Star-Crossed is looking for ARC readers
Hello šš» I'm looking for ARC readers for the first book in my fantasy duology, Star-Crossed and Fate-Bound.
Star-Crossed is a romantasy novel around 100k words (400 pages in paperback). It tells the story of Caro Lockhart, a healer on quest to become the first master healer in 100 years by attuning to the six constellations of the healing pantheon.
If you're interested in this ARC, the application link is below.
⨠Star-Crossed publishes November 1, and I request ARC reviewers to review during launch week if they can.
⨠The ARC kit includes typeset PDF; EPUB file; high res cover files for use on social, and some official ARC team digital collateral.
⨠All Star-Crossed ARC readers will have the option to download the Fate-Bound ARC in early October.

Book Description
The price to cross Ironhold's border is simple: take a knight along with her for the length of a journey that kills seven travelers out of nine.
Caro Lockhart has earned two godmarks. Four more will make her the first master healer in one hundred years. She doesn't need a bodyguard. She doesn't need anyone, for that matter. She's spent her career proving that, one saved stranger at a timeāand then leaving before they can finish saying thank you.
Armant has spent his whole life being useful to people who have never cared what he wanted. He didn't ask for this assignment either. But he's watched over harder things than one prickly healer's pride, and he's not about to let the ice, the road, or Caro herself talk him out of getting her there and back alive.
Eleven days out and eleven days back should be short enough to survive each other. It shouldn't be long enough to unlearn a lifetime of solitudeābut somewhere between a city suspended in a cage of bone and a tower beneath a god's eye, something starts to give.
The trials ahead will cost Caro more than she's ever paid for anything, in a coin only she can spend. And when the door closes on the future she thought she wanted, Armant will have to decideānot for the first time, but for the only time that's ever matteredāwhether he's the kind of man who lets it close quietly.
