Fionn is the wielder of a legendary Tempest Blades, and he is blessed - or cursed - by The Gift. Though his days as a warrior are long over, his past leaves him full of guilt and regret. Life, however, has other plans for him, when he agrees to help a friend locate a missing person. Gaby and Alex never expected to become heroes... until they met Fionn. As an ancient evil arises and consumes the land, Fionn must help them to master their own Gifts and Tempest Blades. Together the three of them and their friends will chart a course aboard the flying ship Figaro to save the planet. Will Fionn's past be an anchor, or will he overcome the one failure from his former life before time runs out? In a world where magic and science intermingle, anything is possible. Including second chances.
My book can be easily adapted to film or TV/cable series:
-
It's a highly visual, fast-paced, fantasy adventure story with dashes of science fiction.
-
It has a diverse cast, with relatable characters, detailed world-building and an emotional core in its plot, about second chances in life.
-
Each character has a defined personality.
-
The style of dialogues fit modern tastes (think Avengers-style kind of dialogue)
-
While the book is self-contained, the story forms part of a growing setting, from which short stories also exist. As well, there is a sequel currently being written.
-
The way the plot and the narrative are structures can work both in a feature film or in a serialized tv show, as each chapter works in a similar manner to a tv episode, with events ordered as scenes. It would be relatively easy to translate to a tv/movie script.
-
While it can work as TV series or a film, an animated series would be a good option too, given its anime-esque vibe.
