Calling All Readers 🤍✨📖
She didn’t want fame.
She wanted to be chosen.
I’m opening a limited beta reader opportunity for The Star & the Saint — a gothic psychological story about devotion, mentorship, and the quiet danger of being shaped by someone you love.
Maeve Astor is young, talented, and hungry for recognition. When she’s selected by Mother Melisandre — a legendary acting mentor known for making careers — Maeve believes she’s been saved.
Melisandre’s attention is calm. Exacting. Intimate.
Praise is rare. Correction is constant. Affection feels disciplined. Sacred. Earned.
Under her guidance, Maeve begins to shine.
But as Maeve is drawn deeper into Melisandre’s world, she begins to realize the intimacy she treasures may not be unique — and the future being offered to her may require more than sacrifice.
It may require disappearance.
The Star & the Saint explores feminine power, devotion mistaken for love, and the quiet horror of being molded into someone else’s legacy.
This beta opportunity is best suited for readers who enjoy:
– psychological tension and slow-burn unease
– gothic, literary atmospheres
– complex female relationships
– stories that unsettle rather than shock
