need to evoke a medieval atmosphere by copying archaic medieval writing style. R.J Blain's prose is tight, sparing. She gives you enough flourish to help you picture the scene -- but not enough to slow down the pace and lose your interest. Even better, she openly welcomes honest critiques in aid of making her story even stronger -- which we feel is the perfect attitude to approach authonomy with. Check out her thrilling pitch below. If Kalen can't prove that he has the power to bend entire kingdoms to his will, he'd only be the first to die. Kalen is best known for being a crippled King, but few know the secret of his birth. When he is taken into the kingdom of Kelsh, he must face all that he was and prove that he is more than a pawn in another King's game. With war on the horizon, it falls to Kalen to try to find a way to stop the inevitable. If he can't, he may have to rely on the power that he had sacrificed his left arm to contain to stop it. But, all power comes with a price and the consequences could be far more disastrous than mere war. This is the rough-raw draft version of this novel. Please don't be shy about pointing out things that need correction, as I'd like to make certain as many readers as possible enjoy the tale!
