Just over a month till release! Which means it’s time for more consistent About The Book posts 😉 Starting with character intros, of course! Today features Lord of the Rings typecasting. Because seriously, what else do you expect of me? 😛
Main Characters
Giselle: The Unlikely Hero. She’s shy and in way over her head, but she’s not gonna quit!
Ami: The Bold Woman. She has opinions and is not afraid to share them, but she’s also got a pronounced soft side. Very much the mom of the group.
Eamon: The Loyal Friend & Protector. He’s always there, hovering in the background. Doesn’t say much, but when he does it means something.
The Villains
Devoron: Fearsome Monster. A parasitic horror created by arts of the Dark Power. Sadistic creature that will inflict pain for the slightest offense.
Ackley (Giselle’s Uncle): Bitter Old Man. A tragic past and painful infirmity have made him hard. Drowning in bitterness, he vents his rage on Giselle in any way he can, but most often with his fists.
Rajani: Evil Wizard. Creator of the curse and the Dark Power’s most prominent servant. Will do anything to maintain his status.
Side Characters
Lord Elden: Noble Leader. Champion of the downtrodden. Will drop a high-profile mission to escort a pair of peasant women through a deadly wood, just cause he was there. (And I guess you’ve now figured out my fave LOTR men 😉 Also Faramir, but unfortunately I didn’t write one of him 😦 )
Gil & Leal: Overeager sidekicks. Hyperactive cinnamon rolls who try so desperately to be helpful, but usually end up in trouble. Nothing much phases them, even when it should. (These two were seriously so much fun to write!)
Creative One: Christ Figure. I recon this one’s pretty obvious 😛 Mysterious character no one really knows or takes note of till they need him. Rae’s attempt at Aslan LOL (Again, what else do you expect of me 😛 )
And that’s a wrap! Who are you most looking forward to meeting? Also, who’s your fave LOTR dude? Oh, and don’t forget to preorder for swag! Character art of the MCs done by none other than Laura Hollingsworth! There’s a link to the swag form on my Books page.
