I am looking for a second round of beta readers for my short story/novella (11 000 words). It's YA Romance and inspired by the old nordic myth of Liosálfar (light fairies), though set in present time.
Short description:
Svala and Viggo have spent a hundred lives together over the last 1000 years. As Liosálfar (Nordic light fairies) their job is to do good and to uphold the balance in the mortal world. But even fairies need incentive.
They are kept apart each life until they succeed with their assignments. Only when and if they succeed are they allowed to be together for whatever period of time the powers that be decides. Sometimes they are together for decades, other times years, and during the last union once only three weeks.
In this life, Svala turns on her TV to learn that Viggo has become a popular movie star. This is not only highly unexpected, it also indicates something isn’t right. Viggo’s elaborate attempt to contact Svala before their assignments are carried out is highly forbidden and could result in punishment.
For fear her love might be in trouble, Svala seeks him out, but not without breaking a few rules of her own. She also learns the hard lesson that things are not always as they seem.
First chapter is posted here:
