Now that Dragon Emperor: Book Two of the Dragon Spawn Chronicles is complete and published, I’ve been working on Dragon’s Fall: Book Three. I already write the rough draft of this novel during National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in 2019. Lately, I’ve been reviewing it to see what needs to be removed, added, or rewritten. Plus, I’ve written the logline and back cover blurb to make sure the premise stays on track. Review them here and let me know what you think. Feel free to comment your opinions and any suggested changes.
Logline
To live up to his father’s lofty expectations, Prince Terkeshi submits to cybernetic enhancement and risks losing his humanity.
Back Cover Blurb
The Dragon Emperor must reclaim the supremacy of his grandfather and destroy his enemies. After the betrayal of his youngest son leaves him with the incompetence of his only surviving heir, he calls upon a cybernetic race to complete the construction of a planet-killing weapon.
Prince Terkeshi’s burden of living up to his birthright is compounded by the death of his little brother and his father’s escalating madness. He submits to cybernetic enhancements only to find there’s a cost that threatens his humanity. Will he live up to his father’s lofty expectations by becoming a merciless warrior or will he fight to go down another path?
Book Cover Design
I’ve already contacted the artist who did the dragons on the first two books, (Dmitrii Brigidov) to see if he can make a design for the this third book. Instead of a dragon, though, I want a cyborg. The image at the top of this post is not the plan. The plan is to have the head of the cyborg only and to have its style resemble the style of Dmitrii’s dragons.
What do you think? Feel free to comment below regarding Book Three’s logline, blurb, and cover. I look forward to hearing from you.
