Title: Phantasmaria
I don’t care what the critics say.
The story(a trilogy in fact that I am actually writing and am working on the final novel right now) centers around a 16 year old prince, Sakriel, who discovers he is a necromancer and must save the world from, of course, a Dark Lord named Zalmoxis, and it’s pretty epic, and very violent in some parts, and has many long, epic battles with monsters, necromancers, wizards, etc, etc. It’s kind of like harry potter, but on steroids, and with lots of BLOOD and biblical allegories.
The novels in the Phantasmaria trilogy are:
The Phantom Agony (complete)
The Phantom Extinction (complete)
The Phantom Renascence (currently writing)
So, if anyone out there is a publisher, hint hint!
Covers:
Book 1: Sakriel wearing a skull mask with a kingdom behind him with the sun high in the sky.
Book 2: Father(a major character) wearing a skull mask with a mechanical angel standing in a paradise behind him with a setting sun.
Book 3: Zalmoxis(the Dark Lord) wearing a skull mask with a wasteland behind him with the moon high in the sky.
It’s selling well because it’s a coming of age story with a very creative approach as well as a child’s view on death, depression, loss, and life in general. :)
