Something dreadful happened on Jerimiah’s 8th birthday. Four years later he returns to where it took place and now strange things are happening that can only be described as magical. What happens next will change everything he knew about the world.
After reading these excerpts, I am TOTALLY down with this. The Saints, the Cypher, and “up shifting” are all concepts that hooked my interest right away. I really want to learn more about them. I enjoy your dialogue. It feels very down-to-earth. It made the characters instantly relatable. In the first scene, where Dastou is giving his backstory, I found the interjections of the other characters a bit confusing. It wasn’t immediately clear exactly what the relationship of the interjecting voices was to the main narrative. However, the backstory itself grabbed my attention right away. The image of a little boy alone by the streetlamps in the rain is great. I’m looking forward to reading more of this. This story and its world feel unique. This could be something really special.
