Hi, my name is Nicolas Harrison

I wrote a YA Fantasy Book based on Greek Mythology. I hope you like it.

Plot:

Friday Walker lives a simple life in Washington DC with his guardian Donna and her friend Krystal. Unfortunately, fate throws him into New Hellas, a world where Graeco-Roman myths and legends are true. In this new world, which is distrustful of those from the "Iron-World" like him, the only way he can return home is to embark on a dangerous quest across an unfamiliar landscape filled with gods and monsters. He is accompanied by a clay-born girl and a dangerous but majestic manticore. However, unknown to them, something greater is lurking in the shadows that can destroy both their worlds.

My newest book, Disrupted, launched yesterday. I think it’s good, and I hope you do too.

Q: What happens when an earthquake shuts down the local high school and Sandee Mason is faced with both physical and emotional shakeups? Here’s a brief summary:

Sandee Mason loves stage-managing, which gives her the importance she’s craved since her brother died in Afghanistan. When a 7.1 earthquake erupts, and two of the school’s wings slide off their foundations, classes and activities are canceled. Sandee is now coping with the emotional earthquake that erupted when her brother was killed in Afghanistan 6 months ago and the physical earthquake that ransacked her town. Will the fall play go up even though the campus is closed, her best friend moves away, and a new boy breaks more promises than he keeps?

You can order it at https://www.amazon.com/Disrupted-B-Ly....

I’d be honored and grateful. Would you do that for a fellow reader and writer?

I'm A.L. Sirois, but you can call me Al. :-). My forthcoming YA book, MURDER IN MENNEFER, from Fitzroy Books (division of Regal House), is coming out on June 18th of 2024.

Here's part of what Small Press Picks said about it: "The title Murder in Mennefer may call to mind an Agatha Christie mystery, and though there is a Hercule Poirot-like figure in the book, this is not a mystery in the sense of Death on the Nile. Murder in Mennefer is more of a coming-of-age adventure. There’s even a love interest, the baker’s daughter. Sirois deftly balances these various strands. He is having some fun in this novel aimed at young adults, and he’s inviting us along. I’m on board, and you should be, too, whatever your age. It’s a terrific ride." (The full review is here: https://smallpresspicks.com/murder-in...)

Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of ROT & RUIN and MARS ONE, said this: "Murder in Mennefer is a wonderfully weird and devious novel! Great characters, lots of surprising twists, and a new take on ancient history! Readers will absolutely love this!"

Thank you so much! Raven Fenix-Porter here. I recently published my debut novel “Quest of Despair” link here:

https://amzn.eu/d/3vnzhhH

I absolutely adore my novel and hope you will too and bring it out of its obscurity!

It has imaginative characters like in "His Dark Materials" to a journey like "The Neverending Story". It’s enriching like “The Alchemist” (I hope!) and yet the story is completely different to all the above as it is about a privileged teen who has everything but cannot appreciate it. To losing it all when trapped in a parallel timeline where a clash between Archs and RayCrests (an angels and demons theme) lead him to some extreme decisions. It has romance. In a realistic way. Ultimately, it’s a YA fantasy novel that thoroughly explores the coming-of-age theme about self-discovery and the power of growing up.

Hi All!
More Than a Thief
My YA historical mystery came out this August and has a 4.9 rating on amazon and 4.7 on goodreads!
Here's the scoop:
In 1892, in the bustling town of Fall River, Massachusetts, 16-year-old Victoria feels trapped by her high-society, pre-debutante life. Not only is she forced to have a chaperone for anything outside of the house, but she is also stuck playing nursemaid to her mother suffering from an unexplained paralysis. Victoria's only escapes are visits with her neighbor Miss Lizzie Borden, reading Sherlock Holmes serials and—when the urge overtakes her—stealing.

When her next-door neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Borden are murdered and Lizzie is accused of committing the acts, Victoria begins crossing paths with apprentice detective Declan Dempsey as they both search for the truth. Victoria doesn't want to believe that Lizzie committed those murders. Because if her friend has a dark side, what does that mean for Victoria with her own sordid secret?

When Victoria discovers Lizzie also shares her penchant for stealing, Victoria swears off her secret habit for good. In her quest to not become Lizzie Borden, Victoria loses old friends, makes questionable new ones, and finds her fiercest enemy resides within her own skin.

"A twist on the enduring real-life mystery surrounding suspected murderer Lizzie Borden...An engaging drama with an appealing protagonist." - Kirkus

"A sure-footed page-turner that readers of historical mysteries will love." - Publisher's Weekly

"The writing is crisp and humorous and makes you feel the tension of Victoria being found out. Is Lizzie Borden guilty? Will Victoria overcome all to become her own woman? Read on, Mr. Watson." - Historical Novel Society

Hello,

Erik Swanson here. I will be running a free e-book promotion for my Tales of Alandria series of books from Monday, April 15th till midnight on Friday, April 19th on Amazon. This will be for the first two installments “Tales of Alandria Bridging of Worlds” and “Tales of Alandria Descent of Knights”. Both books take place within the world of Alandria.

In the first installment the eastern kingdoms of the western continent are locked in a state of civil war that was started by Thane Ethamec and aided by the Dark Lord Lufarian, but the rebellion is crushed by the combined forces of Narivangia and Romir lead by Prince Hithúrian and his cohorts nearly at the cost of his own life. Alongside that plot, an orphaned farmer Iragnar and his cousin John struggle to keep their farm afloat in his uncle’s absence with being called to war as a greedy sheriff takes advantage of the conflict for his own benefit. With the rebellion crushed, Lufarian then schemes of another way to bring the world under his heel with opening an ancient portal. Outside of the dimension Alandria is in, a futuristic power, the Anurian Republic, attempts to develop technology to extend itself through the multiverse. All will come narrowing down to the end. New allies and enemies will be made, people of different classes will band together and form an unlikely bond, and a kingdom will fall.

In the second installment the world of Alandria is under siege by the Dark Lord and his new allies, the Anurians. Many lands have been taken in the past months. The kingdoms of Narivangia and Romir fight on to ward off being dominated by the futuristic forces. The Magi Brotherhood and Knights of Eremor ride to King Horus’s request for aid in defending the eastern border of Romir. King Hithúrian and John Calamir come to King Horus and Princess Alania whilst they evacuate Oathera. The two kings ride to the west to consolidate a new plan in combating the overwhelming forces of the Dark Lord. Little do they know Captain Drizeppi and his squads pursue them across the lands with intent on capturing them. Behind the threat of an oncoming invasion of the Dark Lord’s forces, treacheries will be revealed. Off to the western mountainous regions, Iragnar Calamir trains in the Magi’s Apprentice Guild at the Amonfort. Iragnar discovers new friends amongst the apprentices and Elders there. Aramor watches the boy’s studies and training, taking him under his wing to be his only apprentice.

Hello! I wrote a book that is getting some very positive reviews and it is great fun to read.

It is titled, MEDUSA'S SON and it takes the vampire genre and does something that has never been done before. It technically counts as YA Dark Fantasy, but yes ... our old friends the vampires are present. So if you are DYING for a VAMPIRE BOOK TO SINK YOUR TEETH INTO ... THIS IS IT!

Here is the blurb on the back of the book:

Imagine living your whole life without knowing who you really are. Walt Baranov is barely old enough to enter the Russian nightclub, where he has an unfortunate encounter with a beautiful vampire. The shocking events after he is bitten start a maelstrom that engulfs the entire world.

The powers that be move on his discovery, and Walt finds himself confined to a state-of-the-art laboratory. Understanding his extraordinary biology is the key to eradicating vampires all over the world. He makes a connection with a lab subject and will do anything to save her from certain death. Walt sees her humanity when nobody else can. Not helping matters are the vampires of the world who are frantic to find and eliminate the young man named in their prophecy of doom.

Walt must outmaneuver the Russians, Americans, vampires, and even the Yakuza to save the young woman who has come to mean so much to him. It all comes down to a deadly showdown between monsters and military forces in the beautiful Alps of Japan. The outcome is one that could not be predicted, and the vampires have a new nemesis to fear.

The tale of Medusa’s Son is one of mystery, adventure, suspense, and more than a few surprises. Join Walt on his journey to find out who he is and how to undo the chaos his discovery has caused.

Hi my name is Dominique Pryor and I wrote book 8 years with grammar errors. I fixed many of those mistakes but need news reviews.

My book is Royal magic and here my book summary.

You cannot refuse or resist a claim of marriage if a prince chooses you. That is the rule of the Princess Festival an event designed to find a witch bride for a royal. Many witches do not oppose the rule but seer Andy Miller and her friends disagree with the Festival. Being force to marry a stranger and leaving your home doesn't appeal to the seer and her friends. Although her mother and sister would give anything for a chance to be called a royal. One day all their lives changes when a set of royals arrive to their small village of Weston. It seem these men have an interest in Andy and her closest friends which doesn't sit well with her mother and sister. Fate comes all to soon for Andy and her friends one that she cannot seem to prevent even with her power of foresight. Betrayals and proposals collides together with this young witch is force to overcome or fall under the new pressure of her life.

Hi! It's Federica Raguseo here! (or Dr Federica Raguseo because for some reason Goodreads is unable to remove the title from some of my books?)

Anyways, a few years back I wrote a retelling or Ariel's story and now I finally got around to edit it, illustrate and publish it. So if you like fantasy, mermaids, myths, adventure and witty sarcastic conversations between characters ... this is the one for you. Anyways - here's the synopsis:

Ariel never wanted to be a saviour. She never wanted to be charged with the destiny of the merpeople. But Ariel's fate had been sealed since the moment she was born, last of seven sisters in a dying kingdom. Her colourful tail marked her as unique, her beauty as an asset to be desired. But her true power was that of curiosity. She had always been fascinated by the humans above, the species that was ravaging her lands and murdering innocents in the Kingdom of the Undersea. She did not believe them all evil and was willing to risk her own life to find peace and stop the war. When her childhood friend Helios is drafted for an impossible mission to save the merpeople, Ariel springs into action by making a risky deal with the Sea Witch.

As she ventures into unknown lands, Ariel faces daunting challenges. Can she find humans who will aid her quest for peace? Will she unravel the truths concealed from her people? And most importantly, can she save her sisters and friends before it's too late?

Hi, Readers! My name is Rachael Krotec, and I'm a YA Fantasy author. I have a completed trilogy that is a futuristic dystopian series with magic:

Premonition
Bound
Foretold

I also have a new release on the horizon titled Woven Song. It is available for pre-order on both Amazon and B&N.

I often write about found family, grief/loss, with morally gray characters. Both my trilogy and upcoming release could be described as coming-of-age stories that are on the darker side.

This title uses virtual voice narration.
Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.

Based on true events

In the early 80's a family living in a house on an island perched atop steep bluffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean encounter an ancient evil that threatens to tear them apart. The children are the first to recognize the danger the family is in. The adults in complete denial that something so insane could really be happening. It becomes a horrifying race against time for the children to get the parents to acknowledge the terror coming for them all. A demonic presence seeking to use the family for its own nefarious purposes.

As the body count builds, they begin to unravel a dark history that connects their piece of the island to supernatural events of biblical proportions.

"A fast paced horror story full of twists and turns."

Hey y'all! My name is Carissa Anne, and my debut book came out just this month. It's a YA fantasy titled Rising Warrior, and is great for readers who enjoyed the Ranger's Apprentice, and those who enjoy Monty Python, the Quest for Camelot, and Barbie in the Three Musketeers. It's also great for readers who enjoy Robin Hood feels, brotherhood, childhood friends, rivals-to-friends, and stories with ladies-in-waiting, knights, and revenge. If that sounds right up your alley, be sure to check out the book blurb!

One lady-in-waiting. One dictator. A fierce desire for revenge.

It’s well known throughout Thedessa that Dictator Odin Ishard killed the heirs to the kingdom and the elite team of knights accompanying them–including Alyth Renley’s father. Now a lady-in-waiting to the queen, Alyth plots the demise of the man who killed her family.

The only problem?

While a skilled archer, she needs more skill to defeat the cunning dictator. She has to join the King’s Guard– the elite team of knights her dad was in– to gain the skills needed…or risk losing her societal status trying.

Through incredible circumstances, Alyth manages to be accepted into the Guard. Just days later, Thedessa is invaded by Ishard, and when the kingdom falls, Alyth is forced to flee into the deadly Seocca Woods with a group of knights to raise aid before their kingdom is lost completely.

When Alyth has the opportunity to kill the man who destroyed her life, will she choose to satisfy her craving for revenge, or save the lives of those around her?

Psychic Suit


Hi. My name is Osawese Agbonkonkon. I'm a University of Oregon student-athlete. I've been an avid writer for years and while at Oregon I am majoring in Economics with minors in English and History, along with plans to go to law school next. I also competed for the varsity Track & Field team. "Psychic Suit" is a project I've been working on for 6 years and is my "Magnum Opus". Publishing it is the goal I've been working towards for half a decade and I've finally released it with the company Songspire Books
I can best describe the novel as a YA superhero espionage thriller with sci-fi and fantasy elements. What really makes the story unique is some of the heroes in the novel have mental health conditions, and one of the big points in the story is how would a superhero who is a public figure revered and respected by millions go about their life while suffering from mental health challenges like so many people in the real world do.

It's out now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble

Hey everyone :)

I just wanted to share the first book I've ever written with you. It's a YA Romance novel called "When Everyone Left But You". It's a heartfelt and emotional romance that I believe many readers will connect with. At least that's what I hope after about 1 year of writing...

The blurb is at the end for you to get a better overview, and if you decide to read you can reach out to me anytime and we can chat about it, you can ask me questions about the characters, the plot, just everything you want to discuss. I hope you will have as much fun reading as I had while writing!

Blurb:
Can two broken hearts heal each other?
In the tranquil, picturesque town of Meadow Creek, life moves at a gentle pace, surrounded by rolling hills, whispering pines, and vast fields as far as the eye can see. Yet, beneath this serene facade, it's the calm before a perfect storm that is brewing and grumbling in the distance — a storm that will not only push Grace to the edge of life and death but also into the arms of someone as special and broken as herself.
Grace and Luca, two souls scarred by past traumas, find solace and strength in each other's company. Grace, grappling with the scars of her troubled past and the fears of her yet uncertain future, tries to find her way in the whipping gusts of life. Luca, dealing with the wounds of shattered relationships, broken dreams, and social isolation, has retracted into a world where he believes nobody can hurt him anymore.
When fate lets their paths cross, neither of them knows how much they will become the light in each other's darkness. Through shared moments of vulnerability and laughter, they begin to uncover the pieces of their broken hearts. From the serenity of Luca's farm to the bustling streets of Ashford, their journey is one of healing, discovery, and the budding hope that two wounded hearts can indeed find a way to heal together.
In a tale rich with emotional depth and intimate revelations, will a love thought to be lost forever reignite? Grace and Luca must confront their fears and decide if they can truly overcome the shadows of their past and regain trust in one another. Can they together find the courage to let go of what was and embrace what will be?

I hope your book does well.

Hello Everyone.
Avery Duffy here. As a way of introducing myself, I started writing during a blizzard so epic, even the squirrels were wearing hats. It was like a cosmic joke, trapping me in my house with a blank page. So, I filled it with words, and then I couldn’t stop.
Now, I’m addicted to the thrill of creating worlds and characters who often get into unpredictable predicaments. It’s like being the puppet master in a chaotic puppet show, but without the strings. When I write, often it is like a movie to me. Just like a reader, I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

Hi everyone!

My name is Elen Gait, and I’m excited (and a little nervous!) to share that I’ve just published my debut novel, Jade Strings. I’m new to this community and thrilled to connect with fellow book lovers.

Jade Strings is far from a typical love story. It follows two people who find each other in their dreams, sharing an inexplicable bond. When they finally meet in real life, the connection is undeniable, even though both are facing personal struggles and carrying emotional baggage. Despite their fears, they take a leap and start a relationship.

This is a story filled with emotional highs and lows, exploring the fragility of relationships, the courage it takes to open up to love, and the unexpected twists life can throw at you.

I’d love for a few readers to check it out and leave an honest review on Goodreads or Amazon. Your feedback would mean the world to me and help me grow as a writer.

If you're interested, feel free to reply to this post or send me a message, as I’m planning to launch a $0 promotion on Amazon soon. Thank you so much for considering, and I hope you enjoy Jade Strings!

Looking forward to hearing from you all and joining in the group discussions.

Best,

Hello everyone. I am Gary Feinstein, author of Under the Family Tree, by debut YA novel.

It's a funny and poignant story about a young girl’s transformative journey to find family after her mother is sentenced to four years in prison on drug charges. A coming of age tale, and a mystery that explores family secrets.

Before:

Living with a single mother who receives annual Christmas cards from the bartenders in town, high school sophomore Dakota Lodi is used to a bumpy ride in life. To cope, she retreats into her own universe. Dakotaworld. A place where you keep a low profile, obsess over your awesome music playlists, or hang out with your only friend, Rosie Peña. Sure, she makes a series of bad choices that gets her into trouble at school, but she can deal with that. Until her mother is sentenced to four years in prison on drug charges, and her world is shattered.

After:

Forced to live with her estranged grandmother, Dakota decides to search for the father she’s never known. With the help of Rosie, they track down her mother’s old friends, but most of them aren’t too stoked about reliving the past, especially when the girls unearth a cold-case homicide. Dakota suspects the case is related to her fathers story, but to learn the truth, she’ll have to keep digging. She’ll have to be smart, and think twice before doing anything reckless. She’ll have to become a new version of herself.

The book is available on Amazon or through my website:

A Book of Ancient Latin and Greek Poetry was discovered about the rightful heir to the Roman Monarch known as the Diverse Immortal Aphrodite who has lived in 1,000 thrones. She is here to restore her rightful name which is AphroditA (CAPITAL A), as well as to restore her monarchy and live in the light and truth of fate. As well as provide the real protection and crowning of the African monarch hidden for a time as this. But the Elder's want to see her fall in love to politically smear her true character and virtue, only this time she is here for truth. She Brings the Divine Revelations to life, restores her bloodline and The King of Kings. Only now the throne of heaven is up for grabs, and she must discern who is with her and who is against her. She must grant the rightful karma to her friends and her enemies. She must stay disciplined and loyal to her one true love, even though he is the one who betrayed her. And she must find a way to bring the truth to people living in darkness. Only now, she is no longer a favorite daughter of Zeus or a beloved Goddess because of the rebellion of who she loves, she is a poor, oppressed, young woman in the streets of West Virginia. Trying to awaken her royal court out of their deep slumber, only to find out her Royal court is what's betrayed her the most. She must face the reality of selfless love, or self love. Deciding whether she wants to keep her crown or bestow it to someone else, because with great power comes great responsibility, and great betrayal. She must teach the truth of love, and ignore the carnal delusions of her time. She must decide if her empire was worth all the pain, and decide if it shall stand or fall, in the new world. She must decide if tough love is true love. And if her gift "America" will be the fusion of all serpents or if everyone should just stay controlled and isolated. If humans should stay animalistic or be promoted to Titans. Ready to show who she truly was. The pearl of great price. So open the clam.

Whispers of the Smoky Mountain

Hello, we are Kenneth and Judy Nichols Fecteau, co-authors of the Following Forever Series. Book one is titled "There's No Such Thing as Never in Forever" and newly released book two is "The Last Streamers of Confetti on New Year's Eve." The Following Forever Series is an action packed, young adult/new adult fantasy series that follows the present and past lives of the four teen members of the rock band, The Mols.

In book one of the series, "There’s No Such Thing as Never in Forever," the four friends are adopted into The Mistook Native American Tribe. Under the guidance of Rosethorn, Shaman of the tribe, they go on a vision quest during which they must navigate their way through time to retrieve an ancient talisman, lost centuries ago by the tribe.

In book two, "The Last Streamers of Confetti on New Year's Eve," the teens realize that their vision quest is not over. Mandy and Lizzy are assigned to write a newspaper article about the Manchester Castle Hotel's upcoming one hundredth anniversary celebration set for New Year’s Day. They are aware of the hotel’s reputation for paranormal occurrences. It isn’t until their first night’s stay that they have “dreams” that lead them to believe that they are actually experiencing past lives in 1928 New Orleans. As they merge into their past-life incarnations, they find themselves crawling across rooftops by night, as gang-fighting vigilantes, and writing for the New Orleans Nitpicker newspaper by day.

MOLLY LIGHTFOOT and the TIME CRYSTAL by AJ WALSH

Hello Goodreads! I'm AJ Walsh author of the new YA fantasy/science fiction novel 'Molly Lightfoot and the Time Crystal'

I would love to get some honest reviews of my book, which is available on Amazon as a Kindle book (US $0.99 or on Kindle Unlimited) or as a paperback, available in most major markets.

I will shortly have a Kindle giveaway, so watch this space.

Here is a description of 'Molly Lightfoot and the Time Crystal' from the Amazon page:

*******************************************************************

Molly Lightfoot has plenty of things to worry about.
She’s just arrived on an alien planet inhabited by hostile and technologically primitive people – the Mannaz. Her race, the Theoi, just happen to look identical to them, for reasons she doesn’t know. And now, together with a select group of others, she has to spend seven years at a Mannaz school, without telling anyone she’s an alien.
It’s all part of a mysterious plan by the overbearing leaders of the Theoi – the Secretariat – who she feels are constantly watching her every move, and trying to steal a strange crystal that was a gift from her grand guardians.
Together with new friends Fortuna and Niko, Molly embarks on the adventure of a lifetime at Kingswood High School, nestled in the alpine town of Excelsior.
There’s just a couple of minor problems…the God of Death and Renewal is trying to kill her…
And that alien planet she landed on – it’s called Earth…

Through a unique mix of strange and familiar worlds, Molly Lightfoot and the Time Crystal practically overflows with adventure, mystery, fascinating characters, incredible creatures and, not to mention, an undeniably almighty plot twist. This is a book that will appeal to parents looking for an exciting story to read to their children, or teenagers eager to delve into a captivating new universe. Follow along as Molly and her peers navigate both friendships and adversaries, as they explore the wonders of planet Earth, for the very first time.

Molly Lightfoot and the Time CrystalA.J. Walsh

Dear young adult book-lovers!

I am looking for brave people who dare to read something that is new and "out-of-the-box", and give honest reviews!
ALB I: STORY OF EURA is a blend of Science fiction and Fantasy, a tale about machines, magic, fear, power, love and revenge.

If you (like me) love stuff like Dune, the arthurian legends or the Dark Tower series, if you like to engage with wild ideas, this book might be a great read for you!
So nice to connect on here, and have a great day everybody!


“Destiny,” it whispered in a voice as fleeting as morning dew. “It’s coming for you, Eura. It’s coming, and nothing can stop it.”

Eura is just a child when she is taken by the “Basilisk”, an ominous creature of immense power who has dominion over the galaxy.
Growing up in his world of unchecked might and nonexistent consequences, Eura finds herself increasingly tormented by strange, recurring nightmares, unresolved doubts and a dark prophecy.
One day, the unimaginable happens—something not even the Basilisk can stop.
And a tumultuous quest for magic, love and power unfolds—in a faraway land, where Camelot Castle stands enthroned on Mount Avaloss, and long-buried secrets are waiting to be woken…

ALB I: STORY OF EURA

Hi,
I'm B.L. Mostyn, a brand-new YA Fantasy indie author. I'm so brand new that my book doesn't release to print until 5/13. Which is the same day I'm having a VIRTUAL LAUNCH PARTY!

5/13 7-8 pm EST, free to sign up, http://blmostyn.com/launch. Join for free giveaways, fun Q&A with multiple authors, signature cocktail (one for 21+, one for -21), a preview reading, and more.

This is the book I'll be launching: YA Epic Fantasy - chosen-one, blind seer, family-ties, etc. - Heroes of Another Age: A Guardian Prequel
Description:
If you were asked to save a distant city from an unknown, all-consuming darkness―that will almost certainly kill you―it'd kind of make you wonder: who would want to be a hero?
Aaron loves the life he's got. It's just him, his twin brother Aton, and their mother living atop a picturesque mountaintop, herding sheep, and hiding the fact that they're all werewolves. The humans down below don't care much for shifters, and they'd like Aaron even less if they knew he also had magical powers. But as long as they stay hidden, they're safe.

After a tragic accident, Aaron and Aton learn of a looming catastrophe in the east―and that it's their destiny to stop it. Aton is eager to embrace the call to adventure. He's always been the stronger, braver brother. But Aaron isn't so sure.

Trekking through snow-covered mountains and shadowy forests filled with vicious, unrelenting demons, Aaron begins to question if he'll even survive the journey―let alone face the sinister force that awaits.

Can Aaron's fledgling magic and Aton's warrior strength stand against the darkness? Or will they be swallowed by it? Fate may have chosen them―but when dragons and gods enter the fray, how can two brothers hope to defy destiny?

If you enjoy His Dark Materials, you won't want to miss Heroes of Another Age by B.L. Mostyn―an epic fantasy full of magic, monsters, and myth.

Hey everyone! I’m Rayya Deeb, author of The Seneca Society, a YA sci-fi trilogy that blends fast-paced rebellion with high-tech secrets and moral complexity. Seneca Rebel & Seneca Element are available on Amazon, and The Seneca Society website has freebie pages as well. Seneca Evolution releases 5/5/25!

In Book 1, Seneca Rebel, 16-year-old Doro Campbell—a quantum math prodigy and code hacker—gets recruited to an elite underground society promising to change the world... if she’s willing to give up everything above ground, including her mom.

It’s a tech-thriller meets coming-of-age journey with strong female characters, ethical twists, and just enough romance and danger to keep things tense.

Perfect for fans of Marie Lu, Neal Shusterman, or The 5th Wave — I’d love for you to check it out, and if you do, I’d be so grateful for your thoughts or a review!
