Would anyone like to Alpha/beta read my novel Curtain’s Edge?

@anne_the_noob14 This is the novel I was writing during NaNoWriMo. You asked me to tag you for Beta reading.

@h-jones You probably don’t remember this, but a long time ago you asked me to tag you when I was accepting Betas. Since my book has changed titles and the plot has changed a lot, but here it finally is. I’m tagging you if you’re still interested.

Synopsis:

Towering over the dragon-infested jungles of Dragamere rises a wall of white-water droplets, a massive waterfall, that seems to have no source. The villagers of Dragamere call it the White Curtain.

But the White Curtain, standing unchanged for hundreds of years, is not the cause for the rumors striking fear into the hearts of the villager of Dragamere. Not even the foreign bodies that have been found washed up in the rivers fed by the Curtain are the cause for the fearful rumors. No, these rumors seem to be about something that could alter the fate of mankind forever: an uprising of the dragons.

For years, the people of Dragamere have lived in fear of the threat of united dragons. Their fears have led them to take drastic measures, including sending young boys out to kill dragons and removing those who can’t. Weaker humans are considered only useful for sacrificing to dragons.

But on the brink of a dragon uprising, the human population of Dragamere is weaker than ever, its members cruel and isolated towards each other.

The small town of Elkfoot is no different. However, out of this town, two people will arise who will change the history of not only Dragamere, but lands unknown. Besides this, the village contains a powerful relic, bringing the town into the path of a dangerous thief.

Joel is a weakling, hiding his scars behind isolation and trickery. But when even this fails to protect him, he receives unlikely aid – from a dragon, Vromidon. Vromidon claims Joel is more than just a weakling boy. Joel doesn’t know what to think. Neither realize how much their lives are about to change.
