Become an ARC Reader for Talismans of Desire

Read early. Share your thoughts. Help shape the launch.

I’m gathering a small team of early readers who love Norse myth, slow-burn romance, and atmospheric stories set in Viking-Age Scandinavia.

If that sounds like you, I’d love to share an advance copy.

ARC readers get early access to my upcoming Norse romantic fantasy novel before its public release. You’ll receive a free digital copy and, I hope, leave an honest review on Amazon or Goodreads when the book launches.

What You’ll Receive

  • Early digital copy of Talismans of Desire

  • Access before publication (planned release March 2026)

  • Option to share feedback directly with me

  • Reminder and review links when the book launches

  • Priority invitation for the sequel ARC

  • My endless gratitude

Sign up below to request an advance copy.
The form sends me an email, and I will happily reply.
Once approved, you’ll receive a download link when ARCs are ready.

Thank you for helping me bring this story to life. Every early reader makes a difference, and I can’t wait to share Kilda’s journey with you.

Freya bless you and yours,

Eira Simmer

Chapter 60

(When Kilda thinks all is lost, a ray of light banishes the terror of night.)

“You wouldn’t!”
It seems he would, because he steps into my house without invitation. Three swift strides and he’s next to my bed, lifting me up in his iron arms. 

I squeal as I squirm.

“You beastly troll!” I shout.
“You bring out the best in me.”

  • ARC stands for Advance Reader Copy. It means you’ll receive an early digital version of Talismans of Desire before its official release. ARC readers help authors by reading early and sharing honest feedback or reviews around launch time.

  • When ARCs are ready, you will get a private email with a BookFunnel link. It will include simple download options, either a PDF or Epub (for Kindle), so you can read on your preferred device.

  • ARC copies are planned for February 2026. You will get an email with simple instructions to get your early copy.

  • I hope you read your copy during the ARC period and, if possible, post an honest review on Kindle or Goodreads once the book is released. Private feedback by email is always welcome too.

  • Reviews are very helpful to the launch but its completely up to you (I hope you do:) ). If you prefer to share your thoughts privately, that is perfectly fine. Every opinion helps me grow as an author.

  • No, ARC copies are digital only. You can choose between a PDF file or a Kindle version when you download through BookFunnel.

  • Yes. Anyone who enjoys romantasy and is willing to provide honest feedback is welcome to apply. Spaces may be limited to keep the team manageable.

  • Yes. Your details are used only to send ARC materials and updates related to the ARC process. You can unsubscribe from ARC emails at any time.
