It is 129k words, but I will also be happy if you are only interested in the first few chapters. This is the first in a series, and I am already working on the next book, so it would be fantastic if I could find someone around for the long haul! I am also willing to participate in a swap. I would love to have a small group to discuss ideas on a live document.
Thank you so much
You can find a synopsis below:
In the wake of a brutal murder, the twin Solar and Lunar kingdoms are plunged into a bloody civil war, fracturing them more than ever. Ten years later, the land of Celestia is ravaged by fanaticism and corruption. Amidst increasing savagery and political turmoil, the streets are governed by criminal gangs and ruthless zealots. At the heart of it all is the Archduke, Solar radical and leader of the Monarchy. Hiding behind his devoted aristocracy, the Archduke and his regime of horrors are untouchable. Then, a damsel, a witch, a crook and a heretic walk into a bar.
Upon a chance encounter, the band of scrappy vigilantes join forces, determined to restore Celestia to its former glory. Among them is Eadgar, a soldier-turned-thief who must make peace with the atrocities he committed at war under the Archduke’s Monarchy. Together, the outlaws form a plot to take down the aristocracy: one heist at a time. They build an impressive crime empire, but not without attracting the attention of a pair of dangerous assassins and the syndicates whose rule they threaten.
‘Tales of Celestia’ charts the rise of loveable yet unconventional heroes who are not afraid to get their hands dirty.
