Hi Kyle,I would be really interested in reading your book. I wouldn't like to review it straight away. I would love the opportunity to give some constructive feedback if you are interested? :-)
It’s the first of a four part series called “Spiritborn”
Synopsis:
In the beginning The Creator created two world and in them two different beings. With his infinite wisdom he created the spirits, immortal beings of legend as powerful as they were wise. With the passion in his heart he created mankind. The humans lived fleeting, explosive, beautiful lives. In the world of man the love in human hearts gave birth to envy and envy gave birth to wrath. War broke out between the humans. The Creator saw this and decided to share the wisdom of the spirits with the humans in hopes for a better world. These beings known as Spiritborn lived as humans with the ability to call the great spirits from their realm. The spirits tried to guide the humans, but emotion proved too powerful. The humans and spirits destroyed themselves leading to the extinction of the planet. The Creator knew that there needed to be a balance of the world for it to survive once more, thus he created the guardians.
War- The Great Dragon. A spirit so large and fearsome it is said his roar alone can topple nations.
Chaos- A being made of the combination of spider, mantis, and scorpion
Peace- an ape made of metal to combat the dragon’s fire.
Life- a spriggan-like woman credited for the revival of humanity and the planet.
Death- a horror unknowable. Those who see his face do not live to speak of the silent horror he brings.
The first book “Spiritborn” four part series follows Kyah. She is the granddaughter of a lore teller, a people respected for their knowledge of the history and traditions of the Spiritborn.
