[1156] The Lies of Ashukin Chapter One 97,000 word Fantasy novel

Hey everyone, a little background on me:

I've published 6 short stories, including the First Place Winner for the Writer's Digest Popular Fiction Awards ("Jin's Baby", suspense). I'm currently trying to attract an agent, so please do rip this opening chapter apart. I would really appreciate all feedback: constructive, encouraging, anything you have.

My main question is: Based on the strength of these 1,156 words, would you keep reading?
