Thanks in advance! 
Dear____,
I recently read/saw that you ___________, and hoped you would find interest in my completed 88,000 word YA fantasy, A CALLING OF DARKNESS.
On the night of the Blood Moon, seventeen-year-old Helena falls asleep a farmer’s daughter and wakes cursed with the powers of death. When her routine sparring partner attacks her in a practice fight turned deadly, Helena reacts in self-defense. But her new-found powers take control, devouring his soul and every villager nearby. While admitting her sins to her parents, they reveal that she may be the descendant of Hades.
When Athena, the merciless ruler of Olympus, discovers the massacre, she executes Helena’s parents as punishment. Helena then becomes consumed by the need for vengeance. But revenge is a dangerous game, and with each life she takes she grows closer to losing her humanity, and with it, her heart. She must either let vengeance consume her or take her rightful place in Olympus, even if she has to incite a rebellion to do so. A war between the new gods and the old is what’s needed to restore order and peace to Olympus.
A CALLING OF DARKNESS is the first novel with series potential that entwines the darker worlds and unexpected romances similar to Sarah J Maas' A Court of Thorns and Roses, with a lethal anti-hero much like that of Veronica Roth's Carve the Mark.
