There is a graphic of red Asian lanterns hanging from a cherry blossom tree. Thereโ€™s also text that says โ€œyouโ€™re invited to support Red WIP anywhere, anytime forever and always in all universes. Querying later 2025.โ€ In the center is a moodboard with two sides. On the left are modern things: Tampa at night with a glowing bridge, a young man in a plaid shirt leaning over a desk with a pencil in hand, and a thorny rose. On the right are ancient sights: a Japanese temple against a red sky, a woman in traditional Vietnamese clothing, and an Asian painting of a plant with red flowers.

For Max, who lived & loved vicariously through Asian classics, being reborn into an AU East Asia shouldโ€™ve been a dream come true. But the original fairytales are grim. Living idyllically & loving freely will cost others their life according to his curse

This is a moodboard of orange and green images with a spooky, woodsy vibe including a hand with a vine, and deer at night, an eye reflecting fire, a set of pill bottles, top surgery scars with a barbed wire tattoo, and a black woman covered in ivy

A Southern inheritance is always darkโ€”whether it's a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra spurns them all, but when her dad disappears, she must choose which monsters to slay, and which to become.

A moodboard in dark tones, featuring a painting of a blond man with chin length hair in a green shirt at the center, with an X drawn across his face through which an xray of his skull can be seen. The images around him are of a university campus with gothic architecture, dark flowers and ferns, chemistry glassware, a ring of sparks, a river delta, machinery, anatomical images, and a smithy.

Text on it reads "THE BODY ABHORS A STRAIGHT LINE. FATE DOES NOT STRIKE IN A STRAIGHT LINE."

Figures depicted include: a mythical parrot, a white flower, a nereid, a sphinx, a harpy, a cherub, a sparm whale, a cat on a ship's deck, a mermaid, a dragon flying over islands, a hippocampus, a seagull, a satyr, a dryad

Text in the centre:

Kallista Audax is a proud naval captain until witnessing colonial injustice causes her to become the notorious Pirate Queen. 

Then Doctor Geni Philistos comes into her life, providing Kallista's crew with much needed medical care.

But there's a problem: despite all her talent, Geni stands up for her medical ethics to a near-mutinous degree... and maybe worse than that, Kallista is falling hard for her newest crew member, which will just not do!

When the colonial powers tighten the snare around them, Kallista and Geni must decide whether love or duty wins the day.
