Hello everyone. I have the first 3 chapters of my completed manuscript up, Stars & Chains. It is a historical fantasy about a genie. 
          	Blurb: 
          	America was founded on three death wishes-and genie, Celeste, wishes to the stars she denied them. After centuries of torturous isolation in her lamp, Celeste finds herself in gritty and tumultuous Colonial America. Her newest master, the Governor of Bateaux Bay, is vying to be king of the New World. Desperate to avoid returning to her lamp, Celeste reluctantly becomes a pawn in the governor's war. She strikes a deal with him-she'll use her power to do more than simply grant three wishes-including torturing a-if he agrees to give her freedom upon becoming king.
          	
          	However, her plans go awry when she befriends the governor's two sons, Elias and Cassius. In their own different ways, they help her-Elias by showing her love and Cassius by challenging her views. Seeing the implications of her master's wishes-genocide of the indigenous people and impending war-she must decide if she will focus on her freedom or break her bargain for the betterment of the New World by standing up for the one person who could stop it all-herself.
