A Guest Post & Cover Reveal by Melissa McPhail
One Often Overlooked Element of World-Building
A Guest Post & Cover Reveal by Melissa McPhail
Every author should understand world-building. Whether engaged in the writing of genre or literary fiction, an author crafts a unique world with each novel. Even when set in the present day, the novelās events layer a new dimension upon our visible reality. Itās the dimension of those characters, of that story, but it should feel as real to the reader as his own tangible environment.
One overlooked element in world-building is religion. Often when religion isnāt factoring into the plot of the story, the author may fail to mention it. Yet when we take a look at how religion influences our daily livesāeven when we ourselves may practice no particular faithāitās clear that religion of some nature is part and parcel to nearly every culture that inhabits this earth.
Religion influences our daily interactions with others (moral codes, traditions) and for many, it determines at least in part the way they spend their mornings, nights or weekends. It even influences the words we swear (or curse) by.
Religious symbols and icons are prevalent in society, from cathedrals to dollar bills to the skylines of Earthās most ancient cities. Sadly, in todayās culture, the subject of religion provides unending fodder for politicians, litigators, pundits and malcontents; yet these detractions aside, the belief in something greater than ourselves continues to offer spiritual succor for a majority of the worldās population.
Whether you as the author practice any faith, itās impossible to escape the cultural foundations the worldās religionsāfrom the pagan to the divineāhave established through the centuries. Why would life be any different for other cultures, other worlds, other lands? Or for your magical vampire hunter detective?
Donāt overlook this valuable tool for making the world of your novel more real to the reader. The inclusion of some religious mentionāwhether mystical, magical or mythologicalācan bring greater depth to any story and create instant bonds of reality between the reader and your characters.
With that said, happy writing!

In Alorinā¦Ā three hundred years after the genocidal Adept Wars, the realm is dying, and the blessed Adept race dies with it. One man holds the secret to reverting this decline: Bjorn van Gelderan, a dangerous and enigmatic man whose shocking betrayal three centuries past earned him a traitorās brand. It is the Adept Vestal Raine DāLacourteās mission to learn what Bjorn knows in the hope of salvaging his race. But first heāll have to find him.
In the kingdom of Dannymā¦Ā the young Prince Ean val Lorian faces a tenuous future as the last living heir to the coveted Eagle Throne. When his blood-brother is slain during a failed assassination, Ean embarks on a desperate hunt for the man responsible. Yet his advisors have their own agendas, and his quest for vengeance leads him ever deeper into a sinuous plot masterminded by a mysterious and powerful man, the one they call First Lord.
In the Nadori desertā¦tormented by the missing pieces of his life, a soldier named Trell heads off to uncover the truth of his shadowed past. But when disaster places him in the debt of Wildlings sworn to the First Lord, Trell begins to suspect a deadlier, darker secret motivating them. Honor-bound to serve the First Lord in return for his life, Trell continues on his appointed path, yet each day unveils new and stranger secrets that eventually call into question everything he knows.
