WHEN THE MOTHS SWALLOWED THE SUN

Adult science fantasy

Represented by Shannon Lechon at Azantian Literary Agency (ALA)

The Substance meets When They Burned the Butterfly.

In a decaying dynasty built on lies, an insect wielder's pheromone magic evolves her into an eldritch monster. When she's captured by a cocky swordswoman sworn to destroy her family, they forge a deadly bond. To unearth a conspiracy that threatens them all, they must decide if their pheromone-laced lust for one another is a sword, a weakness, or the only thing that can save them.
