"Tales of the Magic Realms: The Death of a Dragon" is about a thief, who had just escaped a city being destroyed by an immense dragon for the second time in his life, that takes refuge in a ruined manor house within a destroyed ancient city. Not long after, he finds himself in the company of a master swordsman journeying to visit a place of legend that he'd been told about during his travels. On the journey, they're joined by the master swordsman's brother, a traveling Lightbringer who spreads word of the Creator's grace and mercy, and a formerly crazy woman who was healed after a prayer for restoration. As they travel, the thief's eyes are opened to the mystery and wonder of the intensely magical world of Terebethia, is confronted by the very nature of good and evil, and sets into motion an incredible series of events that will echo through the ages. Though, in all this, the true beginning of the story is when the dragon falls asleep under rafters within the same ruined building the thief was hiding in and the death of a dragon.
While magic is and will be featured heavily within the series, it is presented as a natural force that can be harnessed and channeled through practical knowledge and understanding and not acts of sorcery. Also, while not Christian in name, the book presents views on the nature of good and evil, the gift of salvation through the sacrifice of a redeemer, seeking justice rather than vengeance, as well as the importance of examining the world around you through critical analysis.
The novel is just under 74K words and has been placed in a Google Document online for easier collaboration and tracking of comments and suggestions. If you'd like to participate, please send me a DM and I'll provide you with the link.
What I'm seeking is general feedback on how it reads and notification if any errors escaped my round of self-editing. Leaving a comment on any chapter that involves characters traveling or time passing by would also be very helpful as I'm trying to gather all the needed details to make an accurate map of where the main characters travel. My hopeful goal is to get everything finished so that I can begin submitting the novel before the Christmas rush. It isn't a hard deadline, but would be nice if I could accomplish it.
If you are interested, please send me a PM. Again, it being in one month would be preferable, but so long as you are able to make regular progress, I don't mind it taking longer.
