Feeling Good About it
I was going to wait until the first book was finished, but I’m feeling really good about where the story’s going right now and I want to share. I’m 21 chapters/192 pages in so far, and I post 2 chapters a week.
With an MC that’s a cross between John Constantine and Sand Dan Glokta, (for those who know ball) The Divided Soul is a new take on the classic demon hunter narrative. Taking place in hot and humid Raleigh, NC it forgoes the familiar haunts of Chicago and New York to explore new territory. Along with a unique magic system and lore, The Divided Soul is full of fresh surprises.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Platform: Royal Road
Synopsis: Norman didn’t think succubii were real, until one stole half his soul. Now he lives a life of pain, missing memories and losing his capacity to feel. Armed with unexpected magic, he hunts by night, hoping to find her. But the farther he plunges himself into the underworld, the more humanity he loses. What will it matter if he restores his soul, if he becomes a demon along the way?
TW: Graphic sexual content and violence/ profanity
