The Faery Ring

by Samuel DenHartog

In a world teeming with secrets and magic, a young thief named Lyric must navigate the harsh realities of survival while uncovering her own hidden strength. Abandoned by fate and hardened by years on the streets, she never expected a silver ring to change her life forever. But this isn’t just any ring—it holds within it an ancient faery bound by magic and steeped in mysteries of her own. Together, they form an unlikely bond, bound by necessity and a shared resilience against the forces determined to crush them.

Pursued by a malevolent lord with dark intentions, Lyric is thrust into a journey that will test her in unimaginable ways. From the shadowed alleys of her familiar city to uncharted islands brimming with danger, she must confront not only the enemies around her but the demons within. As storms rage and adversaries close in, she begins to uncover the deeper truths about the magical world she’s only begun to understand—and the power she never knew she held.

Rich in adventure and brimming with wonder, this tale is a vivid tapestry of peril, courage, and the unexpected friendships that can grow even in the unlikeliest of places. Lyric’s journey is a gripping odyssey of survival and self-discovery, where every choice has the power to shape her destiny. Will she outwit those who seek to control her, or will the weight of her past and the magic of the ring prove too much to bear? Readers will be captivated by a story that blends danger and enchantment in a tale of hope, resilience, and the unyielding spirit of a young lady destined for more than she could ever imagine.

Just once, I'd like to see a review from someone that says, "I knew this was A.I.-generated when I picked it up, and I read it anyway and genuinely enjoyed it," for any of this prompt-typer's books.

I'm genuinely curious, if all of the book descriptions and Facebook posts and advertisements and author bio clearly said, "I used A.I. to create this and all my books," how that would affect the number of downloads?

Is it possible that he doesn't admit the A.I. use, despite how painfully obvious it is to anyone with the slightest awareness about such things, because then . . . people wouldn't read them?

There's only one way to find out.

This book! The imagery in this book is by far the best. I could literally picture myself in the market, in the town, out in the field alongside Lyric. The Writer has done an amazing job with this aspect. The storyline flowed well. It was not a gripping thriller like I usually read. But I definitely enjoyed this book. I will read the next book in the series soon.

It was a cute story with good story building, but it was not for me. It didn’t really pull me in. It was hard to keep the attention on it, to finish it. Like most story’s, that are the first book in a series. It took about 60% of the way through it before it started to get good. Lyric is put through many trails to find her way in life. There’s some romance but I wouldn’t call this a romance book as they’re fleeting moments, that doesn’t impact the story much. Lyric is a lone wolf and prefers a life of that and justice. I am just more of a true romance and this wasn’t it for me. So if you like a strong FMC that doesn’t need anyone. Then this is for you!

the title is slightly deceiving

wht i loved was the plot. it was fun.
wht i hated was the fact tht there is a VERY GLARING PLOT HOLE. and it was nvr rectified. a faery and a dragon. thieves and deep amount of trauma for main character.

I didn’t love this book but I certainly didn’t hate it either. The over writing of certain parts of the book just made it bleh to get through. I didn’t realize there were so many ways to talk about how hungry someone was 😂
