After reading a post on what should be seen more in YA novels, I realize that mine doesn’t really make sense. And yet, it still works together somehow. The Dark Veil saga (coming 2016) includes:
- Asian dragons and camouflaging wyverns
- Griffins (whatever happened to those anyway?)
- A conlang mixing Gaelige and German
- “Shadow of the Colossus”-sized monsters
- Mostly POC characters
- Cultures based off medieval Italy, Ancient Egypt and Russia
- A blend of steampunk and fantasy (a.k.a. elves with guns)
- Elves with guns
- In case you missed it, elves with guns
- Judaism-based mythology
- A lot of politics and next to no actual physical battles
- Characters that use weapons other than swords (lots of them)
- Consistent fourth-wall breaking
There’s way more that I could put, but nobody would read it. Tl;dr, you know. But I’m curious to see how the fans react to all this.
