Hello all! I'm looking for reviewers for the first book in my fantasy series, Heirs of War. I distribute free copies to reviewers through Smashwords and request that all reviews be completed within four weeks and posted on at least Goodreads and Amazon, though I do welcome other sites as well. =) If you are interested, please send me an email (maravalderran@gmail) with the title "Review for Heirs of War" so I can keep up with it. I'll then send you the code.

Here's the blurb:
Seventeen year-old Zelene has never believed in magic or been one to trust fate. Prophecies about princesses and long lost families were the stuff of fairy tales and had no place in her life. But then magic-wielding assassins attack claiming she is one of the five Duillaine Ainnir, the next generation of the most powerful women who rule over the worlds. Together, the five girls are prophesized to save the worlds from the war that has been raging for years.

As their enemies strike, the girls are taken back to their world and discover the ties binding them together. Rhaya has always had an uncanny knack for reading people, but can’t seem to unravel the mystery tying her to Isauria, the new friend she bonded with instantly. For years, Isauria has been dreaming of Terrena, a girl living her life on the run in a magical world ripped apart by the tragedies of war, but Isauria is completely unaware that she is psychically linked to the world she was born in.

Zelene views them all, especially the elders, with a distrustful eye, familial bonds or no. When she learns that her long-lost twin Ariana has been captured by the rebels, Zelene’s attitude changes. She doesn’t know what she can do when her own magic is still locked within her, but can she trust the elders to rescue Ariana when it seems their medieval politics are what brought about the war in the first place? With all that is at stake, the answer becomes clear to Zelene.

Screw the worlds. She’s getting her sister back.

I just finished KIYA: Mother of a King, which is the second book in the KIYA series. It was fantastic. I'm usually not big on historical literature, but the author really pulls you in. Loved it even more than the first book. :) Now I'm on First of Her Kind ~ A Darkness & Light Novel. Only a few chapters in, but I'm already hooked. Are you guys participating in any reading challenges as well this year?
