Free Preview of New Magical Fantasy Novel for Young Adults

Clare from Pirongia - Karamu

Help an emerging New Zealand author launch his first ebook, a young adult's magical fantasy. If you love action with attitude, rivalry and resourcefulness, take a look at the free preview of the first two chapters here: jonathanbrittenwriting.com....
We're also looking for people to review the whole book for us, so let us know if you'd be interested.

The blurb for the book is: The enemies of the icy Northern World have at last been defeated and the kingdom is slowly and reluctantly transitioning from a military based society to one where merchant traders are assuming importance. But from out of the snow comes an infernal figure, the Masked King, a pyromancer who desires nothing less than the destruction of the entire Northern World. Hyranmirine, the young daughter of a leading warrior family, learns of this powerful enemy and resolves to slay him to prove herself, but with hundreds of warriors and a far more worthy hero competing against her, how can she vanquish this creature with virtually no skill to her name? By an incredible fluke, a wizard pledges his assistance, but things go awry for Hyranmirine in more ways than one when he turns out to be arguably the most deceitful and dissolute wizard in existence.
