Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a critique partner for my Adult Fantasy novel, Beneath the Black Banner. I've already done a developmental edit using an AI critique tool (inkshift io), which was helpful for a first pass but now I’d love to exchange feedback with another writer.

Here’s a quick blurb:

Beneath the Black Banner is a dark fantasy whodunnit set on the high seas at the dawn of piracy. When the captain of the Argent Wind is found murdered mid-voyage, first officer Thomas Blackwood is thrust into command. The crew is restless, the wind is dying, and suspicion brews below deck. Blackwood must uncover the killer before the crew turns on him. And, before the murderer strikes again.

But the captain’s death is only the beginning. Hidden in the ship’s hold is cargo that was never on the manifest—an ancient artifact with mysterious powers. As Blackwood digs deeper, he uncovers secrets that could ignite mutiny… or something worse: the birth of a legend no sea will ever forget.

Let me know if you'd be interested!

Hillary
