Well it isn't a short story or some picture I photoshopped up but instead a novel that I recently wrote. I'm not here to advertise it, so don't worry this post still applies. I'm just curious on what people think of my work. Below is what the back of the book says, aka what you'd see if you picked it up and read it in a store.
When a man wakes up inside a cage that is being carried through
an underground city, he has no idea where he is or what has
happened to him. As Von, a victim of amnesia, is taken to a jail
cell to await his fate amongst elves, humans, dwarfs, gnomes, and
halflings, he is told he is a member of the Royal Guard of Genisus.
It is not long before he is transported to the palace where he
meets an impatient king who eventually returns him to his jail
cell while deciding his destiny.
As Von’s memory slowly returns, he discovers that he is the only
one who can protect Drylor—a world that abandoned him—
from its greatest evil, his own brother. Through his journey to the
truth, Von meets an unlikely group of friends who are willing
to sacrifice everything to help him stop his brother Scarlet
from annihilating the only world they have ever known.
As Von’s past becomes clear and reveals his future, he soon
realizes the only way he can end his brother’s heartless
massacres is to find him and kill him.
So, what I am curious of if you were browsing the Fantasy books section in barnes and noble and you picked up the book to read the back, would you be interested in buying it/reading more or would you put it back on the shelf and move on?
