Narrativa
Fantasy
From your best friend, the Narrator: "Someone's reading this time I do not know who they are nor where they are from-Nonetheless, they are not from this realm, they are [someone] from a foreign land to which ours is fiction. I understand your curiosity though, in a world in which reality is stagnant and unchanging- fiction can be kinder to those whose reality is false. Very well, as the [Narrator] of this tale I will inform you the rules of the first arc of chapters: Chapters for the first arc are sorted into six distinct categories: Twilights, Dawns, Midnights, and Daylights. First Twilights reveal information will be the truth for the [Current] worlds. Second Twilights reveal information will be the truth of [Other] worlds. Both First Dawns and Last Dawns are entirely based on [Perspective] and can be both [Unreliable] and [Reliable]. The difference between First and Last Dawn is: One is written from the perspective of the main character and one is written from the perspective of the antagonist. Midnights are chapters written from the perspective of someone [Outside] of the story. First Daylights are the most common of the chapters, they are chapters written from the perspective of the [Narrator] and are subjected to the same rules as a chapter written in a Dawn chapter. I recommend taking notice of what is happening to what is said. Second Daylights are written from the perspective of the-'ll leave this one to your imagination. Final Rule: All death(s) to which a body has been found and identified is true unless it occurs in a Dawn or a First Daylight chapter." "The song of the mad god is most addicting, only those who can smile through the dark can survive listening."

************************************************************************************** An outcast rogue must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday. To survive, he'll need the sword of a maiden, the aid of an immortal, and the power of forbidden magic that could cost him the only girl he ever loved. ************************************************************************************ *** THE JACK OF SOULS won a Silver IPPY this year! *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the PNWA Competition in Fantasy! * *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the Southwest Writers competition! * *** A "Featured Book" on Wattpad! * *** Now a "Staff Pick" on Kickstarter! * *** Available on Amazon in paper, hardback, and ebook ! * *** My contract with Kindle Select won't allow me to post more than 3 chapters here, but... *** Sign up for my newsletter on stephenmerlino.com for alerts when it's free on Amazon! * MY INSPIRATION I wrote this out of pure love of trickster rogues; I love the wit over brawn motif -- Odysseus over Achilles, Raven over Eagle -- so I like to play with it in my stories. In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.
