<p> Hundreds of years after the Heretic wars ended, life has returned to its blissful ignorant state that only peace could bring. Whilst the never-ending war between Man, Beast and Mutant rages on, most are not even aware of a war that happened between men. Its prophecies shattered, their remnants surviving only in obscure bard tales. One is about to grow. </p> <p> On the cracked face of the world, Essence storms and Beast Waves keep the citizenry locked atop the Emperor city of Qaelang. Knowledge of the past is as rare as the metals that flow into the hands of Sacred Artists and at the root of it all are whispers of a malignant force, ancient and terrible. Holding humanity back from achieving greatness, but hiding too are secrets best left untouched. </p> <p> Balance, discipline and order have held Qaelang secure since time immemorial, the powers within claiming to adhere to them. None are more fearful of change than the ones with the most to lose, but change is coming. </p> <p> </p> <p> <strong> Blade of Wuxia is a long character-focused epic fantasy with progression and growth </strong> . It's about a boy's quest to become powerful enough to save those he cares most for and give them a better life. It's set in a world of hidden pasts and uncovering them will set him on a path that shakes the Empire. As this is a rewrite that took on a wildly different spin, reviews are most welcome and help me do better. </p> <p> <strong> What can the reader expect? </strong> </p> <p> A Wuxia society set in a High fantasy world. People are only doing what they know and may have mistaken beliefs. </p> <p> A clever resourceful protagonist with human flaws </p> <p> A far-reaching hidden fantasy world, rich in history. Multiple points of view are used to follow the story to its natural conclusions, not every NPC has all the answers, but there is one MC in this book. </p> <p> Progression will take time and sometimes even unknowingly. MC is not trained in the ways and knowledge must be tempered against experimentation. </p> <p> <strong> Release Schedule. </strong> </p> <p> As I said this is a rewrite that took a dramatic turn, not all characters survived. Honestly, it has been quite painful to delete entire chapters and start again and some characters might make a return depending on reader feedback. </p> <p> I intend to join the Writathon as a whipping tool to keep the chapters coming, but might fall out if I feel the quality is too severely affected. </p> <p> When I'm happy with a chapter I will release it. I currently only have one person critically reviewing them and would be grateful for others. </p> <p> This story is not completed yet but I do have a general idea of what the end looks like for both MC's (yes both) Ultimately feedback will be most influential on the progression of release as it's you guys I'm looking to entertain. </p>
