Happy Friday! Today I am featuring the debut fantasy novel, Storylore, by Mae McKoy. Mae is a high school homeschooler who loves reading and writing YA and MG fantasy. Mae will be joining the 2025 Turning A New Page Book Festival in Perry, Georgia in January. I can’t wait to hear her fresh perspective on writing for the YA market.
Here’s the first line:
Our family is guarded like a secret.
Princess Cerys of the Northern Isles is the highest target in the world. Being the last living heir to the throne, she takes off and almost instantly finds herself cursed by one of the renowned Persephone’s flowers. However, she’s not the only one who falls victim. Now she must travel across the world with a pestering thief to break the curse, encountering many unlikely friends along the way. But soon they find themselves wrapped in the middle of an even more threatening situation-one that threatens the collapse of the very world they live in.
Between trying to break the curse and attempting to prevent a world-wide war, Cerys finds that not all people are who they appear to be.
And what you’re running from can catch up with you in the end.
Mae McKoy is the author of Storylore and has been writing whimsical, fantastical tales since she was six years old. She is a high school homeschool student who loves reading and writing YA and Middle Grade Fantasy with her cat and a cup of coffee. She hopes her stories inspire courage and hope in readers’ hearts.
