Red Like Blood | A Sapphic Enemies-to-Lovers Romantasy

Battlemage Riven and her companions travel to the grasslands for a mission, only to find their target dead on arrival. As they crash the victory party, they learn that the culprit is none other than Kavsha Blairstack—an arrogant warlord with a dangerous reputation, who now has her gaze set on an equally rare treasure: the magic-wielding battlemage from the South. Sparks and steel collide as Riven and Kavsha learn that passion, red as blood and sweet as honey, can be won in both love and in war.

Requirements & Requests

I'm looking for feedback on the first 75% of this novel (the final part is written, but still being tweaked). Chapters will be sent one at a time for beta readers via Google Docs. I'm hoping for comments throughout the piece and for a few feedback questions to be answered at the end of each chapter. Beta readers are ideally fans of sapphic romantasy. Readers must be 18+ (this story is intended for adult audiences) and fluent in English (the language the story is written in). If that's you, please get in touch!
