A “wanted” sign of a book and the text says “ARC reader wanted, reward: exclusive content” The book tropes are: queer pirates, multiple POVs, historical fantasy and hurt/comfort

#ARCsignups for The Wolf and the Siren Song are OPEN ‼️

Because of the “beautiful” nature of social media, I decided to share the signup 🔗 to all members on my Patreon, free or paid members ⬇️

Mars seen standing from a side, wearing fancy clothes. He's stabbing his own chest with a rapier while his other hand is holding a blue drape falling from above. Behind him, a white spider web and a wolf head seen from its side, so large it covers the whole background. All sits in a golden frame with floral decorations and bees. In the blue drape, you can almost see Mars laying down, kissing a skeleton.
