**EMAIL #1: Launch Day**  
**SUBJECT LINE:** The wait is over—your new fantasy obsession is here  
**PREVIEW TEXT:** Dive into Whispers of the Forgotten Realm today... (42 chars)  

**HEADER:** Whispers of the Forgotten Realm is Live!  

**BODY:**  
Hey [First Name],  

Remember that epic fantasy itch you've been scratching with endless scrolls through your Kindle? Today, it's scratched—for good.  

*Whispers of the Forgotten Realm* by Thorne Blackwood just launched. Picture this: A forgotten realm where ancient prophecies awaken, shadows whisper secrets, and one reluctant hero must wield lost magic to save it all. It's got the heart-pounding twists of Brandon Sanderson, the lush world-building of Robin Hobb, and a romance subplot that'll keep you up way past bedtime.  

Thorne poured three years into this (I know—I devoured the ARC). Early readers are calling it "the next Wheel of Time starter you can't put down."  

Right now, grab it for just $0.99 (that's 80% off launch week only). Plus, the first 500 buyers get a bonus exclusive short story *Echoes of the Void* AND a high-res digital map of the realm.  

This is your portal to adventure. Don't miss stepping through.

[First Name],  

Three days in, and *Whispers of the Forgotten Realm* is blowing up reader groups. Thought you'd want the real talk from folks just like you.  

"I stayed up till 4 AM—Thorne nailed the magic system!" – Sarah K., ARC reader  
"Best dragon scenes since Temeraire. Heroine is BADASS." – Mike R., beta tester  
"Plot twists had me yelling at my Kindle. 5 stars already." – Lena T., launch buyer  

These aren't paid reviews—they're from everyday fantasy addicts who hit "buy" on Day 1 and haven't surfaced since. Thorne's building a world you'll live in long after the last page.

**EMAIL #3: Day 7**  
**SUBJECT LINE:** 24 hours left on the $0.99 steal  
**PREVIEW TEXT:** Bonus story + map expire midnight... don't miss (43 chars)  

**HEADER:** Last Call: Lock In Your Launch Deal  

**BODY:**  
Hey [First Name],  

Quick heads-up: The $0.99 launch price on *Whispers of the Forgotten Realm* ends at midnight. That's it—no extensions.  

You've seen the buzz. Readers are raving, charts are climbing (top 50 in Epic Fantasy as I type). But the real magic? That bonus short story *Echoes of the Void* (Thorne's prequel gift) and the interactive realm map—exclusive to launch buyers.  

Imagine mapping Elandria's secrets while you read. Or diving into the hero's origin story that sets up Book 2 (yes, it's coming).  

This deal vanishes in 24 hours. Price jumps to $4.99, bonuses gone. Your move?  

Cheers,  
Zara

**EMAIL #4: Week 3**  
**SUBJECT LINE:** Why Whispers is the fantasy fix you need right now  
**PREVIEW TEXT:** In a busy world, escape to Elandria's magic... (41 chars)  

**HEADER:** The Deeper Magic of Whispers of the Forgotten Realm  

**BODY:**  
[First Name],  

Life's chaotic—deadlines, doomscrolling, endless noise. You need an escape that sticks. Enter *Whispers of the Forgotten Realm*.  

This isn't fluff. Thorne weaves real stakes: A hero doubting their power (sound familiar?), prophecies that force impossible choices, magic with brutal costs. It's therapy disguised as adventure—reminding you that even in shadows, you find your fire.  

Why now? Fantasy sales are exploding because we crave worlds bigger than ours. Readers report less stress, better sleep (fewer 3 AM worries). One said, "It reset my brain after a crap week."  

At full price, it's still a steal. No bonuses needed—the story carries it.  

Ready to lose yourself?  

Best,  
Zara

No pressure, just a nudge: Worlds like Elandria don't come often. Grab it, vanish for a weekend.
