I'm going to be joining NanoWriMo this year and I'm a little stoked/terrified because I'm going to be writing the first installation of this little story featuring Rakkit and Rheima and their (mis)adventures. This is the temporary cover I'm using for it, and you can follow my progress on the official NNWM website here: https://nanowrimo.org/participants/re-campbell

And here's the synopsis of the story (I'm terrible at synopses so please bear with me ^^;):

In the world of Anima Mea there are Twelve Great Pillars: Vagor, Vendere, Angarius, Parva, Faber, Pinnae, Ignis, Aecor, Ungulae, Onus, Domesi, and Mythid. Together these Pillars make up the House of Orl, a harmonious empire populated by creatures of every species. At the center of this empire lies the Pearl, a sentient artifact believed to be the source of all magic in the world and the ultimate ruler, responsible for choosing a new emperor or empress from among the Pillars every generation.

Or that was how things used to be.

The Pearl has been missing for 500 years. The descendants of the last Mythid empress formed a monarchy that was never supposed to exist. The Pillars are in constant conflict. What's worse, the last threads of magic have begun to die and mages all across Anima Mea are losing their power.

So how does a not-so-ex-assassin hare and a hunted naga priestess fit in to all this? Well it's a funny story. And not the "ha-ha" kind...
