Gifts of the Auldtree Starlight Jewel, Book 1, (Paperback)

<p>The human city of Minalav is renowned for its lavish balls, where nobles bring wealth from distant lands to the Starlight Palace, to be romanced-and robbed-by the half-human hybrids who live below the city. The wealthy guests leave without their treasure, and with no memory of their evening-except the unforgettable feelings that bring them back, season after season. But the magic of Minalav is built on dark secrets and lies. </p><p>Axly, a hybrid assassin and seductress-thief, will do anything to protect her human half-brother. The path of blood and chaos she carves will tip the precious balance of Minalav, and the world around it.</p><p> </p><p>493 pages, 173k words, 3rd person PoV, Past Tense, Multiple PoV, Medieval Alternate World Epic Fantasy, Female Main Character, Spiceless/Fade-to-Black</p><p> </p><p>No AI was used in the writing of this book or the making of its cover.</p><p> </p><p>Honest reviews of all sorts and kinds are appreciated.
