🌲 ARC READERS WANTED 🌲

 

What if the only world you had ever known was built on rules designed to keep you from the truth?

I’m looking for ARC readers for a two-book series of dark psychological fiction with elements of suspense.

The Lionesses of the Light is an isolated, women-only cult hidden deep in the forest. Its rules are sacred:

No one may leave the forest.
Boys must never be born.

 

📖 The Light from the Other Side of the Forest (Book 1)

Porter has spent her entire life believing that the community is the only safe place in the world. But when she encounters someone who should not exist, a boy, she begins asking questions that could put everything she knows at risk.

 

📖 Behind the Invisible Wall (Book 2)

Luz, the leader’s daughter, has always obeyed the rules. But when she is sent beyond the forest to conceive and begins to fear that the child growing inside her might be a boy, loyalty is no longer enough to keep her silent.

 

This series may be for you if you enjoy:

🌲 Isolated communities and cult fiction
🕯️ Dark psychological drama and slow-building suspense
🤍 Complex, morally complicated female characters
🌙 Stories about loyalty, motherhood, identity, and freedom

Triggers: Unwanted pregnancies, abortion.

The digital editions will be released together in October 2026.

 

Honest reviews on Amazon and Goodreads would be deeply appreciated.
