WARNING TO WORTHY OF PUBLISHING USERS: This question contains spoilers to the end of my book, Forbidden Grey. If you are reading it on Worthy of Publishing, or plan to, this question will spoil the end for you.
I'm writing a book with no title at the moment. Here is a brief plot summary:
Civil war has struck in Oricadia. The vampires and lupine fey have risen against Queen Alyssa and King Irial, threatening to wipe out the royal family. Each faerie must choose their side, and the main allies of Alyssa and Irial are the fey and elves. It seems that the royals will triumph over the vampires and lupines.
But the vampires/lupine army is larger than Alyssa and Irial anticipated. As the enemy approach the castle, the Queen’s dark faeries and the king’s light ones prepare to face off with the opposition. However, there is still a problem: they may not win, and if they fall, the only heir to the throne, Princess Amira, will be killed.
Amira’s parents send her to a safe place with Kane, King of the Elves, as her guardian. Unbeknownst to the princess, the safe place is across The Pathway and into the human world. Amira attends a human school with Kane, does human work and lives a human life. Every day, Amira is further and further into her human masquerade, mainly because of Ash, a new friend she acquires. And every day, she and Kane get closer.
Meanwhile, back in Oricadia, one of Irial’s angels brings him news of a proposed truce. The vampires have stated that if Amira and Shadow, the Vampire King’s son, are married, the war will stop. Alyssa and Irial are reluctant, and refuse point blank to sell their daughter. So the vampires and lupines capture the King and Queen, and torture one of Irial’s angels into telling them that Amira is hidden in the human world.
So the enemy give the young princess an ultimatum: marry Shadow, or her parents die and Oricadia falls.
Soon, Amira is torn between her duty, her love, and the boy with a human heart…
I want to know a few things.
1. Would my story be better in first or third person in your opinion, and why?
2. I need a title. Any ideas?
3. Kane, Ash and Shadow are temporary names. Any ideas for better ones, or are they fine as they are?
