Hello all!! I have something new running through my head and was wondering if I could shoot a few questions your way!! So the idea is this, a young man was born in a prison, his mother is a political prisoner of sorts because she is dragon-spawn, a magical creature created by magic and the drinking of dragon blood rather than being dragon-born, born from the eggs of the Mother Dragon. The young man lives in the prison with his mother, but when he is 15, they execute her, but they cannot execute him because he had done nothing wrong, so they let him go and he wanders into a world he is unprepared for.
He meets a young woman who is a sorceress, and is the last of her kind to be able to read a magical book. Because of this, the Dread Sorceress is after her. She send her two trusted henchmen after the girl. Controlled by her magic, they have no other choice but to obey, for they are brothers, and if one disobeys, the other suffers. Failure in this mission is not an option.
As the sorceress seeks out the girl and the Dragon Mother seeks out the boy, survival becomes priority in a dangerous world.
So questions: I would like to ask, would this work better in a traditional fantasy setting, or could it possibly be urban fantasy? If it is possible to do an urban fantasy story, I have no idea where something like this would be set, or in fact the logistics of urban fantasy. I do not usually write urban fantasy and would be dabbling into places unknown, just like with erotica. Making it an urban fantasy and the two MCs a couple of some sort would be interesting (not erotic relationship, sex maybe, erotic or graphic, no). So thoughts on this. What do you think, where could it work? I am open to trying urban, it would be interesting. Also, in general, is this a good idea/concept? Anyway, let me know! You have my thanks!!
