I'm going to be submitting this in 15 hours for various reasons so I need opinions on the synopsis for Moonshadow's Guardian. Anyone who is willing to read and give a basic critique of the book (it's short, about 250 odd pages double spaced) just post your email and I'll send the file to you.
All comments and crits are much appreciated. Here goes:
In Moonshadow's Guardian, we follow Riana, a demon who defies the traditional definition of 'demon'. We discover that she wishes to remain with the humans, in peace. She is brought back to the demons' 'Home' before being rescued by a god, Loki, from the angry hands of her 'Family'. Riana is then sent to protect the nation Moonshadow and its royal bloodline. In doing so, her first duty is to destroy a plague obviously created by a Telar, a telepath.
Riana travels to the ancient city of Riminira with challenges, and on the way she falls in love with a vampire named Andre, of the royal bloodline of Moonshadow. In Riminira an ancient woman, Lari, is using the victims of the plague. Their souls leave and souls from her ancient culture return. Riana and Andre travel on their dragon, Rolf, to destroy Lari, going ahead of the camp. Lari's ancient power source is destroyed and Riminira burns to the ground.
She returns to Moonshadow with survivors of the old country, Shalinor. They begin to rebuild Shalinor as a faction of Moonshadow. She leads a group of colonists, displaced from the burning of the town, to the ancient City of the Endeared. Old memories of her first Summoning to the human plane return to haunt her and she begins to do research in the ancient, magically preserved library there. The Librarian, a shadow being, aids her with his knowledge of the library.
War breaks out between Moonshadow and another nation, Tar'Ig'Vor. Riana fights with the Librarian and makes a friend of the army's leader, Nathan. She sees the Librarian one last time before the city is attacked, and they make a deal. Nathan dies in battle, and when she returns, the Librarian has faded away to nothing.
Riana makes an alliance with the Tar'Ig'Vor rebels and destroys the old royal family, putting another family in its place. She then returns to the capital of Moonshadow, where the original monarch, Jacob I, a vampire, returns with his wife Beth to lead Moonshadow into the Golden Age.
Riana lives happily for many years with Andre... and then she writes her story, and with it, condemns herself to death; the ancient punishment of the gods invoked.
Well I haven't been here in ages and OF COURSE when I want to get back into writing a lot more, I get something that MIGHT be carpal tunnel.
Now doesn't my life just suck?
I've got very, very limited computer access right now (as in I only have it at my bf's), so my writing is flopping and so is my blogging.
But I AM alive. Yay.
