Kill Your Darlings

Exclusive Edition

Narrado por: L.E. Harper

Fantasy author Kyla knows dreams don't come true.

Isolated and grappling with debilitating depression, she copes by writing about the realm of Solera. Fearless heroes, feisty shapeshifters, and mighty dragons come alive on her pages. She adores her characters, but she doesn’t believe in happy endings. And if she can’t have one, why should they?

Kyla’s on the verge of giving up on everything when she wakes one morning, magically trapped in her fictional world. Now she’s with her most cherished characters: the friends she's always yearned for, the family she's never known. There's even someone who might be Prince Charming (if Kyla could get her act together and manage some honest communication). She’d surrender to the halcyon fantasy, except she knows a nightmarish ending awaits. Solera is at war, and its defenders are losing against the insidious villain spawned in the depths of Kyla’s mind. He feeds on the energy of dreams, seeks the destruction of all who oppose him—and Kyla’s become his number one target.

Kyla must trade her pen for a sword and fight to change her story's ending, but this isn’t a fantasy anymore. No happily-ever-after is guaranteed. And mental illness has robbed her of everything she needs to succeed: love, fighting spirit, hope. If Kyla can’t overcome the darkness inside her, she’ll die with her darlings.

Content Warnings: Depictions of mental illness including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and self-harm.

very Enjoyable fantasy

Well, it took me a while to get invested in the book it was pulling. It got me thinking about choices that I've made and choice that i didn't make. I loved All of the fantasy
And the self-reflection highly recommend this book
P.S. Yes dragons are real

Loved the story and the narration was AMAZING!

I've now read this book 5 tines, once as a beta reader, once as an editor, twice as a reader and huge fan, and now once as an audiobook. I can read this book again and again and will never tire of it.

If you like flawed MCs, compelling/relateable conflict, and a struggle worth fighting and seeing to the bitter end and beyond every single time, then you MUST add this to your tbr.

Plus there's battle, action, dragons, swords, a dark lord, a multiverse. I mean...there's so much amazing content in here and you will come away changed forever.

SO READ IT!

healing fantasy

aim not an emotional person who cries at every book. I can name only three books that ever made my cry. This is one of them. It is so haunting, yet healing at the same time. Nourishing. and heart breaking. I've been there. I've felt like that. and I needed a friendly dragon and guardian Phoenix.

ps. If you get annoyed with Kyla throughout this story... yeah depression really is that annoying.
