The year is 3406, New Life Calendar. It's been centuries since The Fae Wars, and the Earth is plunged into another era without electricity. Continents were reshaped, countries fell and Empires rose. Faeries have been enslaved and domesticated, used for their magical abilities and the Elves are in a heated rebellion to free them. She's frail, traumatized and not even a full faerie, but after the discovery of a girl who managed to flee a Ward, two elves take Claire under their wing to see if she's got what it takes to help win against the Rhenas Empire of Men, although easier said than done with corruption, magic, and a darker force at work. [Warning: This book has both beautiful AND mature and dark themes to it! Not quite Game of Thrones level, but you certainly shall have a fair amount of dread and evil strewn throughout all the happiness I'm going to include. Anything that would be "particularly" dark will be fade-to-black, though.] All media (pictures, music) and ideological property in easter eggs, references or otherwise shown that are not specified as mine belong to their rightful owners and creators. _____ #40 out of 28.8k in #dystopian 3/12/19 #20 out of 4k in #fae 3/12/19 © Copyright 2019

This is a fictional autobiography of an award-winning journalist by the name of Geoffrey Cunningham. Raised in the eighties, in a small but wealthy family, his father dead when he was only eight, he decides to strike a different path for himself as a grown up when he was supposed to carry the emblem of his family business with aplomb. After achieving distinction in his chosen field of journalism, as he is pressured to pen his story, he decides to anchor his personal narrative in a string of characters who affected him growing up and since. He begins in the thick of personal drama, at a moment in time when the rug was virtually pulled from under his legs. It was a seminal moment that forced him to reconsider his identity, his future and everything that had happened so far in his life. Now, he has decided to write as an experiment, breaking his lines after ten syllables as in blank verse, though metrically not sound, still aiming to be as lyrical as the story of a journalist's life may be. So readers will find some passages and lines of more or less lyrical quality, while others in plain crisp language, the sort you may expect a journalist who is penning his own story to use. There is a visual quality to the passages due to the constraint of the ten-syllable rule. The ten syllable lines are continued over breaks for paragraphs and dialogue, a convention used most noticeably in Shakespeare.
