Happy Storyteller Saturday! Your OC is sent to Pompeii 24 hours before the eruption. Do they try to convince people to leave? If so, how? Would they be successful?
Ooo thanks for the ask! I'll be answering for Now They Call Me the Plague, a gothic historical fiction novel set against the backdrop of the golden age of piracy.
Back during Eda's sailing days, she quickly came to care fiercely for her crew but regarded others with a general air of suspicion. She never lost her care when she decided to make permanent port at Thredfrost but still generally only bothers with those close to her heart. She'll likely do her darndest to get them to safety, but I'm not too sure about the rest.
Trance, on the other hand, is an absolute bleeding heart. I don't know how successful he'll be - he's not exactly the most convincing orator - but you will not be able to question his effort.
As the fright death sweeps the land, leaving a trail of lifeless sacrifices, a Dream desperately claws their way back to the Dreaming, having spent eternity trapped in the conscious realm.
The infestation’s merciless wake piques Trance’s macabre curiosity, spurred forth by his discovery of a ship that sails across the tumultuous currents of Nightmares and Dreams. They drag Eda, their retired-from-the-seas best friend, along with them as they set sail on the adventures of multiple lifetimes, unwittingly getting themselves irreversibly entwined with fates and forces far beyond their comprehension.
Now They Call me the Plague is gothic historical fiction set against the backdrop of the golden age of piracy. All that remains to be seen is how many more will fall at the altar of an unforgiving death.
