Movement 3: Narrative

A story is interrupted by antagonistic gods. Six young heroes struggle to learn, to master their powers, to survive in a narrative that would have been challenging enough without outside interference. Elsewhere, an eclectic group braves the fog, seeking a door. None of this is going to turn out well.

This is the third book ofRough Draft. I advise you to begin at the beginning if you have not already. But don’t let me stop you. A friend of mine once listened toBleak Houseon audiobook with the chapters shuffled by accident, and he decided that it improved the experience.

This book includes the following elements:

- Voluntary cecity

- Deceptive deific discourse

- A montage

- First and Second-through-Sixth Admirals Thelonius Dantalion Emberstar and Sons

- Several hymns of varying efficacy

- An ill-fated romance

- Knowledge of reiteration

- The troublesome allocation of blame

- Spontaneous musical numbers

- The appearance of the true antagonist of this story
