Query: YA High Fantasy
Posted: May 9th, 2021, 8:05 pm
Dear [Agent],
I am writing to seek representation for Light Breaker Book One: The Starlight Sword, my debut young adult fantasy novel. The Starlight Sword is about 106,000 words and the first in a planned series.
Six years ago, the Hero of Radiance, chosen by the gods, killed the Demon King who had terrorized the human Lucrian nations.
Now, in those nations, the hero's apprentice, Theo, struggles to fill his mentor's shoes. As he begins taking on more responsibility, however, it becomes evident that he is underprepared, and that he has not been told the whole truth about the war and the demons.
In Yun, the land of the so-called demons, the Demon King's daughter, Shiren, does her best to leave her past behind and live in peace. But the hero's allies consider their work unfinished as long as she lives, and her attempts to evade them only paint a target on her back.
Amidst all of this, the two discover that the conflict is less over than either of them would like to believe.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
