queen-mihai : queen-mihai : queen-mihai : How old is Annabella? I have a challenge out for the world My main character’s name is Annabella. She’s an immortal sorceress. Or an immortal superheroine. For a while she was an immortal queen, though when we meet her she’s not doing that anymore But here’s my question to you: Just HOW immortal is she When we meet her in Meet Annabella, it’s the seventh cycle. She’s been through something, seven times. Or at least 6 before now. What is it? What’s the significance? Are there hints to point at an answer? The challenge is to find the answer to the question: How old is Annabella at the beginning of book 7 “The Master’s Quest: The seventh cycle, Meet Annabella” 7, 2, 3, 5, 6, 4, 1, 8. This is the release order of the books in The Master’s Quest This is the order in which I’m telling Annabella’s story. The answer will be revealed slowly over the course of the first 7 books There is one theorist who has guessed within something like 50% of her age, based on the first two books. I did not expect someone to get that close, that fast. This has not changed my resolve. I’m writing the stories the way I’m writing them. There will continue to be hints at the answer to this question as each book comes out. The winner of this challenge will be the first person to correctly guess Annabella’s age to within what I deem an acceptable margin. I literally can’t tell you what the margin for success or failure would be because That Itself Would Be A Hint Rules: 1. Your guess must be a number, in years, based on the lore within the “Master’s Quest” series 2. You must include examples of hints you’ve plucked from the books to back up your reasoning 3. To avoid forcing purchases, you are allowed to consult the Master’s Quest community 4. You are allowed to pester me and try to coax hints from me (within reason) 5. You’re allowed unlimited guesses, BUT, each guess must be accompanied by book lore backing up that guess (so no, you can’t just go “is she 1? Is she 2? Is she 3? Etc”) The prize To be clear, the following pictures are not representative of the actual prize as the actual prize has not been put together yet. I LITERALLY still have to finish writing the books first AND create the artwork I’m promising Now, for those of you seeking a bit of incentive to engage in this theory hunt, the queen shall humbly provide: If you correctly guess Annabella’s age, with lore to back up and support your guess, I will personally send you 1. The Master’s Quest Universe You’ll get all 8 books, in hardcover, with custom edge-painted pages 2. Artwork I create custom artwork for each of my books. You will receive at least 2 pieces from each entry in the series and one piece custom made for you And finally, Btw again again again I have not made the case yet these are just examples 3. Custom display case The prize will all be sent in a custom display case decorated with Master’s Quest themes This is a big challenge. One question, one answer, one winner. Will it be you? Can you coax a hint out of me? Did I accidentally leave one in this announcement? Get your copy of The Master’s Quest and join the challenge Or just bug me and I may just add you to my server where you can see the previous guesses and maybe get an advantage on others ❤️ Either way, I look forward to hearing your theories! Time to annoy yall about this more Ha ha ha no one has figured out the clues to Annabella’s age! And you can’t! You won’t! I’ve hidden the hints and you can’t find them! I’ve even given hints out on my blog over the years! And on reddit! But the best hints are in the books themselves! That’s the best hiding place! You’ll never think to look there! I’m totally not just teasing 🤭😅🤣 I have full faith YOUR guess is gonna be the winner
