Daniel Hi! This post is my request for ARC readers for my first novel. I'm hoping to get feedback, honest reviews and a general idea of how people feel about the story.
Book One in The Hound of the Gods Contemporary Fantasy series.
War Dog
Drustan Seta spent his life fighting cryptids out of myths and legends. What that got him was PTSD, huge gaps in his memory, and an addiction to pain pills. When his only friend Frank goes missing, he believes that finding him might pull him out of his downward spiral. Instead, he gets sucked into a war between two factions bent on bringing back the old Gods and the magic they make possible. If either side prevails, it could mean the end of the world.
War Dog will appeal to readers who love the rich complexity of fairy tales, world mythologies, cryptids, fast-paced plots, and subverted tropes. Readers looking for main characters who simply are LGBTQIA +, physically challenged, or otherwise not part of the able-bodied, white, heteronormative masses will enjoy the diversity of the characters as the series progresses.
My influences as a writer include the usual suspects such as Dresden Files and Iron Druid, but I also find inspiration in The Sixth World Series by Rebecca Roanhorse, The Magicium series by T.N. Baldwin, and The Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko.
I'm giving a free epub or pdf to anyone who wants to be an ARC reader for me. This is my first novel, so I don't see any reason to say no to anyone who wants a copy and is willing to give me feedback, reviews, or whatever you'd like to volunteer to help me become a better writer. Thanks!
