Shooting for 100k words on a fantasy novel with a working title of The Hand of Power. Already sitting on 3270 words after a full day at work too, so making good time towards the 100k mark.
- kiba 16y agoWhat is the Hand Of Power about?
- runevault 16y agoMy easiest answer is to copy my synopsis: When a King dies, his son must discover if he needs to follow in his father's footsteps, of tread his own path of rulership. All the while holding onto a family secret dating back generations, one which helps them keep power... so long as no one knows about it. Meanwhile his most trusted adviser finds herself crippled during an attack on the new King, destroying her both physically and mystically. She must discover who she truly is and how she can help her Liege in her new situation, while coming to understand just how dangerous the world really is. edit: My "big theme" is exploring identity, in the young monarch's case figuring out who he is as a ruler, in the Elementalist's case figuring out how to handle life after her magic is crippled. All while dealing with strife from those who would depose him.
