Cora Vale writes dark fantasy, lush worlds, and romantic disasters who try very hard to save their realms - and each other.
When not writing, she can be found hoarding notebooks, drinking too much coffee, and getting lost in forests that definitely contain fae.

I'm looking for 3 -5 readers who enjoy dark fantasy / romantasy (fae courts, shadow magic, slow-burn tension, morally grey characters).

Shadowbound is Book One of a trilogy, and I'd love a small group of readers to help me polish it before wider release.

Beta readers will get:
✦ Early access to unreleased chapters
✦ Bonus scenes & extra lore
✦ A credit in the acknowledgements
✦ First invite to Book Two ARCs

I'm looking for honest feedback on pacing, characters, and clarity - and if you enjoy the story, an honest review would mean the world to me.
