ALT A moodboard with orange and pink undertones and a starry overlay. The images include: a desert with mountains in the distance, a rocketship racing through a cloudy sky, a shooting star in a purple sky over a dark landscape, a close-up of a high-tech structure that looks like part of a ship or robot, a silhouette of a man standing in front of a starry sky, a red-toned image of the moon in the night sky, a small dead tree in the middle of a desert, a little girl sleeping on her side with tiny gold stars in her hair and scattered around her, a close-up of the jets of a rocket.

ALT An Agent's Guide To A STILL BEATING HEART
ALT Pitch: YA HISTORICAL FANTASY She wants answers. He wants her heart. A mysterious letter. A series of unfortunate accidents. And an enchanting voice singing deep within the opera house walls that won't leave Circe alone. With brutal murders staining Paris’ streets, and ghosts seemingly haunting her opera house, Circe is struggling to keep her father’s legacy alive. But when she follows the mysterious voice hauting her dreams and nightmares, she ends up making a deal---a deal sealed in magic and blood---that she cannot take back. Even worse, a monster is hunting the city of Paris, and its out for blood—her blood. If Circe wants to save her friends, herself, and all of Paris, then she must sing for her life.

ALT Circe was surrounded by mirrors. Thousands of shining glass mirrors, all of different size, make, and material, floated around her, suspended in an inky void. A gust of wind roared through the chamber, causing the mirrors to shake. Circe wrapped her arms around herself, shivering from the freezing gust. When the wind finally subsided, Circe dared to speak: "Hello?" Her voice sounded...different. Melodic. Each syllable was pulled out of her like notes drawn from the strings of a violin, lingering with a soft wail. Almost in response, the mirrors around her let out small and sharp sounds, not unlike tapping a crystal glass with a spoon. Circe twirled around, seeing her half-curious, half-frightened expression reflected back at her a million times over. "Is anyone there?"
