For week 24 of the Year of Stories, you’re getting treated to an offbeat ninja adventure, Council-Approved.
Kashi is in training, learning everything he can from his ninja mentor, Toru. He hopes to apply soon to become an official, council-approved ninja, part of an elite society, but before he gets there he has to survive his next practice mission. Supposedly this one’s going to be a lot more challenging than the past few cakewalks.
If you’re a fan of adventure franchises like Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, and Uncharted, you’ll find my newest reader input opportunity very exciting!
You can help create the hero ($5), the villain ($5), and the treasure they’re both hunting ($3) for a new adventure story that I’m going to write.
See the post in the Store for full details.
