Prelude of Fire: The Gailean Quartet, Book 1

Hello there!! I'm an author of a YA epic fantasy series. Previously published, but I had to leave the publisher last year due to an unfortunate negative experience. So, like my characters, I'm on a quest! I'll be republishing later this year and am questing for early readers for my ARC for Book 1, Prelude of Fire.

Prelude of Fire has found family, a good vs. evil quest, emotional twists and turns, and elemental and musical magic. One reader says it's like "if Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings had a baby."

ARC is available in PDF, Epub, and Mobi.

If you're interested in helping me out, drop a comment or message me here directly. I appreciate any help I can get for a successful relaunch. Thanks for considering!

Here's the blurb to help you decide if you're interested:

A desperate mission. Sinister sorcery. Can she find the seven prism shards to stop the world from being destroyed?

Ashlai, a young Fyre mage who can harness powers of flame from the sun, yearns to know about her kin. Her adoptive elven father refuses to let her travel abroad with her brother, and she despairs of ever knowing who she really is. But when the new king’s vicious spell attacks her forest home, she flees toward that unknown past—and an uncertain destiny—guided only by the strange melody in her head and a piece of broken prism.

Determined to save the land from the enchanted drought burning everything in its path, Ashlai searches for six other magical fragments to overthrow the ruthless king. With the help of a shape-shifting thief, two squabbling bards, and a snarky water elf, she races toward a perilous confrontation…and a life-changing truth.

Can Ashlai fight fire with fire to defeat the devastating spell before it consumes the entire land? And can she survive the secrets she discovers without losing her new friends, her family, and even herself?

Prelude of Fire is the thrilling first book in The Gailean Quartet YA epic fantasy series. Featuring a diverse cast, high-stakes quests, and music melded with magic, you’ll love Schulze’s emotional journey.

Read Prelude of Fire to ignite destiny today!

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! I’d love to collaborate with you.
I recently published my first book, Crawling Out of Hell — a raw, true story about growing up surrounded by poverty, violence, and addiction, and finding redemption through sport, the army, and family.

I’m currently looking for ARC readers and also open to Bookstagram or TikTok features if that’s something you’d enjoy.

If it sounds interesting, I’d be happy to send you email with the review copy.

He's a dragon King searching for his fated mate. She's running from a monster that she just can't escape.
Seraphine thought escaping her abusive husband would end the nightmare, but her past refuses to stay buried.
In the seaside town of Wavecrest, her newfound peace is fragile—until Draven walks into her café. He's impossibly warm, dangerously powerful, and claims she's his destined mate. His kingdom is dying. Her past is hunting her. And the cult that tortured her? They're coming to take her back.
Draven will burn the world down to protect her. But the mate-bond must be chosen, not claimed. And Seraphine isn't ready to trust a man who makes her feel again.

Hi Karen,
I recently read the arc to your book 'Of Fire and Fate', and i was wondering whether you'd like me to post a review. I couldn't find the book in your profile, so I'm not sure if you wanted reviewers.
Thanks

Do any of you guys know any links for physical arcs???

Hi I have asked Goodreads to allocate it to me but I don't think it has been done yet. This is the page link though https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... I would love a review if you have the time.

Hi Gabrielle, do you read steamy achy romance?

Think in between Daisy Haites and Ana Huang world.

My debut novel is an obsessive slow-burn romance — magnetic MMC, married heroine, one-floor-apart tension, elevator moments, neon-noir energy, and yes… he’s the kind of man you’ll probably lose sleep over.

I’ve just put the first 3 chapters online (150k-word book) and I’m building a small ARC team of girlies who live for intense, character-driven obsession. If you are interested just let me know I can put you on the ARC team.

👉 You can download the 3 chapters on my website: https://christinamach.com/ 🎀
