Introducing Yamuba
I’ve started writing Bane War: Warlord again. I care about the story, characters, and overall series message too much to stop, even if I’m the only one who ever reads it.
Yamuba, our antagonist, is a Daz (god of death) cultist hailing from Crameia. She loves walks in dark alleys, knives, katanas, ritual sacrifice, dark spells, and tasty meats. She’s capable with weapons or witchcraft, and clearly irate with Dragan. Wow, their medical garbs are torn and bloody. What could’ve happened? Anastasiia drew this cover.
The back cover is AI generated with Midjourney, showcasing Svathora, sacred mountain of Drenaglen’s barbarians, home to clan Kryludi, water domain warriors. A shrine sits atop, containing spoiler stuff, so won’t get into it for now 🙂
The book is about 60% done, though I’m not happy with the overall tone. It needs darkening and more suspense. So I’ll spend some time cleaning up what I have, then finishing the gaps. My writing style is all over the place. I like writing chapters, switching to other parts of the book, and coming back later. It keeps my ADHD brain happy.
May freedom’s wing carry you.
