Fiction Idea #3

Title: Border Wars

Genre: fantasy

Protagonist: Cuba Grace, a boarder patrol dwarf. She is a small town dwarf working in the ruby mines. She dreams of life in the big city working on the border patrol. Her cousin works as a border dwarf and his tales are all that keep her going. When she finally get reassigned she is overjoyed.

Other Main Character: Darius Jones, treasure hunter looking for the Goose that laid the golden egg. He stumbles in Faerie. After he returns to the human world he blabs about what he saw prompting

Antagonist: Nixon Crane, billionaire industrilist wanting to take over Faerie.  

Setting: Most of the story is going to take place in Bordertowne. The city at the edge of Faerie that butts up against the human world. Bordertowne is all magical all the time. Its the only city in the realm where human contraptions work right along side magic. Not sure what the actual city is going to look like just yet, but its a work in progress

Plot: Cuba Grace has her dream job. It got her out of the mines and into the fresh air. She is a border patrol dwarf. Life is grand and she enjoys working the border. Fae are allowed to travel between the worlds with a passport, but humans are not allowed in at all. Until Cuba meets Darius. A dashing adventurer that stumbles into Faerie looking for the fabled goose that laid the golden egg. He doesn't find the egg, but he returns to the human world with tales of what he found in Faerie. This piques the interest of a certain Nixon Crane who wants to fund Darius going back to Faerie and exploring. He brings in his own private army in an attempt to overthrow the Fairy Godmother. Its a battle for freedom and her very life for Cuba. Will she sacrifice her heart for her godmother?

Point of View: Third person from a variety of people but Cuba is the main character so the majority of the book will be from her point of view.

Story Notes: I just can't remember where I got this idea from. I think I was watching or reading something and the idea popped up into my head. Not sure where this is going to go. Might have to sit down and plot this out. The idea seems a little one dimensional right now.
