Let the games begin. In a world of ancient powers, a young boy struggles to survive. Discovering ancient curses and dark powers, he learns how to topple the greatest of powers the world has ever seen. The only question is who is the best player in the great game? Book 1: Lost Bloodlines (Second Pass Complete) To elaborate a little. I am building this off of the Writathon in the Spring 2023. I didn't actually have any plans for this, but I quickly realized it was a way to push myself as a writer. So I set down the goal of writing an entire 55k+ novel with a single prompt.A necromancer awakes in a village. The story has changed a lot since that idea, and I have to say that I am reasonably happy with where the story is at the moment. I have changed it a lot over the three drafts I have written since the start of the event, and I would encourage you to take a moment and try it again if you read it in the early days. My first draft was pretty awful. Please realize that this was entirely improvised and enjoy.
