Hi E.J.,I know you posted this a week ago but I would be interested in a swap :) Below is my blurb. My email address is 12SignHolders@gmail.com.
Sixteen-year-old Waken never wanted to be a danger to his family, but it wasn’t like he had a choice. Not after that night in the woods when he grabbed the ring—the one that belonged to a DeSindent, his sworn enemy. Ever since, he’s been plagued with thoughts of killing his own kind, Sign Holders, those gifted with supernatural powers from their Zodiac Signs. As Waken desperately searches for a way to keep his loved ones safe, he realizes the answer he needs could very well come from the mysterious Rose, a transfer student who seems to be harboring a terrible curse of her own.
Reeling from the recent loss of her brother, Rose is still getting used to life at her new school. However, everything feels a little easier once she meets Waken, the guy from her English class. That is until she sees him shooting fire out of his hands in the middle of the woods and is forced to run for her life. Confused, scared, and caught between an endless war she never knew existed, Rose agrees to keep Waken’s identity a secret. But she doesn’t count on a DeSindent tracking her down and threatening to kill her only remaining sibling unless she becomes a spy against Waken.
Somehow Waken and Rose must learn how to trust one another and work together to defeat their common enemy before both of their families are destroyed. But when Waken is finally presented with the opportunity to stop his killer instincts, he is faced with a dilemma he never saw coming. There is just one cure to break the curse. And he’s not the only one who needs it.
Regards,
Leah
Hi Leah,Thanks so much for reaching out! I have two other swaps on the go right now, but if my schedule is open once I finish those, I will let you know.
Best,
Emma


I am absolutely open to different genres but am not interested in anything that includes erotic scenes or excessive profanity and would prefer something in the following genres: YA, middle grade, fantasy, historical, mystery, thriller, or inspirational romance.
As a side note, I prefer to use google docs for beta reading.
Here is the blurb for my book:
MIRACLE OR MISTAKE?
Aliyah Serin is extraordinary. She was born with the unique ability to control two of the five elements in a society where each individual is limited to one element—fire, water, earth, air, or aether. If that isn’t enough for the newspapers to gossip about, she’s also an orphan—her parents were murdered and the killer was never found.
One day, a frightening incident causes Aliyah to be sent to Petrovis School for Young Elementalists. Her Uncle Leo hopes that she will be kept safe and out of trouble at Petrovis, but he couldn’t have been more wrong. Aliyah discovers a network of hidden passageways within the school that she believes are meant to protect the mysterious and powerful artifact known as the Boz of Zenas. But she isn’t the only one who knows about the box. Someone else is after it, and with the help of her friends and the ghost of her great-great-great uncle, Aliyah must race to find the box before her opponent does. In the wrong hands, it could give someone the power to do terrible things, or even spell the doom of the whole Elmentalist society.
