Everything Bianca

In addition to researching the collective view of necromancers I did some research on 'the Hero's Journey.' I wanted to see how I could use it in the rewrite of my own story.

Once I reached the tail end of my reading and note-taking I noticed a reflection on how a male is often the one on the journey.

Well, my protagonist is a girl, a woman in her late twenties. Oh, yes, and it turns out she's a necromancer. She's a necromancer in a world where the ruling class of sorcerers have wiped their corner of the world free of necromancy and flesh out any new ones by driving them insane.

Nona, our heroine, has learned to live with her paranoia, hallucinations, and anxiety just long enough to discover the truth about herself and her kind.

And her quest? To bring about the freedom and resurgence of necromancers.

It began as one of my several experiments on how to tell a story from the perspective of a 'villain' as the hero. No one seems to like necros very much, so they were perfect. And yes, Nona, when I'm done with her, will be a name others will fear to speak.

Let the boys fight for truth and honor and glory.

My Lady Vengeance casts a very dark and very long shadow. She's such a sweetheart at the start too. She doesn't even know what she will become.

Just like a real hero!
