Once Upon A Time…
Enter the Realm of Fable, where goblins, elves and sylvan spirits dwell in the deepest shadows of the forest beneath the wicked Witch Queen’s spell of eternal darkness.
Nox Arcana invites you to immerse yourself in a haunting soundscape of bewitching melodies, eerie sound effects and pulse-pounding orchestrations as you explore an enchanted land of dark fairy tales and childhood nightmares.
Hey everyone, thanks for staying with me. Life got in the way of my novel this week as I’ve been paving the way for change on several fronts.
To make it up to all of you, I’ll be working on two chapters for next week and there is some exciting research I’ve been focusing on. The good news, is that things will change very quickly for Sophie and you’ll quickly understand more about why I’m considering this to be a “fantasy” book. You’ll also meet one of my favorite characters (I’ll give you a hint) - his name is “Thunk.”
Have a great weekend everyone, and thanks again for taking an interest in this story.
As part of Sophie’s adventures, she’ll learn a bit about both the world of her past and the world of her present along the way. Argentum is designed to explore these worlds through chapter breaks that will be broken out into “pieces.” I struggled with where to place the prose; but in the end I decided to leave them distinct.
Enjoy!
Hi folks,
Thanks for stopping by and reading The Violet War. Just to let you know, my goal with this project is to make this book as readable and as entertaining as possible for you. As such, there will be times where I’ll go back in and tweak material because I’ve found that I’ve gone comma-happy or I went too fast in some parts. This book is more about an evolution than a grand finale, so stay tuned as I post more for Argentum to develop a story I’ve fallen in love with.
Truly, this is a living, breathing document that will continue to be shaped as I go along. Thank you for taking the first steps on this journey with me, I appreciate your support.
Happy reading!
I am happy to announce that Chapter One of Book One is live and ready for you to enjoy. Feel free to read it at your leisure. The first book in The Violet War series is dubbed Argentum.
In this chapter we meet the main character, Sophie Miller, and her fiance, William Sands.
Thank you for visiting my site. The Violet War is a site dedicated to a novel series by Monica Valentinelli, written in modern times. Alchemy, fantastic creatures, and sinister plots are part-and-parcel to this series.
