A nice traditional fantasy with heroes and heroines on a journey to save the world, cute animals, monsters to kill. Just like every other fantasy book ever.
But, For now.
It's watching you.
it knows.
It doesn't forget.
Possible Triggers in this book are:
Dark themes/world (It is a dark fantasy after all. *cough*)
Descriptions bordering on gore (What I'd consider mild descriptions of injuries. But sometimes I can get a bit enthusiastic, so wait a day or two and I'll probably edit it a bit. That's why I don't use the tag.) Telling the story is the thing not trying to make anyone vomit. 😛
Mental and verbal abuse
Violence
Mild horror
Heart stopping action? (I can fantasize I'm getting that right, ha. 😅)
This is a multi pov book, for now just two main povs. You'll know right away who's pov it is in the first paragraph or sentence. Even though doing so creates some distance, I feel on here it's necessary as people have to wait a while between chapters.
I'll turn on the suggestions helper when the book is done. It's been fully revised four times now. With many chapters completely rewritten and new ones added.
Going into 'editing mode' is jarring for me and it's hard to get back into creating mode, that's why it's off.
What makes us truly strong? Is it in the physical? How about the mental? Perhaps in faith? What gives a person moxy? Just using physical strength isn't enough to make a female protagonist strong, just like everyone else she too is a mix of all things, drawing from many wells. Feminity isn't a weakness it's a strength, celebrate this!
Most dark fantasy doesn't have any actual heroes or genuinely good people everyone tends to be 'gray' what about people who want to make a better life for themselves and others, and take a stand for what's right? There's many other ways to make a world dark.
Come read, let me give it a try at something different.
Thank you for reading!
