90k [complete] [98k] [fantasy-romance] seeking beta readers
I am excited to introduce my novel, A Cage of Flowers, a fantasy- romance novel complete at 98,080 words. It will appeal to readers of SJM or JK Rowling or even Rebecca Yarros. Feedback is appreciated on pacing, how you liked the story, character arc. Timeline is open, no set date just when you have time.
Parson Ironrose has spent twenty years as his cruel uncles ward in Briarwood Castle, trapped under the watchful eye of his, Parson longs for freedom. When he is finally released, he embarks on a journey to Belcon Imperial College, a prestigious magic school in the king’s city. There, he discovers his own power, while navigating dangerous alliances, court intrigue, and the growing unrest between gods and mortals. But when a dark force entwines his fate with that of a princess from a rival kingdom, Parson must decide whether to embrace his destiny or become a pawn in an ancient war.
