The boy looked up at her, a friendly smile on his face. “Then who are you?”
“Someone who bit off more than she could chew,” Ryn admitted. Something about the boy’s demeanor was inviting, and she found herself wanting to move closer to him despite her better judgment. “Do you need help? I don’t know what they’ve caught you for, but any enemy of the king is a friend of mine.”
He shook his head, brown hair matted to his head with something akin to blood or sweat, she couldn’t tell which—the unmistakable red undertones almost seemed natural. The boy held up his shackles for her to see before dislocating his thumbs to slip out of them.
Ryn would have thrown up had she had any food to let go of. She covered her mouth, gagging nonetheless. “You could have just said no!”

The text is on a piece of parchment with ocean waters and gold flower outlines behind it.

Snippet Three:

“He loved the presence of the people more than anything else.”
Seven was a few feet ahead of her, but he must have felt her eyes on his back, or perhaps he was speaking more to himself. Either way, Ryn closed the gap between them, placing a hand on his arm when she reached his side. “I wouldn’t think that to be entirely true.” He gave her a confused glance, almost defensive, but she continued. “I’d think he loved your presence most.”

The text is on a piece of parchment with ocean waters and gold flower outlines behind it.

Misc Lines:

His mother had been stunning, but Ryn found herself more drawn to the way Seven wore his demons as accessories.

Ryn pointed her blade in Sereia's direction at the command. "History will speak of me with kinder words than it will you."

"She is your ally," Ryn said, pulling her arm from his grasp. "And I do not make enemies. I tell people what they need to hear, and sometimes they decide that killing me would be easier than confronting the words."

He held his scathing glare as they shoved him forward. She bent, he spat an insult at Ryn. "The witch didn't burn."
"She didn't burn either," Ryn said, standing firm.

The text is on a piece of parchment with ocean waters and gold flower outlines behind it.
