As some of you know, I typically work on three novels at a time. (Keeps me from getting bored and quitting halfway through one.) The third novel I'm working on - and the one I'm focusing ninety percent of my attention on at the moment - is called Neverland's Curse. It's book one of a series and I'm honestly having almost too much fun working on it at the moment. Because I'm not good at summarizing things, here's the blurb I have for it:
" Acacia Darling is the descendent of Wendy Darling, the sorceress who first met Peter Pan. Her story, passed down through generations, was that Peter had kidnapped and tortured her until she could use her magick to get away. Still, there are rumors. Rumors that Wendy wasn’t the good sorceress she claimed to be. After finding an old diary that belonged to Wendy, Acacia discovers that the rumors were right. Wendy Darling had been evil. She had cursed Neverland with the darkest curse known to the magickal world. The curse, called Heart of Fear, filled the land with the very things its’ inhabitants were scared of. Cast in darkness and filled with war, evil pirates, and dark creatures, Neverland was now a cruel version of its’ former self. The moment she finishes reading the diary Acacia brings it to the council, a powerful group of sorcerers and sorceresses who rule the Magickal World. They decide that the curse must be broken and that Acacia must be the one to do it. Shortly after this decision is made, Acacia travels to Neverland and comes face to face with Peter Pan. There, Peter tells her the true story of what happened between him and Wendy. Wendy, Peter says, fell in love with him. Peter couldn’t return her feelings because Wendy wanted to return to the real world. Peter never would. The moment he told her this, however, she turned her back on him and cursed his land. Acacia’s arrival in Neverland, though, brings a revelation that no one saw coming: Wendy herself never left Neverland. She's still there. As Peter and Acacia battle her, they also find themselves falling in love with each other. Amidst falling in love and battling Wendy, the young couple must band together and protect their family.Together with the Lost Boys, can Peter and Acacia destroy Wendy and her curse? Or will she destroy them?"
The idea of an evil Wendy makes me incredibly happy by the way. And Wendy IS evil. She's not misunderstood or hurt...she's literally evil. A murderess in the later chapters of Neverland's Curse Book One. She's dark and nasty...and I just love her...almost as much as I hate her guts. My question for you guys is, is this something that people would be interested in? Or is it too far fetched? I'm already at the half-way point in the rough draft and I'm pretty happy with what I've got...but at the same time I'm interested in knowing how many people would actually read it if it were published.
Anyways, thanks in advance for the help.
