The Legacy of Ogma

Science Fiction & Fantasy

After the thief, Halia, discovers a crystal sphere magically protected in a crumbling castle, she meets three other adventurers with their own mysterious spheres. Arwold, the knight, bears one on the hilt of his sword. With a sphere already in his possession, the sorcerer Ahriman enlists Xarun, a brutish warrior, to steal another one from the peaceful Arboreals. The four set off on a quest to find the final sphere, assisted by a master elementalist and his apprentices. Along the way, they battle demons, dragons, and one another. And they have no idea what the spheres have planned for them at the end of the journey.

How to start a story

My first few drafts of The Legacy of Ogma had an entire chapter before the current beginning. When an editor first suggested that I cut out a full chapter, I thought it was a crazy idea - so much work lost, but since following the advice I realize how much better this story begins. The reader is immediately lost in the forest with Halia. I'd never thought about how difficult it was to start a story, and now I have an even greater appreciation for some of the classics.
