MYSTERIOUS TEMPLAR
An ideal novel is an invented prose narrative of significant length and complexity that deals imaginatively with human experience. Its roots can be traced back thousands of years, though its origins in English literature and language. There are some moments in history that continue to pull people in. When you set out to chronicle the imagined inner lives of real people—or the imaginary people of real times and places—it’s an attempt to see through the veil of time. Historical fiction is a genre of writing that seeks to do this by creating imagined stories or characters within real historical contexts.
