I’m always interested in good fantasies, and I’m always interested in cool new ideas to get them to the folks that enjoy them. \u00a0In this particular case, I think we’ve found a really cool intersection. \u00a0Up until now, I haven’t heard about Inkshares. \u00a0But it’s a crowdfunding resource for writers that seems pretty interesting. \u00a0Just like with Kickstarter, nobody gets charged unless a book meets its preorder threshold, so you’ll never be screwed out of your reward. \u00a0From what I’ve seen, it’s still a bit of an uphill climb, but if you’ve got the talent, the drive and the ability to be personable, you can really hammer away at this new resource.<\/p>\n

Jamison Stone, the author of\u00a0Rune of the Apprentice<\/em> has all three in spades. \u00a0In what I’d call pre-production, he’s already delivered an awesome amount of supplementary material (the maps of Terra, Vai’kel and Devdan are pretty spectacular). \u00a0Of course, more importantly, what Stone delivers is a solid story. \u00a0Some free chapters of\u00a0Rune of the Apprentice<\/em>\u00a0are\u00a0up on Inkshares already.<\/p>\n

With a deftly written story, Stone leads his characters\u00a0into and out of danger, weaving a\u00a0thrilling thread that connects things with a lot of poise. \u00a0His story is clever, too, with ideas that you don’t see too much of these days.<\/p>\n

In a world where magic, technology, and nature have merged, the few who can control Runes hold dominance over all of creation. All naturally believe that Aleksi, a sixteen-year-old orphan, was blessed to be born with a Rune embedded in his palm, but that\u2019s only because they don\u2019t know the truth\u2014Aleksi\u2019s Rune is so powerful, it\u2019s killing him.<\/p>\n

Asura, a brutal emperor who uses Runes to conquer entire continents, will stop at nothing to kill Aleksi and claim the boy\u2019s power for his own. With his Rune burning its way through his body and assassins trying to cut out his heart, Aleksi is forced to seek out an infamous man wanted for crimes against humanity: Aleksi\u2019s missing mentor, Rudra.<\/p>\n

With visions of his parents\u2019 murder haunting his days and the prophetic whispers of a young captive priestess illuminating his nights, Aleksi will only be able to unravel the mysteries of his past, rescue the girl in his dreams, and defeat the most powerful warlord the world has ever known if the one thing keeping Aleksi alive\u2014his Rune\u2014does not kill him first.<\/p>\n

Rune of the Apprentice\u00a0<\/em>is currently still crowdfunding, but Inkshares gets you involved in some pretty interesting ways. \u00a0Because the funding period is so much longer, you can and should follow the production details a little more than you would with a traditional Kickstarter or Indiegogo. \u00a0But you can also earn credits on Inkshares by sharing your favorite upcoming books with other people. \u00a0It’s a novel idea, and I’d like to thank Jamison for showing it to us.<\/p>\n

You can pay him back by checking out\u00a0Rune of the Apprentice\u00a0<\/em>on Inkshares<\/a>. \u00a0You won’t be dissapointed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
