Today on The Curse of Broken Shadows : Episode 15 - The Belly of the Beast

• Fun banter between Serill, Cason, and Boelyn
• Cason - "the living embodiment of flame" - being grumpy and leaning on pillars all night
• Brela in her gorgeous dress inspired by these photos, which is hilarious because my blog post this week features hobo-outfit inspired songs
• Veil artifacts, like a flour container that is grossly overpriced and labeled as a godly shrine

TCOBS is still a top faved story in fantasy, epic fantasy, dark fantasy, magic, sword and sorcery, and enemies to lovers!

Here's the deal - you can read the first three episodes for free, and after that, you use tokens to unlock episodes. The awesome bonus? Amazon is giving out 200 free tokens for anyone looking at Vella stories! Which means you can use those freebies to continue reading TCOBS.

My posting schedule changed slightly and is going to be Wednesdays, then Monday/Friday the following week, and back to Wednesday. You get the picture.

Come join me on Discord and distract me - I've got more details on the books and you can ask all your questions.

Here's another review:

5 STARS

Great start

I've only read the first few episodes, but what an excellent start to the story! I freaking love it! The world is very intriguing and the characters are all interesting. The writing is pretty fantastic as well if I do say so myself. I will definitely be continuing this story! I would highly recommend this!

New on the blog

Playlists for my Blue Star series are a MUST. I'm digging into a few of my favorites from Soul Remembered, book 2 in the Soul Trilogy, and some behind the scenes details as to what inspired them. This also includes a story about one of my friends telling me I looked like a hobo... it was a fun time.

WIP - The Curse of Broken Shadows

The Crystal Desert might be one of my favorite chapters so far in this book (and yes, it's possible I say that about every chapter in this book).

He watched a gust of wind pick up, sending a tendril of sand twirling around Brela who bristled at the contact. As it settled, she darted a look at him over her shoulder and inclined her head, inviting him closer.

Cason moved his horse alongside hers. “You look like you’re trying to figure out how to slice wind.”

Her lips twitched slightly, but she only asked, “What do you feel?”

“Sweaty and annoyed that sand has found its way into every nook of my body,” he joked, but he knew what she was really asking. “It feels… odd.” To anyone else, he’d sound like a lunatic explaining what being out here felt like to his perception affinity, but he knew Brela would listen. “It’s like my magic is at war with itself. Dulled from you, but flaring as if the sand itself is—“

“Alive?”

He blinked, if only to realize that she’d put into terms what he doubted anyone else would have understood.
