Welcome everyone!
Last week I posted the first look at the front cover of my upcoming fantasy novelette. While it only included the bottom third, it still revealed quite a bit about what the book will be about and the overall tone it will have. Today, let’s go even further. Below, you can read the blurb from the back of the book:
Now you know the name of my main character! I wanted to keep some of the names simple while others more complicated. There’s a reason for this. My setting is divided into two parallel civilizations. Whenever they meet, there is trouble. My protagonist comes from the dominant civilization. His name is simple. The other character mentioned in the blurb comes from the declining civilization. His name is ethereal and otherworldly. I imagine it’s a hard name to pronounce for you right now.
This is a story about going through a transformation, not simply of the physical but more importantly of the mental, emotional, and spiritual. My new fantasy novelette takes the reader on a journey from a mundane and self-centered life to one where humility, integrity, and sacrifice are honored.
The tone of the blurb above is much different than the wide-eyed adventuresome spirit of The Hunter’s Rose series. This story will be more visceral, more shocking. Without a doubt, I think this is the best thing I’ve written yet, and I hope that you, dear readers, are ready for a raw and gritty ride.
Until next time, take care of each other.
Peace,
-Troy
