Such an exciting moment for an author when the first physical books for a new novel arrive. These ARCs (Advance Reader’s Copies) are part of a limited print run. They are meant for reviewers to give them a chance to read the book before it is officially published. These are uncorrected proofs, which means they still contain some minor (and sometimes not so minor) errors in them that will hopefully be fixed in the final version.
But now that the physical copies have shown up, it means we’re getting closer to publication, and I can’t wait to share Petra’s story with readers!
If you’re a reviewer or blogger of historical fantasy and would like a physical copy, please get in touch through my contact form.
🍂COMING OCTOBER 2023🍂
Synopsis:
With her husband off fighting at World War I’s eastern front, Petra Kurková embraces her fleeting freedom, roaming the city at night with her camera. A born witch, she’s discovered that she can capture the souls of the dead on film. Her supernatural skills don’t go unnoticed by the enigmatic Josef Svoboda. He’s recruiting a team of sorcerers to infiltrate the front lines, where the bloodshed of combat has resurrected foul creatures. Petra’s unique abilities will be needed against the most dangerous enemies of all—those ever present, undead, and unseen.
Deep in the cursed Carpathian Mountains, the ragtag team meets with an emissary of an ancient organization founded to maintain balance between worlds. Photographing the escalating horrors is beyond anything Petra imagined. So are the secrets among her fellow witches. But Petra can’t turn back. Not before she discovers her husband’s fate and the myriad ways her magic is manifesting. To defeat an occult foe, Petra must release the power she’s been concealing for so long, or risk damning a war-torn world to ashes.
