I am in the editing stage of my first novel, Cornerstone. It is book one of a planned trilogy set amidst three medieval kingdoms at war. Cornerstone is complete at approximately 85,000 words. I am looking for 3 or 4 beta readers.
Emariya Warren is a medieval heiress living in the smallest and weakest of three kingdoms at war. But when she learns that her missing father has been in prison for the last three years, Emariya must travel to one of the neighboring kingdoms and marry Prince Torian Ahlen in order to procure aid for her kingdom in both the war, and in her plight to rescue her father. Throughout her journey she learns that mysterious gifts were bestowed upon the prominent family of each of the three kingdoms. More alarmingly she is told that it has been foretold that if the three families bloodlines should ever merge into one, it would bring great despair to all their lands.
“Souls of the stones, their sights we bear Sounds of the stones, their secrets we share Will of the soil blood will flow should three stones one ever know
What once were one split thrice Over whispers and sights Soil prevails, behold its might Blood and stones as one brings darkest night”
Emariya, already a child of two of the bloodlines, is what is known as a second stone. Marrying Torian would bind the three bloodlines, enabling unknown consequences. She is faced with a desperate choice of deciding whether to continue toward marrying the prince in the hopes she can save her father, even knowing that his goal might have been to bind the lines all along or to try and find another way.
If you think that this sounds like a story you would be interesting in reading please send me a message. In return for a copy( digital ) of my manuscript in your chosen format - .doc, epub, pdf or .mobi you will agree to not share it with anyone else as well as provide me honest feedback.
If you do not think you can get to this project within the next week, please do not volunteer. Thank you so much!
Added disclaimer - my book includes mild language ( i think 3 or 4 curse words total ) as well as an implied sexual encounter. If you are uncomfortable with this then this project isn't for you. Kelly Walker
