SGDQ 2024 - Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals

Team swap for @stranglethorn-bonfire-bash!

After basically moving all my purposes and life to another city blog like every mainstream YA protagonist, I think I should introduce myself, shouldn’t I?

Hello, I am May (she/her), a 22yo aspiriring writer and failed artists with the wildest love for foreign languages (my field of study, although it gets harder when you get older), fantasy and history -and a consistent fear of the blank page.

But I love writing, so maybe let’s be friends? I can bake cupcakes :3

My WIP(s)

The Fall of the Sun Empire (title-in-progress): (new) adult | political? fantasy | thrilogy | queer romance | inspired by Ottoman Empire in matters of climate, cold steel, fashion and minor political details | 2/4 of the first draft ready

Avni is the bastard brother of the Sultana of Ghesh-any, and he is a living contraddiction -in spite of his controlled behaviour, he is a single father to his own bastard daughter, he is barely able to hold himself together in front of his sister, and he is haunted by his own guilt and shame, for a person he loved and their people died because of Avni’s own family. 

Charged with the government of Athera, the capital city, Avni is forced to face the threats sewing their nets through Ghesh-any, and when the Turncloak’s rebellion is crushed, Avni seems to be the first (if not the only) one to see the decay past the propaganda and the frail wealth of the Sultanate -a truth of conflicts, religious dangers and political conspiracies he never asked to be involved in to begin with. 

Main characters (and povs): 

Avni (27yo, he/him, human), protagonist

Selan (29yo, they/them, Vashty), deuteragonist

Yujen (25yo, she/her, human)

Alright, 2023 is almost over, but still ✨Happy 30th Anniversary✨ to the Lufia series! 🎂🎈
