"To carry power is to carry a burden...[but] to survive is to guard your heart."

In honor of #IndieAuthorMonth, I’m spotlighting Abby Anne Korver and her wonderful debut, The Mender’s Curse—a classic fantasy full of magic, rebellion, heart, and healing.

The cast is rich and memorable (Oz and Asa are favs!), and the relationship between the main characters, Liam and Sapphira is mature and refreshingly sweet. Add in great disability rep and themes of found family, and you’ve got a story that feels both epic and deeply human.

Perfect for fans of immersive quests (with an awesome quest squad!) and a compelling story from a fresh voice. 💙

S Y N O P S I S:

Liam, a mender cursed with immortality, wanders the realms of Amaria in search of a cure. This dangerous path leads him to some unexpected allies. Together, they must confront magical creatures and navigate the treacherous landscape owned by the Republic, their most formidable enemy.

As their journey unfolds, so too does their bond, growing stronger with each challenge they face. Amidst the twists and turns, Liam is forced to confront the ultimate question: Does he truly wish to break his curse and embrace mortality, or will he choose to live forever, bearing the pain of eternal life?

Q O T D:

If you could visit any fictional world, where would you go?
