Boo! I’m back with a my first novel after over a decade of writing short stories for myself. I got really sucked into the TGCF fandom and kind of abandonned DC so sorry y’all. I just came onto this account for the first time in years to promote this, and I might create an account for this novel if it kicks off.
Anyway, I'll be thankful for anyone who'd check it out and possibly leave an honest review. As I said this is my first novel so constructive criticism is welcome!
The Lone Lake of Glass Lilies is a long, twisting romance novel full of suspense, thrill and silly loving characters as well as horredously cruel characters (it's 322 pages long, with themes of fantasy/romance/thriller/age progression!).
The romance side of things is inspired from books such as Heaven's Official Blessing and with some background elements of Howl's Moving Castle.
The novel takes place in my own self-made fantasy world, where elves, fairies, tieflings, werewolves, giants, cyclopses, goblins, four covens of witches, sorcerers, humans and vampires all live in relative harmony until a particular coven, the Coven of Crows, drops from their noble standing as renowned healers to the darkest pits of anatomy magic after a tragic death of a beloved young lord. The lord’s close brother seeks his revenge on the leading kingdom of the supernatural world and its counterpart fairy kingdom; the elves. The elf king was the ulmtimate leader of their realm whom could halt all wars and battles with the rise of his finger however preferred to hide away from the backlash of intervening in other commuinities’ affairs by sending the crows - most commonly known as the Corbeaus - to offer support on both sides of the battlefield instead.
The typical fantasy characters that all have little twists to their regular characteristics to fit the story; all with their own cultures, beliefs and supersitions; practising both good values and bad as most follow the herd of the community they grew up in. Most.
Our protagonist is the first to stand up against his peoples’ vain belief system with the aid of a most powerful yet gentle presense in his life whose melodious voice guides him through the worst of astrocities.
The plot is jam packed with action that leaves readers wondering what will happen next as our protagonist slowly begins to doubt their own sanity with every heart wrenching decision.
The story revolves around a homeless elf boy who was brought up in the slums of a wealthy elven kingdom. He had slowly grown accustomed to being the victim of mistreatment until he develops his first crush on a bold, endearing fairy princess who is the first to give him a chance to reach his full potential. The story goes through all his stages in life from boy to young teen to teenager, adult and further; as his innocent crush blooms into a deeply fond love for her, keeping him soft and tender even as life becomes unbearble to the brink of death.
The Lone Lake of Glass Lilies can get dreadly depressing at points, and ridiculously silly at others, with sombre topics as well as highly suggestive scenes that make it 18+
The two lovers are kept apart for the majority of the novel, as the love interest becomes too invested in her own duties to contact the lovesick protagonist however the spark between them is always present in the background like the soft glow of a night light in the swallowing darkness.
