NEW BOOK RELEASE: "Prophecy of Honor" by Fred Waiss
NEW BOOK RELEASE: "Prophecy of Honor" by Fred Waiss
February 12, 2025
https://waterdragonpublishing.com/product/prophecy-of-honor/
A hundred years ago, an old man staggered out of the desert and found succor at Honor Keep.
After his recovery, he wrote for a very long time and finally presented his writing to the current Administrator, Honor of Honor Keep. That document is a prophecy of what will happen in the next hundred years to the family that owns and controls the Keep and the surrounding lands.
Now, the prophecy is nearing its end, and Collin, the current Honor of Honor Keep, must deal with the predictions for his own adult life: love, marriage, a son, and the war that Collin will win. The Prophecy is never wrong, but it is sometimes ambiguous.
Will the lives of Collin and his wife be the price of victory?

https://boskone.org/ Just when the protagonist is about to save the world, they trip over a love interest. Are romantic subplots the unavoidable clichés of storytelling or is that just life? Let's send Cupid's arrows flying and dig into the fine art of romance and whether or not these inevitable amorous detours enhance the narrative or lead it astray.

The Westin Boston Seaport District, 425 Summer St, Boston, MA 02210, USA
https://boskone.org/ Fantasies set in the past are growing ever more popular. Why do we love stepping back in time and sprinkling a little magic into the past? Could these same stories be told in modern times, or would some of that magic be lost? And when changing the workings of the known world by adding magic, is it still important to keep historical details correct?
