That's how long this thing called Between Gods and Demigods is.
Now I know what a lot of you are thinking: What is Between Gods and Demigods? Well I'm glad you asked.
This novella is an introduction to Ruskhazar, the world of Rage Like the Gods. A prequel about the mad sorceress Azern herself, my only POV character not chosen by one of the gods. But she was chosen by a demigod... and that's what this novella is about, Azern being chosen by The Lady of Dawn, and the beginning of her visions of the future.
Also it's my first book with an elf protagonist, so that's pretty exciting. Dear past Nicki, it's finally happening. E L V E S
At this size it will be about 70 pages long (give or take though because there will be edits done in the future), and I'm planning to publish it this May. Also it is my current goal to have it illustrated...
Here's the working blurb:
Once there was a battle between gods and demigods, and the demigods lost. Now sorcery is banned and those who choose to follow the demigods are shunned, even the followers of the Lady of Dawn, the only demigod to side with her godly parents in the battle.
Azern doesn’t know much about the outside world, or anything other than
the crumbling secluded temple she was raised in. Year by year goes by, and one
by one the priests leave the temple never to return. As a member of the few
remaining members devout to Lady Dawn, Azern is faced with a calling bigger and far
more deadly than she ever could have imagined.
The demigods are
awakening, and once again the Lady of Dawn calls upon her followers to aid her
parents in their fight. Azern is given the task of finding and protecting
those who were Chosen by the gods to save humanity. To aid her in this task she is
gifted a taste of Lady Dawn’s foresight, but the first vision she ever sees of
the future is about a Magicker, an injury, and a werewolf attack. Azern is
convinced that she was given this vision so that she could save this Magicker’s
life. Even if she must go undercover as a Magicker herself and join a mad lord
in his suicidal battle against werewolves to do it. If her sorcery is
discovered it could mean death. If a werewolf eats her it could mean death.
But for mortals caught in the ancient struggle between gods and demigods, death is just an occupational hazard.
Ooo! Elves!!!
