Marni (wonderwmn999) The group has been approached by author Heidi Garrett for a Read 4 Review of her book The Flower of Isbelline (Queen of the Realm of Faerie #2) by Heidi Garrett The Flower of Isbelline (Queen of the Realm of Faerie #2) .

The Queen of the Realm of Faerie is a fairy tale fantasy series for young and new adults that bridges the Mortal and Enchanted worlds. The main character, Melia, is an eighteen-year-old half-faerie, half-mortal. She lives in Illialei, a country in the Enchanted World, with her two sisters and their mother. Melia's father has been exiled to the Mortal World, and her best friend is a pixie.

When the story opens in the first book, Nandana's Mark, Melia is troubled by her dark moon visions, gossip she overhears about her parents at the local market, and the trauma of living among full-blooded faeries with wings she doesn't have any.

As the series unfolds in The Flower of Isbelline, the historic and mystical forces that shape Melia's life are revealed. Each step of her journey to find the place where she belongs alters her perceptions about herself, deepens her relationships with others, and enlarges her world view.

The series is inspired by the 14th century French fairytale, Melusine. And the third book in the series, The Dragon Carnivale, is scheduled to be released on June 18, 2013.

Nandana's Mark is currently free at:

The author will be giving out 10 copies in epub, mobi and PDF formats via email. To request, please post your email address AND the format you would like. It is your responsibility to check for the book and download it. It is also your responsibility to contact me immediately if you do not receive the book or have a problem. In exchange for the free book, the author requests an honest review of her book not just on Goodreads, but also on Amazon USA, UK, and any of your blogs or reviewing sites. Once you are finished with your review and have posted it on Goodreads, you are REQUIRED to post your Goodreads link to it on this thread.


Even though this book is being gifted to you please do not share it with anyone. It is unethical, disrespectful and illegal to share books provided to you for reviews.

Further Info from the group, not the author: If you do not complete the e-book within the time given, and you do not post your link on this thread or I do not hear from you stating that you intend to finish and review the book, you will not be allowed to participate in future Read 4 Review events. This is to prevent people from getting complimentary books over and over without fulfilling their obligation.

Do not message me nor the author requesting the book. All info is to be posted here. This for the ease of the author and the mods and fairness to all. If you do not wish to share your email publicly, please do not request.

If there are any other authors looking to do this with our group, please message me. You MUST be willing to provide copies, free of charge, to the reviewers.

REVIEWERS: PLEASE read the topic titled "Reviewers." All the rules are listed under there. We will not allow any excuses of "I didn't know" because the rules are listed and if you have any questions you can always message me. http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Brenda, Thank you! My only though is there is no spoiler alert option on the other sites:( Maybe I could post an excerpt from of your reviews in the Editorial Reviewssection?
Heidi
Also, thank you for voting on the poll!

Heidi Garrett (heidi_g) To everyone who's signed up for the R4R: We have designed a new cover for The Flower of Isbelline and according to a poll, it is much preferred over the current one. We intend to have all the books (and Goodreads) updated by the end of next week and I'll send the updated books out to everyone so you can have a copy with the beautiful new cover! Thanks, Heidi


Brenda (brendareads) | 151 comments Marni: will do once I get home!
Heidi: I try to avoid most spoilers. I can omit parts of it though, no big deal!
And thank you, I can't wait. :)
