[Book 1 and 2 COMPLETE] Straight-A student Jane Huang cares only about acing her classes and graduating college... until a terrifying encounter with an otherworldly monster plunges her into the mysterious world of Mir. To return to the home she loves, Jane must become an 'avtorka' -- one with the gods-given power to write in Mir's Book of Truths and change reality. A brutal series of tests awaits her, each designed by the gods to target her weaknesses and shatter her resolve. Helping her train for her godstests is Nikolay, a ruthless battlemage whose Oath to protect his dying ruler is slowly killing him. Nikolay needs Jane to break his Oath -- or so Jane thinks -- and despite their mutual enmity, she agrees to help him. But as Jane endures her godstests, she is drawn into a web of magic, mystery, and deceit that forces her to question Nikolay's motives, the godstests, and the very nature of reality itself. ***Earnesty Writing Award Fantasy Winner!*** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdMY61yxdPg **First Place in the Punk Rock Awards, 2022, Action/Adventure** **First Place in the Dream Awards 2020, Adventure** **First Place in the Golden Awards, Adventure** **First Place in the Mono Awards 2020, Adventure** **First Place in the Shimmer Awards 2020, Adventure** **First Place in the Sunshine Awards 2020, Adventure** **Second Place in the Paper Awards 2020, Adventure** **Second Place in the First Impressions Award (SUAW) 2020** **Third Place in the Golden Awards 2020, Fantasy** **Third Place in the Noble Awards 2020, Action/Adventure** **Third Place in the Imperial Awards 2020, Adventure**
