The tentative title for book one is:
Aetheria: World of New Beginnings
Book 1 – Lostwood Village
The first three books are written and have been going out to beta readers. Book one is in the editing process and being prepared for publishing as an e-book. I'm also hoping to start posting chapters here at a pace of two per week starting in September.
For those interested, here's the rough draft for the book's blurb:
"Having awakened as a spirit in the World of the Fae without any memory of his past, Raithe is convinced by the Queen of the Fae to possess the body of a dying half-demon boy. Rescued and adopted by an elite adventurer, he begins living in the unfamiliar fantasy world of Aetheria with nagging suspicions about whether the world he is experiencing is an illusion or reality."
The series will probably be enjoyable for fans of Japanese light-novels and other fantasy literature who tend to like crafting-type stories. The chapters average about 6000 to 9000 words, and unfortunately, the writing might be too difficult for ESL readers. The series does share many of the themes and tropes with light-novels, but it is coincidental and not an attempt at imitation. The story actually grew out of efforts to flesh-out the world for a game idea that I had a few years back, and in the process, it gained a life of its own.
I'll be posting more information as I get closer to making the first book available for purchasing.
