/ Fantasy / Mark of the Jackal
Synopsis
Nothing is as it always seems....
Betrayal disguised as "Protection"....
A ragtag band of mercenaries are the closest thing to a family....
Creatures forever feared are sometimes misunderstood....
Old wounds... heal....
Nothing is as it seems...
This is a lesson I learned the hard way, and one that keeps me alive....
The world of Aquera has always been drowned in the tides of war even during times of utter peace. Bloodshed is woven into the fabrics of this magical world filled with a number of denizens both human and monster. Cities fall while kingdoms rise just to crumble in a number of years.
Alas, our story doesn't follow these confines. Our story follows the beginnings of a future king destined to bring an end to this cycle...or the world itself......

Write a reviewWriting this after 5 chapters, the biggest strength so far is the author's thorough and skillful writing. Descriptions are very vivid and pass the test of what I expect from high fantasy. The characters have strong points of view that feel authentic and not like the author is overwriting their own views onto them. My biggest piece of advice to the author is to break up the paragraphs dramatically. I myself had to learn this lesson, so I speak from experience. Many readers are only going to read your story on mobile, so if you open up the app you'll see how large the blocks of text are as presented right now. It's not ruining the story, but I do feel it will stop some people from reading because of what they expect from this site.
