Return to the Land of Title Woes.

This seriously feel like the Neverending Story of Title Woes...

So, I've recently come up with a new title for my current WIP, deciding to re-name it THE PRODIGALS and I like it...

But fact is that this WIP has been unofficially sticking around under the working title LIGHT for the four years that I've been working on it, so I'm having considerable issues adapting to the new one. Anyway, now that I'm actually pondering the possibility of a sequel to this with the tentative title KING OF COWARDS, I'm more tending towards sticking with my initial idea and merely naming this novel EMPIRE OF LIGHT.

Just worried that it's a little bit too generic/unimaginative, but we're talking dystopian fantasy here where the setting and worldbuilding are actually quite essential to the story...

But yeah, naming the first book EMPIRE OF LIGHT and the sequel KING OF COWARDS would establish a cool title pattern. Any thoughts? Or am I confusing everyone else along with myself?

  2. I have to agree with parametric. I like Empire of Light better. I think that title would piqued my interest a lot more if I saw them on the shelf. :) Just my opinion.

    I really like King of Cowards too for the second book.
