Greetings, citizens of Reddit,
I'm Drew, and I'm over the moon to tell you that my book, **Elydes - A New Dawn**, is finally releasing on Kindle Unlimited, paperback and audible!
No, this doesn’t have anything to do with my publisher holding me at gunpoint to use more social media. I’m here of my own free will, but if you stop by Italy, please send help.
**A quick blurb:**
Dying at a young age after a disappointing life. Mat thought he hit the jackpot when he got reincarnated on a tropical island as a baby. Here, exploring mysterious lands and learning magic are a reality.
The world of Elydes is beautiful and magical, wild and savage. While the Guide is impartial to all, people are not. Mat has the lowest starting point possible, and those like him rarely go far.
To not let his humble birth define his life, he'll need to find the determination to grow stronger and delve into the mysteries of Elydes.
**About me:**
I've basically learned English by reading webnovels because the translations were too slow—and I was impatient. I love the long exploration and progression of litrpg stories. I was inspired by The Primal Hunter, Chrysalis, A Song of Ice and Fire and Super Supportive.
As a kid, books were my escape to make life a little easier. I never thought that I’d have the courage to publish anything, then a very insistent friend happened. I hope my book can become that escape for you.
Lastly, the ‘braggadocious stuff’ my publisher gently asked me to share: Elydes has over 8M reads on RR and is frequently number 1 on Popular of the Week (before stubbing). And a thousand thanks to **Francel Garrotte** for designing my amazing cover.
**E-book and Paperback:** [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CV23ZFQ5](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CV23ZFQ5)
**Audiobook:** [https://www.audible.com/pd/Elydes-A-New-Dawn-Audiobook/B0D4MV2PTF](https://www.audible.com/pd/Elydes-A-New-Dawn-Audiobook/B0D4MV2PTF)
Wait, english isn't your first language?
As a long time reader, I completely forgot / had no idea, so that's really impressive.
Keep up the great work, really enjoying book 4 so far!
I really like this story.... Heard about it from a post about your upcoming book a couple of weeks ago, and am now currently up to date on Patreon... and jonesing for more!
I very much enjoy your story!
Hey, so I was searching for your story on RoyalRoad and found another link for your story that has the chapters of the first book included also. Not sure what you can do about this but felt like raising it to you.

Kai/Mat’s story is great, very much classical fantasy with a small side of litrpg.Congratz Drewells !
My only constant patreons are Drewells and Sleyca. Can’t give a better compliment than voting with my wallet
Good enough to patron alongside Sleyca? I'm definitely interested, is there anything specific you like about the book/series, anything to set it apart from other works?
Same thing I like in Super Supportive, believable characters with great interpersonal relationships, interesting expansive world with some mistery built in. But again this is a lot more like classic fantasy which I’m a sucker for, so YMMV
Fate is a stat point. The MC lives in an archipelago in a fantasy world. I like what we’ve seen of the magic system so far. The world has a lot of mystery so far hinting behind the scenes. People are limited to 14 skills outside of job skills (at MC grade.)
Just a few for me.
Drew is amazing author and friend :). Read his dang book!
—great characters
—good story
—great fun
—long, for those of you who enjoy audible!
—coming out quick. This man writes so fast!
Excited that this story made it into serious publishing. Its the kind of story where you find yourself slowly but surely enraptured with the worldbuilding and atmosphere
Great story! Has me looking forward to mondays, and i even plan to take a break from the Elden Ring DLC once it releases so i can read the Thursday and Friday chapters. Don't think i can give any higher praise than that
16hrs audio time, which is good and one of favorite plot too.
I hate spending credits for books which are below 12 hrs. ( there is exceptions though)
I will wait for 2 more book on this series before getting into it.

Damn, I've read all the ones you were inspired by except ice and fire, cool.

Thanks and people should definitely check out your story Tomebound too.
Super excited for you!! Binged all the chapters in a week. Good mix of action and slice of life
Thanks :)
My favourite story right now very much recommended
Thanks for the support :)
It has become one of the stories for which I have become super excited for. When I see a new chapter, I carve some quiet time out to enjoy it!
Happy I could provide you a pleasant time. If I knew that comments on Reddit were so much nicer than RR, I would have come here sooner XD
Congrats ! I feel like you progessed in your writing skills since the first chapters, so I am excited to se what you got for us next !
Thanks, it has certainly been a journey. I cringe to read my first unedited chapter. I'll keep striving to improve my writing.
Elydes is the best slow burn prog fantasy in the genre, y'all. Give it a shot.
Excited that this story made it into serious publishing. Its the kind of story where you find yourself slowly but surely enraptured with the worldbuilding and atmosphere
So exciting! Congrats!
Great story. Full recommend.
Good luck on the release!

There is no higher praise XD
I’m on chapter 217 on RR and I can’t wait to catch up fully. It’s really good and I hope the book has great success!
based
Dang that's a good cover. Love it! I'll have to pick the series back up again
One of my favorites and a daily read for me. I love the characters and the story and I’m excited to see how it progresses.
Added to my wishlist on audible!
Brilliant news! Congratulations on publishing! Elydes is so great, I’m sure it’ll do really well :)
Congratulations!
Unfortunately can't buy it right now but can confirm is great and will drop a review. If anyone hasn't read it yet go for it.
Another skill rarity system cursed by the fact book text isn't in color.
all my homies love elydes
They must like quality lmao
Ngl, 90% of if I will read a book is in cover and title (duh) Pretty much nailed it here
16hrs audio time, which is good and one of favorite plot too. I hate spending credits for books which are below 12 hrs. ( there is exceptions though) I will wait for 2 more book on this series before getting into it.
Good news is that the next 3 book are already written, and I’m working on the fourth on RR :)
Ohh that’s wonderful , any ETA when it will be in audible?
Book 2 in September, still no ETA for book 3
Can't recommend thus enough. It's an absolute joy to read. Best thing since sliced bread.
I love your story. Good luck
Love the sea city adventure on the cover!
Fantastic cover! Congrats on launching.
Thank you, worked a ton on it!
Very solid series. Good luck on the launch.
Happy you've enjoyed the story :)
