Hello everyone! I'm Rachel, author of the fantasy series Records of the Ohanzee. This is my first time posting on reddit, but I hope to get to know the members of this subreddit over time! Records of the Ohanzee is not your typical wizards, monsters and dragons fantasy. I was inspired by my background as a scientist to create a world where the magic is just being discovered and is based on actual scientific phenomena--taken one step (or maybe two) beyond reality. Currently, the first two books are available on Amazon: Book 1, Book 2. You can read more about me and the series at my blog Records of the Ohanzee.
If any of you are members of NetGalley, Book 1, Reflection: The Stranger in the Mirror, is currently available here for free in exchange for a review.
Here's the blurb for book 1: An Heiress, an ancient prophecy, and a masquerade...
Nerissa, the Heiress of Chiyo, prepares for the masquerade celebrating the twentieth anniversary of a thwarted assassination attempt on her family. Longing to be admired for herself and not her title, she arranges to switch costumes and enjoy the ball in blissful anonymity. But, when the fateful night finally comes, a prophetic warning of a second attack arrives too late, and the evening turns from revelry and romance to violence. After being pulled from the chaos by an enigmatic guardian, Nerissa learns that the Royal Family has been concealing a formidable secret for generations—and it is only one of many that are about to be revealed.
