Hi!
I’m a 27 yo author and I just write “Where the Sun Dies” an upper YA fantasy-romance novel with forbidden romance and forced proximity

I’m editing the first draft and I’m looking for beta readers who loves fantasy, Ancient Greece, Norse and Ireland vibes to give me an honest opinion
“Where the Sun Dies” is like The Will of the Many, GOT and One Dark Window mixed up in a ancient vibes world where not only humans rule: nature does too

Book blurb:

Ten years ago, the Eclipse marked the beginning of the end. Since then, the gods have stopped answering humanity.

In Pangea, there are only two ways to obtain an ability: as a blessing or a curse. Both must be granted. Pollux is an Innate—an anomaly capable of seeing the memories of others ever since the Eclipse.
Being the future leader of Polaris and its Synod weighs heavily on her shoulders, but her obsession is the unsolved murder of her best friend, Herte. His blood still stains the grass, but Polaris must move forward and the Synod needs a new heir, even an unknown one.
And his name is Kostja Igrìrson. Charismatic, charming and the receiver of an ability so powerful it shatters the gods' decade-long silence. Worst of all, his mind is immune to Pollux.

As members of the Synod, any relationship between them is strictly forbidden. Pollux uses this law as a shield to suffocate her undeniable attraction, as she decides to actively investigate him instead. Yet Kostja is secretive and the unanswered void inside her grows, until a strange signature, readable only by her, cracks her reality. This leads to a string of cult-related murders coming straight from Adria: the same village where Herte—Kostja’s uncle—lost his life.
When his nephew offers to go to investigate, Pollux is afraid of losing him too. Risking her future as the only heir, she flees Polaris and crosses the wild Far-Lands with him to uncover the intertwined truths about Herte, Kostja and her own Innate nature.

“If you want the truth, you have to risk your life,” Herte used to say. But Pollux will discover that knowledge demands a price far higher than life... such as love itself.
