I always like a good origin story. It might be the most integral part of a character’s journey–the reason for their existence. It shows their humble beginnings, their true motivations, and more often than not, creates that connection which gets a reader continually root for their success, even if the character’s actions and intentions might grow questionable later in their quest.
I’ve done something a little out of the norm with my “Champion of Psykoria” series. While the first instalment, “Champion’s Rising”, does act as a sort of origin story for Snarmis Sigmus, the second book, “Avatar of Death”, shifts the focus away from Snarmis, and instead shows the (much darker) origins of a different hero.
