I have finally edited the first part of the book to death. I'm at the joining chapters where the book will either break and a second book started or it will just flow into the second part of the longer story. It's only 258 pages, but I can see the first book stopping in this area.
A death has occurred, the hero (Noelle) feels forced into starting the quest for the Firestones, if not for herself then in an attempt to stop war from coming to her homeland. She will have to leave home and travel through the forest and mountains with the army. She will be split from those she is most comfortable. She will have to fight for her life and those around her. She will have to learn to depend on Elohim (God) and stand on her own feet to face a dragon. Book 2 deals with the whole issue of learning who she is and what she believes. A couple of younger characters show up in this story, so Noelle is no longer the youngest, they help bring out a bit of maturity in her.
I'm definitely having fun with the story.
