✨Vengeance - Forgotten Prophecy: Book One⭐️
https://mybook.to/kaelci
Her family was murdered; all that she's known, destroyed. An ancient curse has rebirthed and Lyria is the sole survivor of its deadly wake.
Borne of an illegal bloodline, she must now build a new life in Lord Andru’s city without divulging her secret — a magic that serves as both gift and curse. However, Lyria is soon caught up in her Lord's dogmatic beliefs and becomes embroiled within the deeper politics that guide their world.
Despite her desire to live a normal life, her hand is destined to shape the future… for better or for worse.
This is a story that has taken eight years to write -- a novel-length prologue that sets the stage for a tale that's lived for over twenty years in my imagination, evolving and bettering itself each and every day I spend obsessing over it.
Come follow Lyria as she navigates her way through horrors and torments no young woman should suffer through, and understand how magic soon becomes sovereign over a world that holds no inkling of the consequences that may yet come.
Despite her desire to live a normal life, Lyria's hand is destined to shape the future… for better or for worse.
Today twelve pre-ordered copies left the void and have found their way into the digital hands of twelve readers. Twelve is amazing. I was only expecting maybe three or four people to pre-order, and to see twelve instead is just fantastic!
For anyone curious about how Amazon pre-orders work, from my perspective at least it seems as though the release has been staggered throughout the day. I woke up this morning to see four copies had been released, then a couple of hours later another was let free, and so on and so forth.
One of the main things I was looking forward to was seeing if pre-orders did indeed have an impact on Amazon rankings, and if they actually count as Day One Sales. I would like to say that the answer is, "yes."
This book is currently only available on Amazon, and is available free for Kindle Unlimited subscribers. If you are a subscriber I would love it so much if you could grab yourself a free copy! And leave a review when you're finished. Even a 1 star review and, "I hated this garbage," is better than silence. It costs you nothing and whether you loved it or loathed it, it means the world to me.
In January this book will be available on other outlets such as Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple, and other assorted retailers, as well as a physical copy for those who would prefer a book upon their shelf rather than a digital file. 😊
If it wasn't for my being on Steem, being a part of this community (and then swarming to Hive) this book would never have been finished. I would never have had the confidence and motivation to write through my tears and finish this thing, furthermore it would not have been as polished, edited, and chopped-and-sliced as it is now. The darlings would not have been murdered.
I firmly attribute my being here to my success as a published author, even if a very unknown indie one. 🙃
Thank you for reading,
Thank you for being a part of my journey!

Wow!!!! Eight years? I am so happy for you :)
This must be huge for you!
My best wishes for millions of sales and maybe one day I can say that I knew a well known writer before she even wrote her first book :)
Thank you!! 😊
It's taken eight years to write, and it's been in my head for close to 22, haha! A very long time. So glad I finally have the courage to get it out there.
😄
Oh sweet! Congratulations on releasing your book!
I expected the exclusivity deal to be much longer, I am very happy that I will have a chance to put it on my e-reader in the coming months!
Cheers! 😁😃
Nah, it's just exclusive to Amazon for a few months. 🙂 The main reason was for the Kindle Unlimited peoples, hoping to draw them in, read it, possibly recommend it to others, maybe get one review out of it, then go forth to everywhere else armed with my one review, lol!
Congratulations! Very proud of you. I know how hard you worked to get this book written. Excited to see how the rest of the series comes out.
Thanks! 😊🙂
Book Two will be next, hoping at around the same time but next year, September! It should be perfeccttt by then.
I wish your good success. You are looking too sweet.
Thank you for your wishes! 😊
I would say congratulations my dear friend, 8 years is such a long time and my goodness, the patience and the perseverance thus far. It's quite a thrilling story from the summary I read and once again congratulations
Thank you so much 😄
It was quite the journey. There were a few times I almost gave up. Thinking, "Why should I even bother? No-one else will even care," but I stuck through and it's finally done! 💃
I just realized that you delegated me 40 sp, and the truth is I don't know how to thank you, tell me how to do it and without a doubt I will.
Hey! :) It's all good. I just saw your gaming post and liked it, saw that you didn't have much power so delegated you some so you could interact a bit more on Hive.
No need to offer any thanks! :D
Well, of course ..... you already have a follower for life :-))
Woohoo! Finally! Congrats!
Thank you!! 😁😁😁
Congrats again @kaelci! 🎉🎊
