One Hundred Daughters is the second book of the Olympia Chronicles and a loose sequel to The Bloody Notebook. Although knowledge of the first book is recommended, this second book is also a self-contained story.
The writing for this novel was a completely different experience than The Bloody Notebook, whereas I started with a clear idea of the ending of TBN with a vague idea of how the characters would get there. For 100d, I had a strong starting point, and a vague idea how the characters would reach the ending. Whereas TBN has a small cast, this book has a much larger one and features a sea voyage in the tradition of the Argonautica or the Odyssey with a wide cast of colorful characters. Several known faces from the first book return, including fan-favorite Melita. Others make cameos, while most of the crew of the Endoxos are brand new characters that explore the world of Olympia.
So this was a fun, unique experience for me to create and discover this story. When I re-read it, and really had a blast. This story has so many twists and turns as it builds towards it inevitable conclusion. And the secrets each member has and keeps from the others.
One Hundred Daughters
A Prince without a City
Miltiades is the last prince of Ekkos, a city destroyed by a Titan over five years ago. To reclaim his crown and his homeland, he gathers a band of heroes—including the demigoddess-sorceress Melita, a drunkard captain, a dancer, a priestess, and a handful of dregs from the docks of Athenion. Together, they sail aboard the Endoxos, an old, rickety penteconter, to seek the aid of a distant nymph-queen. The gods watch their journey closely, for their own entertainment.
But will secrets and prophecies tear the crew apart before they even reach their destination?
One Hundred Daughters is available on Amazon and DriveThruRPG
