WHAT IS YOUR BOOK ABOUT?

Slaying a god is no simple task. But it’s what Scarlet must do to save her mother, the kingdom—and possibly the world. 
After sixteen-year-old Scarlet makes a pact with the goddess Death in exchange for her life, she sets her sights on the god who nearly killed her: Riordan. She’s determined to save her imprisoned mother before Riordan can extract the secret that would grant him unfathomable power and threaten the century-long peace between the five gods of Quintras. But she can’t do it alone. As she begins to harness the strength of her fire magic, she finds others who share her quest to defeat the god who terrorizes his own kingdom. When she realizes Death is intent on keeping her out of the crossfire between gods, Scarlet strains against her obligation to obey the goddess. As time runs short, Scarlet seeks a way to break her bond with Death—a choice that could have severe consequences. Can Scarlet save her mother before Riordan unravels the fabric between the realms of life and death?

WHAT SETS YOUR BOOK APART FROM THE COMPETITION?

Death’s Emissary is a female-led coming-of-age fantasy where mortals clash with gods over the fate of their world. It features a unique setting where power-hungry gods can choose a human as an incarnate and take physical form in the world. A pact with the goddess of Death saves Scarlet’s life and gives her new power, but subjects her to the whims of her new patron god. The bonds of family, friendship, and duty are tested, telling the tale of the sacrifices that must be made to protect what—and who—you love.
