Banner:
[Image description: A black banner saying "A Tale of Daggers & Cupcakes" in white lettering, with a vector art of white silhouettes of crossed daggers and a white cupcake with pink icing over them, copying the classical pirate flag with crossed bones and a skull instead of the daggers and cupcake /end ID]
Moodboard:
[Image description: a moodboard consisting out of nine square photos forming a square. The top left image is a part of a sheath and a sword hilt. The top middle image is a view of the sunset in the mountains, with silhouettes of roofs in view. The top right image is a photo of two people standing, one facing the other, in a way that we can only see the torsos and arms. The center of that image is the arm of one of those people, in a sleeve embroidered with gold. The middle lest image is a person holding a dark-red snake, the snake wrapping around their arms and hands. The center image is a turquoise-green one-color square, with the letterings "A tale of Daggers & Cupcakes" in the middle. The middle right image of a ship at sea, with the sunset in the background. The bottom left image is a coast near the mountains on a sunny day, with a blue sea and green vegetation. The bottom middle image is the silhouette of a person with long hair in front of the sunset. The bottom right image is a photo of a bead door, obscuring something like a shop or marketplace. /end ID]

Brief description:
In the coastal city-state of Shaniga, it's tradition for only women to take on professions that might involve murder, such as hunter, fisher, warrior, guard, or assassin. Milnur Shikimalut, a young heir of one of the most powerful assassin families, navigates social life, adulthood, and romance, while also trying not to die of her high-risk profession.
Blurp:
"Are you afraid of death?"
"No. I know better than to disrespect it, but I do not fear it. Death is my co-worker. And how good could I possibly be at my job if I were afraid of my co-workers?"
