Agent pitch

I'm pitching my novel to an agent during the WisRWA annual conference in May. Here's my draft so far:

The Vagrant is a 90,000 word paranormal romance for young adults. The story is set in Modern-day America with a few flashbacks to earlier times. Throw Rip Van Winkle and Alice in Wonderland into a witch's cauldron, stir them up, and you might conjure this tale.

Rebecca, a young Salem witch, escapes a centuries-long slumber and hooks up with an eighteen-year-old boy named Michael. Each has been longing for a sense of purpose and finds it in the other, but their goals conflict. The boy wants to be Rebecca's white knight. He follows a haunted path through magic mirrors and weird illusions trying to free the girl from her exile in the hallucinatory World of Mortal Dreams -- unaware she doesn't want to be rescued.

Rebecca believes she's linked to Michael by prophecy and hopes to use her netherworld as a time capsule to pull him two centuries forward. He'll lead mankind from the edge of darkness and she'll be the pure witch standing by his side, but she can't tell him that. The Witch's code precludes the girl from revealing anything about her quest except through riddles, illusions and dreams.

Rebecca's sworn secrecy becomes all the more difficult when she and the boy fall in love. The ability to keep slipping out of exile and visit him is diminishing fast. She'll soon lose Michael if he doesn't figure things out. But if she relents, ignores the Code and tells him everything, she can't possibly be the pure witch described in the prophecy, and he might not be the messiah.
