Synopsis

I've been here before... This darkness... A rusty '53 Bel Air frame covered by undergrowth with the German license plate 'W-MM 9615'... Something moved!!! For God's sake! That thing moved!! It's... a woman... Her face looks gaunt... She looks like... a witch... Is she dying? Oh, my God, Is that a wedding dress? It is almost disintegrated by time... I can still see the silk sleeves with the crystal elements. She still has the tiara and veil... She has a dead bouquet, a pearl bracelet, and a turquoise handkerchief in her hands. Is that thing glowing... a wedding ring? I feel the urgency to... touch it...

WHAT THE!!!!!! – [The witch sat down in an unexpected violent movement. He fell and started screaming, trying desperately to run away from that place. The witch was shaking uncontrollably, screaming repeatedly in an unsupportable high pitch...] "VAHN!" "DAH!" "KORA!" "VAHN!" "DAH!" "KORAAA!!”

A powerful German Consortium operating in London... The Interpol conducting a worldwide investigation on plundered archaeological objects. A legend around a ring and four sacred objects that if reunited would trigger devastating events for humanity… The new Professor at Birkbeck never imagined that his recurring nightmare was going to lead him to a fast-paced thriller involving complex characters with supernatural powers fighting against their own demons, as well as against the worst of the human greed.

Audience

The Ring Of The Witch: The Curse Of Apollo' was a project that originated in social media back in August of 2016. I wrote and released the original story through unedited chapters week after week in one of the most famous social networks - getting thousands of views each week (as well as hundreds of comments). The commercial edition of the story was published on May 12th, 2017 after a successful campaign on a publishing-focused crowd-funding platform, and it's available through a worldwide network of 39,000 booksellers, online retailers, and libraries.

Competition

The book competition is in the "Modern adaptations of Greek Mythology" category, and a list of relevant competing books can be found at ' https://www.goodreads.com/list... '.

The story is much more than just a modern adaptation of mythological characters living among us... or a frenetic search of four items that would create chaos for humanity if reunited. Through its characters and their dialogues, I intended since day one to deeply explore some of the key cultural values and social stereotypes we experience every day in one way or another. That required an intensity beyond narrative prose, and that was the primary reason the book was not written as a traditional novel, but in a style that resembles more a stage script (in order to better immerse you in the center of the story). I also integrated several spiritual and transcendent aspects of the human experience within the framework of modern psychology.
