somewhat vampiric

🪲 beta reader search 🪲

In The Scholar & The Unbound (92k words long, romantic fantasy), a magicless scholar and a wayward paladin pair together to brave an arduous religious competition. You can expect:

a brilliant, grumpy scholar who lost his magic

a charming paladin with more power than he can control

a soul-bond that will allow them to share magic (and bind them closer than they bargained for)

a weird little girl possessed by a violent creature

a surrogate father/daughter relationship

pining men who need to learn to trust each other (and themselves)

healing, hurt/comfort, all the feels

a dangerous magical competition

a magic system that transforms the laws of physics

a critique of the elitism and colonialism of academia

Interested? Being a beta reader means reading the draft and filling in three feedback forms over the course of your reading. It’s not about fixing spelling mistakes, just telling me what you thought of the story. :) I don’t have a firm deadline, but I would like this to take about a month, two at most.
