Book 1: The Value of Truth

In a world filled with magic and adventure, a group of would-be heroes set out to create their own legend.
Jay is a Lacunai Mystic, able to borrow the power of magical creatures to overcome the challenges life puts in his way. But the magic of his father’s family carries a price. The mystic will inevitably turn into something like the very creature they pull their strength from. This is a source of pride among the mystics of his family — his father smugly wears the signs of his draconic source of power. Jay, though, is a little more reluctant to use his abilities. He is not pleased with what he was given, and now seeks to change his fate, before it changes him.
Disclaimer: This is a slow moving story where transformation and changes are a part of the story, but not the story itself. The story will progress at its own pace. Feel free to explore the world of the story together with me while we wait for things to happen!
Oh, and please note that the themes and elements may refer to the overall story, not the individual chapters.
Also, this is not a historical story. It’s Fantasy. The people will probably sound a little bit modern when they talk, but… well, fantasy! So there.
Finally, the usual things about how any characters portrayed within belong to me, and I’d like to keep it that way, even if they would resemble living, dead or fictional people by coincidence. The written world is big enough for all of us!
Comments
Enjoyed this book very much.
I really enjoyed getting to know Jaden and the group. You write amazingly well and have created a rich interesting world to play and work within. It was very enjoyable taking the journey with the group on their adventures in the group. I liked the pace at the end where most of the loose ends were wrapped up in one blaze of glory. The ending felt right and not contrived as when the deux ex machina saves the day. I'm glad that there are hints that the next book may be on its way. Otherwise after every chapter being such non stop action, I would have expected a bit of afterglow as any woman would demand after that much pleasurable activity. Well Done!

Lots of fun writing it!
Well, I couldn't really use the Deus Ex Machina *again*, right? I had already spent my once-per-book back in Tier :)
The wonderful thing about writing a longer piece is how you can weave a more complex story. Or, maybe it's better to say "full" story? You get to introduce many people, plots, places, ideas, that you can bring back later. For me, that gives the world a more living feel to it, and familiarity.
Thanks for reading!
