I am looking for some beta readers for my book, a young adult fantasy story that explores OCD and anxiety through a fantasy lens, focusing on a journey of self-acceptance.
The main character is transported to a world where he is the prophesied savior, but he's dealing with real-world mental health issues (anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts). After refusing the call, he agrees to training, builds relationships with those around him, and trains in attunement; the elemental magic channeled through gems and weapons (think Avatar: the Last Airbender meets Mistborn). The found family and skills he develops allow him to stand up to the threat of an invasion by a masked dark king whose goal is to nullify the world itself, ending the cycles of pain for humanity.
If you're interested in being a beta reader, please let me know here. I can share a link to my Google Doc. I can't guarantee it's ready for prime time, but I hope I can get it to a good state at some point. I suffer from OCD, and having a proper representation of OCD and treatment techniques (like values-based therapy) would have been so helpful. Plus, I think the idea is fun! Magic weapons with elemental powers!
