Luminous: Book 1 [Paperback Sample]

Here are sample chapters for the paperback version of Luminous: Book One, which will be released on Amazon (via Kindle Direct Publishing) around early October 2024.

By purchasing this print version, you will get:

- Chapters 0 - 64 of Luminous (Prologue - End of Jaise arc)
- Better prose, a few new scenes and dialogue!
- Minor plot tweaks, and plot holes filled (all of them, hopefully!)
- Two new, never-before-seen illustrations!
- A new map of Latakia! (created with Inkarnate)

Please note:
This paperback version is created by me, me and le me.
It has NOT been professionally edited, proofread nor formatted.
I am NOT a native English speaker.
I do NOT have a degree in Literature nor English.
This is my debut novel. I have published NOThing prior to this.

This is my life work, my first and possibly my last.
I want to give it the best chance of success I can.
However, I'm your average corporate grunt who doesn't have 10-grand to spare on a professional illustrator, editor, proofreader, etc. for a vanity indie project.
What I do have, nevertheless, is love and effort, with which I have painstakingly fulfilled those roles myself to the best of my ability.

This is just for me, and all of you who have been waiting to hold Luminous in your hands in corporeal form. If this book finds success, I may consider releasing a professional version someday. For now, let's just wait and see what the future holds.

I'm being 100% honest here, because the last thing I want is for you to part with your (or your parents') hard-earned gold and be disappointed. That would be the most painful thing for me.
What you see here is the quality you will get. Please have a look before making your decision!

Thank you so much for the past four years of love and support!
