Battles of the Brokenhearted: The Life and Times of Quest City

Battles of the Brokenhearted: The Life and Times of Quest City is a 180,000-word fantasy-adventure about a king trapped in a war with his son on the planet Spirita. To nullify his disadvantage, the king clones eleven humans from different walks of life by sampling their souls. He then raises them as his own children to become the mightiest heroes Spirita has ever seen. Later, the king returns the soul shavings and asks the humans to bring their entire selves into the conflict. In response, this motley crew of broken hearts struggles with memories of war and a sense of family that flourished in a place they never physically experienced. Yet, they also contend with each other and the reality of being ordinary people with antiheroic tendencies. But what ultimately hampers their reply to the king’s appeal is Quest City: a new metropolis that veils a dark heritage where mobsters keep city hall on puppet strings and the meaning of family is as blurred as the bullets that dictate the town’s policies
