Whisperglade

This is one of four books to be published in November, just in time for Christmas.  November is "Genre Month" here at Sonder - there will be a thriller collection, a sci-fi collection, a romance collection and this - a fantasy collection.

​

Welcome to Whisperglade.

​

For ten thousand years, humans and creatures of myth have called this ancient land home. Kingdoms have risen and disappeared. Wars have been fought, peace has reigned, harvests have failed and fortunes have been made. Generations have lived, loved, fought, feasted, struggled, celebrated — and become legend.

​

Now we want you to tell their stories.

​

Your tale can take place at any point in Whisperglade's 10,000-year history. You might write about its earliest inhabitants, an age of magic, a forgotten war, an unlikely friendship, a family trying to survive a terrible winter, a prosperous civilisation at its height, or ordinary life in an extraordinary land.

​

Your characters can be human, mythical, magical — or something entirely of your own invention. Your story can be funny, frightening, romantic, adventurous, poignant, mysterious or wonderfully strange.

​

The only thing we ask is that somewhere, somehow, it belongs to Whisperglade.

Ten thousand years. Who lived there? What happened? You tell us.
