Hello, I'm interested. Mine is also a YA fantasy. 80k-ish words. Currently working on a rewrite. Seventeen-year-old Amelia is hoping to escape the monotonous life her parents have planned for her and embarks on a journey across the world. She’s always yearned for adventure but finds more than she bargained for when she meets a woman named Casey upon arriving at her first destination.
Casey, twenty-six, has been on the run from the head of a terrorist organization who's seeking her because of her magical ability to restore any item.
Not knowing her fate is intertwined with three others, Amelia unwittingly gets involved in a terrorist plot to control ancient generators that bring stability to the world’s energy, a phenomenon which gives the world’s inhabitants unique abilities. Should she decide to standby and do nothing, war will be brought to a world that knows little of it.
Let me know if you are interested.

Here is my blurb type thing:
Chen Mu has nothing but his name.
Imprisoned in a secluded mountain cave for two of his sixteen years, he has only vague memories of a grisly past. And a headache. Suddenly finding himself an involuntary member of the Spirit Sect, a group of elite and bloodthirsty demon-slayers, he’s certain of just one thing: he does not belong.
His strikingly red (and apparently cursed) hands and the metal mask the sect forbids him to remove make him both outcast and target.
Labeled a harbinger of death and framed for the murder of his sect brother, Chen Mu’s only hope to change his Fate and prove he’s not a killer is to find a bone of a century-extinct demon. With it, he can wish for anything. And hopefully not be executed.
The only trifle? His devoted band of admirers: the aforementioned bloodthirsty sect members, a clan of half-demon beasts set on dismembering him (for sins of his past life, of course), and a disenchanted fox spirit who either wants to kiss or kill him--possibly both at the same time.
He can only hope karma forgot to write down his name.
And even that might not belong to him.
