Hi everyone!
This is my debut book, Strands of Existence 1: island Girl, so please check it out. Give a review if you feel like it or drop me a line, just happy to hear from any readers

(I’d also love any opinions on the cover as I was told making one yourself can be a “kiss of death”, but being the stubborn person I am, I wanted to try.)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55220750-strands-of-existence-1 I got quite a bit of good feedback on it from publishers here in my home country and some English publishers too. I’ve studied creative writing under some published authors in my time. This version of the book has also been revised and edited linguistically by a native editor.
Here’s the blurb: “As an opportunist, Istrae yearns to get off her home island and visit Kerth, the City of Light and Abundance. Her preferred method of travel, however, didn't include drowning. And she didn't expect the city to be so dirty. Her memories are as broken as her body. She begins to piece them together with the help of a spirit bound to a statue and an ambitious army captain called Rime she enjoys teasing.
As Rime guides Istrae in her new life, it becomes evident the rigid rules of society and the city's Temple do not welcome those who seek to shake the established rules, which is something Istrae is incapable of resisting.”
I’d urge anyone interested to check out the review the editor left on Goodreads if you want to know more of the setting or what to expect

It's a little too long to copy and paste here.
I hope you enjoy!
