Day in the life! I've had a bit of a hell week so I busted out an old prompt.
Blurb Reveal: The Curse of Broken Shadows
THE PREORDER IS LIVE. TCOBS is going to be a BRICK of a book coming October 5 (yes, it is still going to be on Kindle Vella but the book will have some bonus scenes and will be, you know, a book). You can grab the preorder here! While you wait for this awesomeness, check out the BLURB AND GORGEOUS COVER for the epic and dark romantic fantasy.
An assassin, a powerful dagger, and a magic that shouldn’t exist.
Shadow magic is extinct. The Veil Worshippers who honor the shadow god’s wall are hunted for their artifacts, including the Veil shards that break off the wall in Valisea.
Brela vows to steal it all back. With the dagger of her people and a Veil shard embedded in her collarbone that has infected her with shadow-cursed magic, she is determined to keep her secrets or suffer a fate worse than death. That was a lot easier when the uptight and infuriatingly handsome Captain Cason Valkip wasn’t hunting her.
Cason has spent his entire life hiding—from the raids on Valisea, from his emotions, and from his multiple gods-blessed magics that everyone is afraid of… everyone except Brela. The chaotic, non-magic wielding assassin who drives him insane is also the only person who has never looked at his tainted magic without any ounce of fear. Which is why being forced to work with her to discover the source of the breaking wall sets his already uncontrollable fire magic ablaze.
With tension growing in the remaining kingdoms and mythical beasts threatening her at every turn, Brela’s secrets might not remain hidden for much longer. To survive, she will have to work with the one man who could burn her.
Because if shadow hell is released, no one will be safe.
ARC List + TCOBS review requirements
If you're interested in getting free copies of books in exchange for honest reviews, please join my list here! You can start reviewing The Stolen Lives, Star Collapsed, and Soul Forgotten - and if you email me a screenshot of those reviews from Amazon, I'll send you the next book in the series in exchange for another honest review!
Stay tuned for an update on becoming an ARC reader for The Curse of Broken Shadows. One of the requirements for getting an ARC copy of this book is going to be reviewing one of the books above and posting that review on AMAZON. Release date of Oct 5 so I'm looking for those who have the time to read and post the review ON/BY THAT DATE. If you're interested in TCOBS, this is a good reminder to get a review posted for one of the books above.

Outro:
It's been a hell of a week. I've got to be out of town again this weekend for some personal stuff so I'm struggling to figure out what to put in this outro. Hope all is well with you.
