About the Book

**Note from The Author Written 4/15/2021**Hey, I'm not really happy with this book. Do I regret writing it? No. All three of the Foreteller books were personal writing experiments that I thought were good enough to be self-published. There are aspects of the series that I really do enjoy and will continue utilizing for my future projects; however, these were written from 8th grade to my last year in High School. Ignoring the typos and structural problems, there are other issues with the books. In particular, I'm not happy with some of the representations in the novels. Let me get this out of the way: Trans people are valid. I have so much respect and love for the trans community and all of the struggles that they go through on a daily basis. As a fourteen-year-old, I had very limited experience with trans people, but I was interested in writing a character who was transgender. Jasmine was this attempt. My intentions were to make a quirky side character who would swoon after Erebus and he would be weirded out by her over-affectionate personality and her persistence. The issue is that Jasmine leans into some harmful stereotypes of transwomen: Erebus being overly grossed out by her is one. Additionally, her being trans is constantly mentioned for no plot reason. Erebus straight-up deadnames her at one point. It was at the third book, that I realized that this was an issue and I wanted to rectify it by having Erebus and Jasmine talk about her experiences. At that point, it was too late. I intended to make an interesting, fun character but ended up making another exhibit in the "poor representation" museum. For that, I apologize. I should have read more about trans people and their experiences before trying to write one. Going forward, I want to make a concerted effort in creating better representation. Writing Jasmine has taught me the importance of understanding my own biases and learning where I am most ignorant. I don't want anyone to think they're excluded from reading my novels or being a part of the community around my work just because of a character I wrote when I was fourteen. There are other reasons I'm not proud of these books like the confused messaging of the Paladin Order and how Erebus comes off as an enlightened centrist, but Jasmine felt the most important to talk about to me. Start with my most recent work. These are some of my youngest work and it shows. Thank you for your understanding and I hope some misguided writing in the past doesn't make you resent me in the present. Best Wishes, Thomas. - Synopsis - "We've all heard of Chosen One stories. How the prophecized hero will go out to slay evil, save the world, and rescue the princess. But what if there is no Chosen One? What if there is no true evil to slay? What if the world doesn't need saving? What if the princess is a bloodthirsty demon who wants to rip people's entrails out? Yet, problems arise and are told within prophecies, written down by a Foreteller, chosen every century to take on this burden. Whose to deal with these issues when they come up? Well, with no hero, the Foreteller would be the logical choice to solve these conundrums. Erebus Contendra is the most recent Foreteller but has fate chosen wrong this time? Perhaps a skinny, teenage wannabe poet isn't the best choice for this responsibility. Is this young man even worthy or willing enough to face the trials ahead? So-called Paladins oversee the human world "protecting it" with routine purges of fairies and demons. All traces of the fantastical are wiped from history. How can Erebus even attempt to defend against this ancient regime? Not alone but maybe, just maybe, with a mad demonic berserker, an unhinged skeleton, and some guy that punches really well to help him, he just may be able to stop the Paladins in their purging of all non-human races."
