I have been wanting to post this for a while but sadly I've had other posts I needed to do, but here it is and you guys can hear about my latest WIP.


Blurb


Here is the rough blurb


In a world where the government destroys all religions including Christianity and destroys countless families. Two siblings who are split up young grow up in different circumstances.

Alex (Alexa) is the older sister. after witnessing her parents' murder she finds a home with a Christian couple. She leads an illegal bible study which when discovered changes her life forever. Finding an old base in the deep woods where she hides out she finds the truth and also her brother.

Tristan grows up with his non-believing aunt and uncle. Tristan loses all hope for things to change and in rage, he hacks into the government database. But like many things that happen when you do things out of rage, he fails to hack around the guarded security system and ends up bringing the military to his own house. What he finds in the database leads him to the same place as his sister.

Skylar grows up in a dark past where she becomes hateful of the supreme leader. After following Alex into the Woods she helps discovers the truth and falls for Alex's brother Tristan. She tries to get rid of her hate and rage and replace them with hope and love.

Anakin is torn between his heritage and his love for Alex who shows him compassion and faith. Having looked up to his father a great military general. He believes it's his destiny to follow in his footsteps. But when he uncovers the dark side of his father he fears it might be too late.

This story shows the difference between hope and compassion and rage and hate. It also shows God's love and standing strong on your faith. This is an action-packed romance-filled dystopian story.


discussion


It's still a work in progress and I'm still figuring out the whole idea. For instance "Skylar grows up in a dark past where she becomes hateful of the supreme leader." I'm still trying to figure out what that dark past is, and how I can have a bunch of characters in the woods and make it still interesting😂. (So don't expect this to be published next week)


Skylar is my favorite by far and then second is Anakin. (and yes I totally stole that name from Star Wars 😂)


So how did this book become a thing? good question, I was hanging out with my cousin and I think I was eight and I had a notebook, and I told him to give me an idea to write about. We ended up coming up with this complicated story and I said I would write it. Well, a few years from then and I'm finally writing it. I changed so much but still kept a lot too, and honestly, I love it so much.


What do I work on more this or A Summer Away? Right now they are pretty equal but once I finish the first draft of ASA I'm planning on putting my full attention on this.


What's your main inspiration? Music and Pinterest, "Cease Fire" by For King and Country really describes this book. And I've made a few Pinterest boards for it too.


Thanks for reading and I'm planning on doing a few posts about this from time to time!
