I published my debut YA fantasy novel this week: Tempest Epic of Faölan Book 1. It is 103k words. I will include a blurb below. Comment emails below or email me at [email protected] if you're interested to be an ARC reader to leave me an honest review on Amazon and Goodreads. Thanks!
PS I also released a novella prologue to the series (23k words) with a strong female MC if you're interested in that too (that blurb is below the Tempest one).
Tempest Enter Jarlith. Overlooking the sea, Jarlith spots an armada of foreign ships approaching the coast of his village. As soon as Jarlith sees the red sails on the ships, he knows who they are—the enemy. At that exact moment, the tempest begins. Lightning crackles, splitting the stormy skies overhead, as a deadly mix of rain and fire begin falling. Out on the rough seas, waves beat against the approaching enemy ships, but Jarlith understands that no natural force will stop the invading armada. It will be up to Jarlith to save his people. Realizing this compels Jarlith to enlist with the Jakurian guard and unite with an estranged kingdom across the lands of Faölan. Together, they will have a fighting chance of liberating the capital city of Jakuri from this invasion. Hallis is a forest dweller, and feels a connection to all life around him. But when his best friend, Sapphire, is kidnapped by the invaders, he is forced to leave the solitary life he knew amongst his elfish folk, and venture forth to rescue her. The journey is rife with battles, tricksters, centaurs, giants, and other monsters that Hallis has never before encountered. Soon he is swept up with a roving band of centaurs who are relentless in their aim to re-establish solidarity between tribes and unify all of the species throughout Faölan. The two stories intertwine and conclude in an epic tale of friendship, betrayal, and romance as Jarlith and Hallis come together to liberate the capital. This stand-alone novel is an action-packed fantasy, full of new creatures, magical abilities, warfare, and intrigue that will leave you wanting more and eager to dive into Book Two of the Epic of Faölan series.
Fury (Prologue) If you’re looking for a fun, witty fantasy tale wrought with magical creatures, clever plot twists, and a strong female protagonist who will feel like your best friend, then this story is for you. In an ancient land where myth and magic thrive, one stubborn she-elf named Emma must fight for her life against the powers of darkness, a behemoth squid, and the fury that resides in her own heart. Fury is the prequel novella to the Epic of Faölan series and ends with no cliffhangers, but will give you every reason to dive into reading the rich and fantastical YA novels that follow.
