Overview
A Dance with Daedra begins with the trials of a teen, Amari, as she strives to break free of the fate the Greater Daedra weave about her, but without knowing their motives,a perceived move towards freedom may only be another step further into their web. Her journey is entwined with that of the Dragon Born's path through the aftermath of Alduin's Fall and the mysteries of her family, thought long dead and buried. In her search for answers and freedom, she discovers what it is to be human and that limits are meant to be broken.
Her only hope is that the rivalry and pride of the Daedra exceeds even that of man's. If she can play them against each other, she just might survive this Dance long enough to discover the truth behind the ploys of the one who started it all: Hermeaus Mora, The Demon of Forbidden Knowledge.
Caption: The girl was drawn by YurikohYamaky. Hermaeus Mora screen shot was done by NDC880117. Merging the images and tonal changes were done by me.

I've added two tags to your TOC. ADwD, Exuro Have a look to see if you want to add any others. Don't forget your tags as you'll only hurt yourself in the long run.
Have a think about adding a picture to your TOC later on to spice it up a bit so it's more eye catching.
Sotek.

Thanks! I just read your other comment, maybe I'll make another cover with a Disney princess theme of her skipping through the woods surrounded by necromantic forest critters.

Woot! Finished the 1st arc for my story. The end of chapter 7 marked 50 pages, which is a good milestone for me, although I have written a report about concrete that was 25 pages longer...
There will be a hiatus before I post the next chapter. I want to take this time to review my writing as a whole and flush out my outline. There are certain points I want to happen in the story and I want to make sure they are setup and foreshadowed well.
I have also been neglecting a lot of great stories on this site and have much catching up to do. I am working on some drawings as well, but I lost my stylus and am waiting for my new one to arrive.

It's always great when a first arc is completed and 50 pages is solid, solid, solid. Especially when they are 50 quality pages. Bleh, lol, I feel like that will never happen with me. It's completed over at Steam Forums, but not here. Book 1 is nearly complete there, but I get tired sometimes and school is looming. Usually after the first week of classes I settle in and then get creative again.
I like your story a great deal. Very interesting tie to Hermaeus Mora and the aftermath of events in Skyrim. So many of the Dragonborn protagonists are a stone's throw from becoming just that and I like the characters you've created.
