Meet the ROTN Characters!
If you follow me on Instagram - @riseofthenomads.author - you know Rise of the Nomads is my debut YA Dystopian novel! At approximately 96,000 words, it’s undergone round after round of edits, beta reading, and is currently out on submission to literary agents!
I packed it with all the tropes I love - political intrigue, slow-burn love triangle, “coming-of-rage” premise - along with elements I longed to see in YA epics - steampunk-inspired world, a best friend who’s believable as a love interest, and true feminine rage. Basically, I wrote the book I wanted to read.
You might be thinking, “Sounds great and all, but… who is the book actually about?”
Let me introduce you to…
The Cast of "Rise of the Nomads”
Adelina Castille
Seventeen, lower class slums survivor, Academy engineering student, piracy weapons supplier to the black market, third Nomad volunteer
Jude Calvey
Eighteen, upper class University student, daring aviation prodigy, Ada’s childhood best friend
Davian Fletcher
Nineteen, physical strength and fluent in numerous weapons, coy but burdened by secrets of a dark past, second Nomad volunteer
Volumnia Fonte
Nineteen, former Academy student, disappeared for last two years, close-combat artist, blunt cynic, first Nomad volunteer
Belthazar Stoker
Twenty, tech genius, nervous demeanor but fierce in defense of his team, compassionate and accidentally humorous, fourth Nomad volunteer
Mycroft Saxon
Head of the Nomads, vigilante conspirator, “fallen from grace” upperclassman, fierce in pursuit of national liberation, mentor in many ways to Ada and teammates
Big personalities, drastic differences, lethal secrets, tons of drama… Sounds like a good story to me!
