I know it’s fantasy, so I understand if it’s not your cup-o-tea, but this is also my first attempt at a romance novel… so I would love to hear your thoughts on it, if you are willing.

Aefflaed’s Weakness: A Love Story

This touching story began as a short story and quickly evolved into an epic. (well, a short novel, but still an epic story….if I can toot my own horn a bit. )

In my previous WIP, The Adventures of the Last Aygiff, Abirami was my protagonist. An 18 year old orphan who fought to protect the ones he loved (his adopted family of orphans). Aefflaed’s Weakness is the story of how Abirami’s parents first met. But do not worry, if you haven’t read my previous work (not yet published. ), this short novel is a stand alone. And also, do not worry, this story is not a tragedy, either.

Aefflaed is a doctor and finds herself treating a mighty war general of a rare poison. She journeys with him to find an equally rare ingredient for the cure before the man who poisoned him catches up to them.

Aefflaed quickly finds her swept up in a phantom war long past won, as well as swept up by hidden emotions as she battles between tender attractions and self-loathing. Will her past continue to haunt her as the general’s past literally hunts him? Or will salvation and redemption be found?

It is a world where many of the races have essence abilities (my world’s version of magic), though they are limited in their applications depending upon the race they belong to. The website posted above also has sections where you can peruse the different races and read about their abilities should you be interested.

Please let me know if you are interested in reading my novel for me and also what the best format is for you – whether that be via email or google doc or pdf or some other means.
