To Fincaldon and Beyond

To commemorate reaching Fincaldon in my editing of Lett's Legacy I am...making a blog. Well, it's the best I can do, really. But why should I celebrate reaching the continent of Fincaldon? Fincaldon really opens a new phase in the book, as it is in Fincaldon that ties to earlier books in the series begin to form and be hinted at. Take Grimham, for example. Just your regular crazy guy, right? But he leads on that he actually knows a lot more about Lett and his destiny than has previously been revealed. Add on to that, in this part we get another tantalizing hint that there's more to Lett's old instructor than meets the eye. What is that something? You'll have to wait and see when you read the book, but I've got to say that reaching this part is exciting for me as the writer because this is also where another major nemesis of Lett is introduced in Ferandie, who later grows to be one of the antagonists of Lett that the reader gets to associate with the best, and he's just the right person to be the villain that you just can't help but hate.

For a brief review of the plot (without ruining the storyline, hopefully), our hero, Lett, is discovered as the first human wizard, and very shortly in the book we learn that he has the legendary Master Staff, an ancient weapon that supposedly has "the power to destroy armies". Lett, led by an intense curiosity, an appetite for adventure, and a developing sense of responsibilities, takes the reader through various adventures where he makes various friends, including the lovable Rallin and the ever-loyal Swilt, and gets into plenty of predicaments as he begins learning to be the Staff Bearer that he must become in a world of increasing dangers as threats from an army of dark creatures, at the command of the mysterious "Dark One," come to destroy all who would oppose them, from the Bavaroh Forest to the Armanose and Aquidian Kingdoms. Throughout this first portion of the story Lett collects the various Elemental Staffs, aiding him in his magical abilities of things ranging from flight to moving the very ground he walks on. And all of that is packed into just the first half of the story, only to have the plotline continue to thicken as we proceed into the second half of Lett's exciting adventure. Will Lett be able to stop the armies of the Dark One and save the world? Well, if I told you that there'd be no point in reading the story, would there?

So yeah, I'm excited. But that's enough rambling. Wanna know more? Leave me a message or send me an email!
