Images include a beefy brooch with intricate gold and garnet inlay, a hackling comb, an illustration of a funeral pyre, two ancient iron keys, runes carved on a bone, a stone relief of three seated women, a wooden loom with colored threads, an aerial view of a tidal island, and a painting of Hildeburh’s shadow-stepper.

So, what sort of novel is Finn’s Legacy?

This chart maps where Finn’s Legacy sits among historical and fantasy novels I love.

Hopefully, this gives you a sense of whether Finn’s Legacy is your kind of story. If so, pre-order the eBook.

#BookSky #historicalfantasy #FinnsLegacy

A parchment style chart mapping historical and fantasy novels along two axes: History ↔ Fantasy and Prose ↔ Plot. The upper left shows literary historical works like Hild and The Song of Achilles; the upper right shows literary fantasy such as Tigana and The Lord of the Rings. The lower left features plot driven historical fiction like The Winter King and Warlord, while the lower right includes plot driven fantasy such as A Game of Thrones and Dragonlance Chronicles. Finn’s Legacy by Chris Hind appears at the center-left to reflect its legendary history roots and its balance of prose and plot.

As a former editor and literary agent it's hard to say without reading the manuscript, but it sounds like the #genre is #SpeculativeFiction or the subgenre, #GaslampFantasy or #HistoricalFantasy. I'd probably stick with Speculative Fiction to be safe. Good luck, Peggy!

I’m excited to commission two maps for Finn’s Legacy. This video gives you a glimpse of reference material - historical shoreline, extent of ancient forests, elevation, route and site names.
