At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)Complete
Love of the Lost Ones
!Original story and original characters! An assassin, Verena Cliffwood, is hired by the king to kill a man, Lucian Bryonhill. She takes the job for a large sum of gold. She finds out that Lucian is the kingdom's hero, everything thinks of him as a savior. This was going to be a lot harder than she thought, but she would not quit. They meet, and Lucian is more charming than Verena expected. That annoyed her. A lot. Maybe Lucian would be very hard to kill, but not for the reasons she thought. She didn't know if she could bring herself to kill him. The king was not happy about that. Will Verena finish off Lucian? Will Lucian be forced to fight back? Or will they both get their happy endings? This is an actual book that I am writing and I just thought that I should put it here and see what people think of it. Please comment your thoughts and tips for a young writer. Also, this is the first draft so it might not sound right and it might have some spelling or grammar errors.Complete
