My next influence was the impeccable exploration of the cycle of violence in the video game, Last of Us Part II, which has since become my all-time favorite game, and, in my honest opinion, is the best story ever told in interactive media. The expansive world and complex, layered characters in Game of Thrones and the cutthroat politics that impacted who would end up on the Iron Throne inspired the richness of the Blood Debts world and powerful families all vying for power in the magical contemporary New Orleans. There were several inspirations for the story of Blood Debts that I took from my own experiences with some of my favorite stories. How did you go about crafting this family saga that has all the trappings of epic and contemporary fantasies? I am so honored to have author Terry J, Benton-Walker on my blog to talk about the origins and evolution of this debut which will delight fans of epic fantasy, contemporary fantasy, and young adult books in equal measure.īuy Links: | Unabridged Books | Libro.fm Building Out Blood Debts Despite having opposite relationships with their generational legacy, Cris and Clem come together to solve a thirty years’ old mystery while the other powerful families have no limits on the things they’ll do to stop them from inheriting a throne upon which they belong.
