I don’t even care that I already reblogged this because seriously, how is this not a masterpiece painting hanging in the Smithsonian? Everything about this photo just says Romanticism to me

You have made a BAD MISTAKE, my buddy, my guy, because now here are 1600 words about this novel. More stuff is here in the tag.
Right, so, remember how I write novels when I’m pissed off about stuff? Like…I got pissed off about the lack of happy F/F ships with superpowers and wrote a novel about that. And I was pissed off about misuse of all-powerful sorcerers (Merlin, I am cranky about the show Merlin), and I wrote a novel about that. And I was pissed off about use of psychic powers and Antichrists and Apocalypses (*glowers at SPN*) and I wrote Falls the Shadow, this novel. Kind of by accident. Like. I meant to write a fifteen, maybe twenty, page thing playing with the idea of a character who had visions of the Apocalypse. Smash cut to eighteen months and 250K words later…
So yeah. The basic premise of this novel is that Sam Lightworth and her older brother Oz have been the best hunters in the country since they were kids, until it came to light during a hunt when she was fifteen that Sam has precognitive dreams. Since most hunters don’t really have a concept of grey areas (such as a human girl with visions of the future) Oz takes the logical solution of getting his baby sister the fuck out of the life before someone can kill her. Cut forward a year and a half, Sam’s been in hiding at a boarding school and, for the first time in her life, she has something like a normal life, with a normal friend (Kit), and normal demands on her life. She hates it. When her brother turns up, bloody and battered and bearing news of their dad’s death, it’s the best thing that’s happened to her all year. So she and Oz leave, with Kit in tow. They also pick up Michael, an old…friend who met Sam exactly once when they were both kids. She broke his arm and he cracked four of her ribs. Naturally that…happens. The majority of the plot rotates around Sam, Michael, Oz, and Kit learning about their places as the Four Horsemen.
