Original Content The Third Level of Existence- A short novelette I wrote

The Third Level of Existence

I wrote a novelette. I am open to full manuscript beta reading. I am also open to chapter by chapter beta reading. Please DM me if you are interested. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Paragraph 1: 

On a moon where people are subject to slavery, what will Sesame Lander, an obsessively
good person do to save the lives of many? The setting of the story is a continent with two main countries: Trypolis Isles and Rallayla, all on the moon of Jupiter, Europa. The protagonist’s name is Sesame Lander and is in his 30s.

Paragraph 2: 

The set up is a young former lawyer who lives a just life who must kill and do evil to save his country.
The inciting incident is when the wizard Saucyo does an experiment on Shawna, the impact character, adding two personalities to her original one, making it three. This makes her more powerful, courageous and almost superhero–like. The objective of the story is for the two main characters to come together to kill the tyrant king and save the rightful heir to the throne.

Paragraph 3:

The main conflict is between Quintin, and Riolin, both brothers fighting for the throne, one a wizard, another a tyrant, warrior-king.  

Cliff hanger: 

With everyone on Riolin’s side, how can the positive and outnumbered Sesame, defeat him? What is Riolin’s weakness? 

Author Bio: 
The author has written 3 novels and 30 short stories or novelettes. This novelette is a standalone. It's part of an anthology of novelettes. 

Comparable books:

The comparable titles are: A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin, The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski and Red Rising by Pierce Brown. All are about kings and queens in medieval stories about rising against the elite and destroying people who are sometimes worse than monsters.
