SEEKING ADVANCED READERS FOR MY UPCOMING NOVEL "WE WHO DEFY DRAGONS"

Hello fellow fantasy enthusiasts!

I’m thrilled to invite you to become an Advanced Reader for my upcoming novel, We Who Defy Dragons. This is a special opportunity for readers who want to dive into a world filled with dragons, magic, and adventure before the official release.

About We Who Defy Dragons…

Nine has only ever been a survivor. Scarred and orphaned by dragon fire, he toils in the toxic labor of harvesting Darkfire ore, a drug processed from dragon waste, to sustain the Commonwealth’s elite. Born into a society that venerates dragons as gods and ruled by the tyrannical Dragon Lords, Nine is just a cog in the machine—a "Knuckle Scraper" sentenced to a life of servitude. But beneath his burned flesh and hardened exterior burns a quiet defiance.

When Exodus, a dragon that Nine serves, crashes into his sanctuary wounded and unaccompanied by his rider, Lord Commodus, Nine senses something is deeply wrong. Against every survival instinct, he ventures close to the injured beast, an encounter that thrusts him into a dangerous spiral of rebellion and revelation. Mounting Exodus in a desperate, suicidal act, Nine defies centuries of societal norms and inadvertently exposes the frailty of the Dragon Lords' power.

"We Who Defy Dragons" is a gripping tale of rebellion, identity, and the cost of freedom, weaving together themes of societal control, addiction, and redemption in a richly layered fantasy world. It challenges what it means to be chosen, daring its characters—and its readers—to defy the gods.

Why I Need You

As I prepare for the release of We Who Defy Dragons, I’m looking for dedicated readers who can help get the word out! My goal is to collect 200-300 honest reviews on Goodreads before the book’s official release. This is where YOU come in. If you sign up to become an advanced reader, you’ll receive an ebook copy of the novel in advance—either in the last week of August or the first week of September (depending on when the cover art is ready).

Why Advanced Reviews Matter

Getting early reviews on Goodreads is one of the most effective ways to generate buzz before a book's release. Reviews play a huge role in attracting new readers and creating momentum, and I’m entrusting you to post your thoughts in good faith once you’ve had a chance to read. Your feedback and review on Goodreads will help ensure We Who Defy Dragons reaches the readers who will love it.

How to Sign Up

Simply sign up for my newsletter, and when the time comes, I’ll send you the ebook copy directly. You may use that file to upload directly to your e-reader, or you can read it as a PDF on your computer or tablet. You’ll be one of the first to explore this new world—and you’ll have a chance to shape its success with your honest review.

Thank You!

I truly appreciate your support on this journey. Your reviews will help We Who Defy Dragons soar, and I can’t wait to share this world with you. Be sure to sign up today so you don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity!

Stay tuned for updates, and I hope to see your name on the Advanced Reader list soon!

Thank you,

Devin Thorpe
