My introductory blog post was quite informal and probably an inadequate introduction to the novel. I have decided to take the time to outline it briefly here.
Infestation is a novel set in a fantasy world at a technological level similar to that of the Middle Ages. It primarily concerns itself with the Empire of Diovanalth and the peoples (the Keepers and the Raulan) populating the Girael forest. The Girael forest lines the banks of what is traditionally considered to be the Empire's eastern border: the Shorei River.
Religion and the supernatural are part of this world, however the prevailing opinion is that miracles are part of another, earlier time. Only the Keepers have seers who supposedly can predict the future. This is somewhat more accepted by Imperials than other claims, but for the most part the supernatural is considered to be part of the spiritual realm and does not belong in their everyday lives.
Feel free to comment on anything you wish. I will be continuing to post updates here as the chapters are posted on my site, with brief summaries like those above.
uni was pretty busy last week and this kind of got put on the back burner.)
