💫 IT'S HERE 💫

Huge thank you to everyone that made 𝐼𝓀𝒶𝓇𝓎𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒟𝒶𝓂𝓃𝑒𝒹 possible. Beta readers, ARC readers, my friends, all y'all have had a hand in bringing this book to life.

I cannot wait for everyone to meet Ikarys and Sabiq. They're a piece of my heart and I hope you love them 💜

Text reads: Paperback and ebook - Out Now Dark fantasy Transmasc autistic MC Doomed City Chosen one villain No HEA Devils demons angels In the center, two copies of Ikarys the Damned. One paperback and one on an ereader The cover is an illustration of the main character centered on the cover, framed by bookshelves filled with potions, quills, books, scrolls and other magical items. The border is filled with stars and geometric patterns on a purple/pink background. Ikarys himself is an elven man with a smirk on his face and long flowing black hair. In front of him, purple skinned hands hold open a book with red thread tying their fingers to Ikarys’ neck. The top right corner displays the character Sabiq, wearing a cowl and he has a look of concern. The top left corner displays The Muse, a sultry demon with a knowing grin on her face.

Ways to get free books without pirating them! 🖤
Graphic reads: Read indie authors! Many indie authors will post about looking for ARC Readers or post about having their books on sale/for free. Ideally we would be supporting indie authors by buying their books but not everyone is in a position to. A great way to support them is to post reviews, help promote their books and engage on social media” with logos of Blue Sky, TikTok and Instagram Graphic reads: Kindle Unlimited *Not free but not pay-per-book* KELLEN GRAVES Some of my fave books on KU: A SCIENCE FANTASY TAYLOR HUBRARD KU has so many amazing indie authors! There are also a lot of trad published books as well. It does cost to sign up, there is usually a free trial for first time readers. I understand the horrible impact that amazon has, especially on book sellers, authors, and indie book stores. In addtion many indie authors have asked that folks continue their subscriptions/reading books on KU because it is where many folks get most of their sales/revenue. With covers of THE WHIMS OF GODS SERAPH THE FLOWERED BLADE DARK RISE SUNBEARER TRIALS Graphic reads: "But its a digital book and it doesn't cost the author anything so its not like I'm stealing from them" "Its like I'm just borrowing the book from a friend since I wouldn't be buying it anyways" "I am poor so I can only read books if I pirate them" "I'll promote the author's work to make up for stealing it." Pirating books hurts authors Pirating impacts publishing deal renewals. It prevents indie authors from getting trad published or audiobook deals. Stealing an author's book is saying "I like it but not enough to pay you for your work. It prevents authors from being able to post their works to places like Kindle Unlimited It strongly discourages authors from continuing to write because readers don't value their work or respect them enough to actually support them. I don't really know how else to explain why stealing an author's work isn't okay. There are so many things people say to justify it but at the end of the day your favorite author is being harmed by piracy.

Kai didn’t speak, but he nodded and quietly followed him out, leaving everything they could have been back in that little room.

Alongside his knight, Sir Deklyn Delonir, Kai leaves the safety he once knew to find the source of the scourge attacking his home. If he fails, Hawkeron will fall.
