If you like fantasy with a twist of sci/fi maybe you'd like to give this a try...
Ever since she was a child Sigrid has viewed the alien wars over neighbouring world Bartral, and found it peculiar that she alone is the one witch who sees them. Little does she know that the raging war, her ability to view them, and the truth behind the old fable 'The Tale of the Banished Trolls' are linked by one single creature; someone Sigrid knows well...
Excerpt
Times are changing. Everybody has a story to tell; precious few are willing to share what they know, even with their own families. Perhaps they fear reprisals; perhaps they feel the past is better left where it is. They pretend ignorance, that they can retain the sense of safety and security they so treasure. But for the creatures of Zircondia, and one race in particular, there is to come a time when trouble rears its unwanted head. The inhabitants of that centre world know the planet is an oasis, their galaxy the prize in frequent, ferocious battles between beings from neighbouring solar systems. Still they feel safe and secure. The rules are simple: don't dredge up the past; don't get above one's position in life; don't question the rules. Despite this, life is never, ever boring.
However.
Someone is about to disregard all the conditions governing life on Zircondia; someone who sees the truth as a far greater triumph than safety and security. Success will not be easy. The past will have to be examined; creatures questioned. But lives are well-kept secrets, hidden for many thousands of years from even those closest to them. Victories are celebrated, embarrassments are buried quickly.
One creature seeks to unearth it all.
