Natalsa
of the Brim
Order
of Terima Chronicles Volume 1
by
Chad McClendon
Genre:
Fantasy
In
a world where witches have been revered, a cataclysmic evening
changes everything.
Natalsa,
the last witch, must find out what has robbed her of her power. But
more than this, she must protect the world from the new order that
has arisen, and cure a sweeping disease that threatens her new
home.
There
is evil to be undone, and Natalsa may have to sacrifice it all, in
order to save those she loves.
She
started to cry immediately, and begged the powers of the air for
their blessing. She was screaming as his body began to hurdle towards
the earth. Fervently her lips danced with words of supplication, and
towards the end of his descent they turned to demented screams. His
body crumbled perversely, and the fear was the last emotion on his
face. She could not handle what was happening, and she began to fall
back into the crowds.
This
was all her fault, she should have surrendered and they would have
lived. "Why are you doing this?" She shouted at the
heavens. She spat on the earth, and cursed the winds. "Do you
want this power to rule? Should I spill my blood here and give myself
to him? Fucking work damn you!" She spun around, kicking the
dirt and knocking crates and debris over. "Answer me! Years I
have gone without answers and before I die I want to understand!"

Tell us about a favorite
character from a book.
For a long time, one of my favorite
characters has been Bobby Garfield, from Stephen King’s Hearts
In Atlantis. Bobby is a good friend, and thinks of others. There
are many elements in his story about what a child sees, and what
adults see, and how the decisions we make as kids shape who we are
for the rest of our lives. I see some of my good, and bad habits, in
Bobby, and I feel like parts of his childhood mirror mine; with the
exception of the bad guys going after my old friends.
I think about the character in three
ways:
Young Bobby is not wanting things to
change.
Adult Bobby is realizing the past
belongs in the past, and it may not have been all we remembered.
Nostalgia is the mind-killer, think of it too long, and you will
value nothing of what you currently have.
