Sam, raised on tales of heroes and gods, yearns for a life of grandeur. Growing restless from his family's secluded existence, he ventures into the wider world, his heart filled with dreams of ascending to the mythical Violet Heaven. But as he journeys, the idyllic world of his mother's stories begins to unravel, revealing a realm rife with suffering and corruption. With each revelation, Sam's idealistic view of heroism is challenged, forcing him to question the very nature of good and evil. Meanwhile his mother, Neva, once a paragon of strength, is reduced to a mere husk of her former self. Her son's birth leaves her with a crippled soul and a fraction of her former strength. Yet, the memories of her regression haunt her. A cataclysmic war that looms over the horizon. Desperate to prepare her family from the grim fate that awaits, she schemes from the shadows, accruing strength – and hiding from the enemies of her past. ----- What to Expect: Multiple POVs. Not sure if it'll work in this novel, but if you've read the Mirror Legacy then its kind of like that. Complex World. The world is intricate and does not revolve around the MCs. So plot points may seem left unresolved but no worries, they'll resolve themselves later on. Character growth. MCs start out naive but they're kids so they'll mature as the story unfolds First Fiction. This can mean anything. But for clarity, this is my first fiction. I believe my grammar is quite good, and I proof read chapters before posting but don't rule out the occasional typo. Grammar should be good though. My writing style may appear clunky but bear with me. I'll get better with time.
