ARC sign-ups now open this week! Elemental Battleground releases Aug 2!

Jun 22, 2024 4:01 am

Hi friends,

I'm getting really excited!

Elemental Battleground, the 700+ page book 3 in my Shieldwall Academy series is coming to Amazon on August 2nd! (How is June almost over already?)

That means I have free advanced review copies (ARC) for any of my newsletter fans who are willing to flag mistakes and post an honest review in time for the release.

Do you wonder why I give the early books out for free?

First, you've been such a wonderful support to me, so I like to do something nice.

Second, having reviews on launch day can really help readers take a chance on a new book. Have you ever browsed and seen a brand new book with zero reviews? It can make you hesitate, right?

So, if you'd like to receive an ARC copy in the next few weeks, just reply from the email you'd like the ARC ebook delivered to.

(Note: Anyone already on my ARC list who has received the previous books in the series will automatically get the offer of this book.)

Scroll down to read the details about Elemental Battleground to see if it's something you're interested in.

But first, check out today's offers. Each of your clicks (not purchases) helps the newsletter, so please check them out:

Misty's Writing Update:

Elemental Battleground - Book 3

Here's the current blurb for the new book (feel free to offer suggestions!!)

_________

Ancient ruins and forbidden treasures. Cunning enemies and close knit allies. One student team on an expedition facing numberless hordes.

Pax, the audacious street rat turned mage, leads his eclectic crew into the heart of the Northern Purge—a wilderness expedition teeming with monsters and political adversaries. They develop their forbidden elemental powers in a race to gain power before their adversaries can destroy them.

A frantic search unearths the ancient light mage headquarters, a trove full of treasures and fraught with dangers. With enemies close behind them, Pax and his team, aided by a growing cadre of loyal pets, plunge into the heart of the hidden mysteries. Racing against time, they solve intricate puzzles, enlist allies, and confront guardians protecting the vital secrets and prizes they need to survive.

Elemental Battleground is an adventure full of battles, concealed riches, and a building rebellion against a teetering empire. Pax has to stay ahead of his enemies if he wants to triumph. Can he and his friends gain power fast enough? Will the faltering and corrupt empire destroy him, or will the revolution in its midst succeed first? Time is running out.

With over 1.5 million Royal Road views and counting, this epic LitRPG series is a must-read for fans of action-packed fantasy. Dive into a world of magic, mystery, and rebellion today!

Each book is 750+ pages and 20+ hours of Whispersync audio - click to delve into the saga!
