Jihad-A Seven Book Series
June 30th 2009 21:03
Those of you who have been with me as readers or as writing friends for a while will know that Jihad has been with me for quite a long time. It started as one book in which the main character is thrown out of our world and into a completely alien one on the brink of war. In essence Jihad is about her mission to end the war.
The Jihad was based off of many Gods very real to the world and the mistakes they had made in the past. There was one war seven hundred years before our main character gets transported. The enemies were 'defeated' but now they are returning.
It has now grown into a huge seven book series. The world building is absolutely astounding, as is the character work that I am doing. Jihad has virtually become its own binder.
Here's an idea of the seven books:
~Storm Rising-The first book in which we see the beginning of the first war: the great alliance, the growing tensions and finally the breaking point. This is the book in which we learn most about Fidolius.
~Alaendril-The story of Alaendril. The first few chapters are about his childhood and the life he left behind; then we are transported to him in the war near the end of his fighting career. We watch him fight and we watch him abandon the fight for the woman he falls in love with.
~Elizabeth-The story of the Queen who put the kingdom back together with the help of the fallen King's brother. (The King during the first Jihad falls of plague towards the end of the war.)
~The Summoner-Summoners are an ancient sect of Fidolius which died out long before even the first Jihad. This is the story of one of them.
~Elvish Rising-The story of the First Elvish King, the man who united the Elves and brought them under one government of sorts.
~Jihad-The original story mentioned above; however it doesn't finish in one novel anymore.
~Dawn-In which the Enemy is defeated for once and for all.
And I'll probably write up a reference book just because I can with all the background work I'm doing.
