Hello, I am currently offering eARCs to any reviewers who would like to read my first Fantasy novel, The Untold Tale (Book #1 of the Accidental Turn series). My previous SF novel Triptych was nominated for and won several awards, and as this is my first foray into fantasy I'd love for the book to be well represented on GR.
Thank you!

An epic fantasy meta-narrative about megafan Pip, who wakes up in the novel series that she’s loved since being a teenager. However, the world is darker, and far more dangerous than she could have ever predicted, especially as the hero is a bigger misogynistic ass than she knew. The Accidental Trilogy chronicles the adventures of Pip in a world whose tropes, clichés, pitfalls and loopholes she can predict and circumnavigate, and what happens when she pulls the characters outside of the comfort of the fantasy world for which they were written. * Master Forsyth Turn isn't a hero. He's never wanted to be one, either; not since his older brother Kintyre found the enchanted sword Foesmiter and waltzed away from his family, his estate, and his responsibilities to become one – and dumped all of his responsibilities on Forsyth.
And then, raiding the castle of a wanted criminal, Forsyth's men rescue Lucy Piper. A bafflingly blunt woman, oddly named and even more oddly mannered, Lucy Piper claims to know things about Kintyre and Forsyth's lives that she can't possibly be privy to. She crashes into Forsyth's quaintly sedentary life like an errant comet and before he knows it, she has him convinced that he is the only man who can join her on her quest to find a magical gateway back to her far-away home.
She drags Forsyth into the kind of adventure that only his brother could have imagined, testing his mettle and forcing Forsyth to confront his own self-shame and the demons, and the bullying that had characterized his childhood. But the Viceroy, Kintyre’s arch-nemesis, is after Lucy Piper and her magical gateway as well.
And the truth of why threatens the stability of the whole Kingdom... Perhaps even their whole world.
Lucy Piper might be able to convince Forsyth that he can be a hero, but is it really his fate to defeat the one villain that even the great Kintyre Turn has never managed to best?
Thank you!
