Eirlys Morgan hates magic. As a priestess-in-training who fakes her divine visions, she’s made it her life’s mission to rid the world of the very force that shattered her past. But when her best friend, Loa, is cursed into a magical coma, Eirlys is forced to go on a dangerous quest to the cursed island of Glyndor. The only way to save Loa lies in a mythical artifact hidden deep within the island. But as Eirlys ventures deeper into Glyndor, nothing is as it seems. The mission she thought was a chance to save her friend is part of a darker plan—one that could destroy everything she’s fought to protect. Torn between the magic she despises and the boy who once broke her heart by embracing it, Eirlys must decide: save Loa, or risk everything to stop a far greater threat before it’s too late.

Requirements & Requests

I'm looking for honest, constructive feedback. Please let me know what worked for you: scenes you enjoyed, characters you connected with, .... I'd also like to hear where things didn’t quite land: plot points that were confusing, pacing that felt too slow or too fast, characters who seemed inconsistent, or anything that pulled you out of the story. I’m not expecting line edits or grammar corrections (unless something really stands out) but general comments on my prose are appreciated.
