[Complete] [75K] [Literary Fantasy] Beyond the Golden Veil

Agraria is a world divided into four castes living under a golden sky where making anything new is the only sin. Dell, apprenticed into a woodworking household that goes back to the signing of the Pact, has been quietly making new things since he came to live there. Now its time for the Gathering, four days of rites held once every thousand days, where new names are given, new things are weighed and the condemned walk west.

Warning: nothing explicit happens in this book, but there are some very uncomfortable scenes dealing with consent, drug use, death and grief. I'm new to warnings, so I'm probably missing a few other tags, too.

Looking for three beta readers, at least one female. I've been through several rounds of write, forget and edit, so the book should be in the ballpark of as good as its going to get. I need people to be honest; tell me if its worth the read. If its good enough to recommend a friend and if I should keep pushing forward with my plan to publish.

No critique swap for now, I'm in a manic state creating like crazy and I don't think I'd help you.

DM me if you're interested.
