Reviewers needed for a divinely twisted Dystopian romantic adventure.

[S.K.]

Hi there! Just a little about me, I'm an Aussie author (this is one of the few that is not set in Australia) I have published 20 fantasy/paranormal novels since 2013, in addition to producing two original plays and am currently writing a collection of local haunting stories. I have a devoted (albeit very small) fan base and there are 44,000 copies of my books getting around out there. They're not all perfect- a few typos fall through the cracks but I'm told that the storylines make it worth it. My biggest thing is plot twists- if you're sick of predictable storylines, please pick me!

Now... I'm looking for reviewers that are open-minded and hard to offend :)

The reason why I've prefaced my request with this stipulation is because I would hate for someone to take the time to read this in order to do a good deed, only to be offended by some of the anti-religious sentiments. Don't misunderstand this book is NOT about hating God, not at all, it's about the crimes people commit in his name without his approval.

The Given Garden is Book #1 in the dystopian series, The Eden Chronicles (there are currently 4 parts and a 5th on the way), and is set six hundred years after Armageddon, where Utopia is the goal, but chaos is the result. To sum up, God all but destroyed the earth while furious with Satan and the influence she'd (yup, she) had on humanity, but one of his archangels begged for mankind to be given a second chance and so God left him in charge, to be king to those that survived the apocalypse. 600 years later, his nephilim ancestors are still in charge worldwide.
It is universally accepted that there is only one God, and those that do not obey his commands live outside of the various kingdom's fences so everyone within them gets along.
The Barchiel Kings have always been 'mostly' good, but they have one fatal flaw, and it's their sexuality. In order to keep their bloodlines clean and to make sure that they do not undertake marriage lightly, they are granted a harem full of courtesans to grow up with under the title of 'Companions' who act as 'Companions' to them from the age of 16 until the princes/kings decide to marry. Then they are released into the world as goddesses, and as the only women that are legally allowed to trade their bodies for wealth and status. This keeps the royal bloodline happy and sated, and guaruntees that prostitutes are respected, healthy, wealthy and very tightly controlled.

It's a near perfect system, however, the way they go about recruiting girls is not so nice. In Arcadia, it is illegal to have more than two children, so all third-born girls that turn 5 the same year as the princes do are taken from their families, presented to the young prince. If he chooses them to stay, they are sent to live in the palace, where they are raised as playmates for the lonely princes- but not told the truth to their calling until they are thirteen. Needless to say, some don't take it well, and Larkin Whittaker, the heroine, takes it very, VERY badly.

And so it begins :) The story starts when Larkin is 5, and by now (Book 4 just published) she's 19.

I know this is a VERY long synopsis however, when you're talking agnostic literature with hot sex and Satan, you need to put a bit of a disclaimer out there, no? I don't think of it as erotic writing at all I am very much a story-teller however, when I do a sex scene, I do it right.

I haven't had a whole lot of time to promote this book, but it's gotten incredible feedback and I'd love to see it get the attention it deserves- if you'd like to check out the reviews I have you'll see they're mostly 5 star and no they're not my friends and family reading them- most of my family is banned from this particular series. It's not for the faint-hearted and it's not short and sweet, this is definitely an epic and one I'm assured is well worth the time, especially for lovers of Dystopian books that are after something that's a little more grown up. One author said it was like a cross between Memoirs Of A Geisha and The Selection so if you like those kinds of stories, I'd love to know what you think.

I'm looking for 5-10 reviewers who would like to receive a Kindle copy. If you like the book and would like to go on to read it, I will send you the next installements.

If you're still redaing by this long-ass point of my ramblings, we might just be compatible ;)

Here's the official synopsis

They told us that this new world was perfect
They told us that we were all equal under the eyes of the only God
They told me that I was nothing
He told me that he would protect me
They swear that I can trust them
I don't
How can I believe in something, in a world where faith isn't optional?

The Given Garden is Book #1 in the dystopian series, The Eden Chronicles, and is set six hundred years after Armageddon, where Utopia is the goal, but chaos is the result. Larkin had no choice to be an illegal third-born child, so does that mean that she should give her life to the crown in penance? And if so, can trust that she will find a friend in Prince Kohen Barachiel, and not a Nephilim master? The kingdom is in his family's hands, her life in his, the clock is ticking until God's return, and Satan is watching, waiting for her moment to strike back against the alpha males of the royal faily.
It's angels versus demons in this post-apocalyptic fairy tale that is sentimental, sensual and exciting.
