WHAT SETS YOUR BOOK APART FROM THE COMPETITION?
My book is an action-packed, emotionally charged story exploring the intersection of duty, love, and destiny. It’s a book full of twists, supported by a polished, fast-paced writing style. It’s an urban fantasy book created for the genre’s lovers, but also for the more traditional readers, since the main character is often facing relatable high stakes and there is an original plot-line.
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF…
I use my name, Daniel Georgiev, to write, but I am also known as Blentkills. I am a writer and musician, originally from Bulgaria. At 15 I made my first attempt at exploring the fantasy worlds and the idea for “Makiya” was born. The web novel grew strong as a top trending book on the exclusively-contracted web platforms Goodnovel and Meganovel. The success with “Makiya” pushed my confidence, inspiring many of my musical pieces, and further enhanced my ambition to write new stories. ‘The White Phoenix: Birth of An Angel’ was released at the end of 2023 as my first self-published book. Soon after I released ‘Godwalker: Ashes of Destiny’, and I am already working on my next series ‘Mathsmagica’.
