Songs of Legends Book I: A Lamentation for the Past
Community Rating
Description
It is a season of uncertainty. Across the land, men and women sense the changing tides of fate and nations are on the brink of war. The actions of a few may change the course for many.
Justinius Honerius, the illegitimate son of the illustrious senator Horatius Honerius, has been called back to the capital, Aquilla. After years of seclusion from society, he is to take his place with his family as a senator and help steer the course of his nation. It is a world of corruption, deceit, and manipulation that can make a cynic out of the most hopeful of men.
Lumina Humilus is the eldest daughter of a diplomatic family. Her city is on the verge of invasion from Aquilla and stands no chance against their power. If her world plunges into the chaos of war, Lumina must use all her skills to survive.
Across the land, rogue commanders scheme for control, creatures from the past reappear to speak to humanity, and dark forces work beneath the surface. A conflict seems inevitable, a fatalistic clash of two nations, pushed toward its conclusion by the manipulation of a mysterious cult. Their means to achieve all their goals is a power spoken of in myth…until now.
This is my first book on this platform and I have written the entire first book. I'm looking for contructive feedback, for people interested in this kind of story, and for support from fellow writers.
This story is really a passion project that I have been working on for four years now. It is heavily based on Roman history, American culture, political intrigue, and biblical stories. The entire series is planned out and I have begun my work on the second book. I'm hoping that, by posting here regularly, I can find an audience that wants to read my work and go from there.
All feedback is appreciated as long as it is kept polite, concise, and in the spirit of helping a fellow writer/reader improve. Reviews also greatly help gain eyes on stories.
