Work in Progress

I love this because it gives me the freedom to write a bunch of "bad books." This story focuses on magical books, where if you have a page, you can perform minor magic. If you are bound to a book itself, the possibilities are endless. The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by perpetual storms and follows a young "storm rider" on his journey through the world.

Follow "heroes" who obtain magical powers after being bound to enchanted Doors. Who knows what is on the other side? While bound to the Door, the Warriors are virtually immortal and obtain magical talents. However, the Door itself compels them into action. Refuse the Door's bidding and you die. Follow these Warriors of the Door over thousands of years as they do good and bad deeds with minimal control of their destinies.

Everyone has an Aura. These Auras give you magical powers, but most are minor talents. What we consider someone to be talented at (gifted at drawing, music, sports, etc.) is what this society sees as magical gifts from one's Aura. A select few have strong Auras and lead society with great magical power. A boy is born without an Aura. We follow what happens as he learns that his Aura is different. Instead of projecting outward visibly, it projects inward, with dangerous consequences for those around him.
