If You Die It’s Your Own Fault

YOU DIE IT’S YOUR OWN FAULT. (currently seeking representation)
Young Adult Fantasy Book

Fayedra is the embodiment of trust issues and when she meets Kit it’s fear at first sight as she sings and controls his blood. Many wish to use the powers of sirens for their own gain. When Fayedra is captured her newly acquired earthling companion, Kit, is left alone in her world. He is aided by a dragon, accosted by a talking toad who needs a kiss, and winds up engaged to a scary lesbian warrior princess. With the help of these unlikely allies, Kit might be able to save Fayedra and maybe all the sirens.IF YOU DIE IT’S YOUR OWN FAULT, is an escapist’s dream blended with humour and heart. It’s a fantasy, a romantic comedy, and an adventure story about finding your found family. Complete at 80,000 words it is a standalone with series potential. It is intended for an upper young adult audience with adult crossover appeal. It is most like A Dark and Hollow Star by Ashley Shuttleworth, Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust with inspiration from Cassandra Clare’s The Infernal Devices trilogy, Thomas Harris’s, Silence of the Lambs and Avatar the Last Airbender.
