Three unfinished novels wait for me to complete them, but which one to do first. I will give a brief teaser synopsis, like the back of a book, of each one and I invite comment as to which one sounds more interesting.
First, Woodrynde:
Setting-The Forests of Bedfordshire, England
Time-1146
Traveling the road through Bedfordshire, Gauwyn happens upon a small secluded village. He enters and soon learns of the town's plight. Remnants of the De Mandeville Bandits are plaguing the surrounding villages and Woodrynde has decided to desperately resist. Gauwyn decides to move on, it being none of his business that the village has doomed itself, but it soon becomes his business. A gritty story of simple people defending their simple way of life, Woodrynde is an earthy and uncomplicated tale.
Second, Raban/Rook:
Setting-The Duchy of Burgundy
Time-1016
When the overlord of the fief holds a tourney, an accident occurs which banishes Raban from his life as a serf. Forced to live with men he was taught from a infant to despise, he must learn to live by luck tempered by his wits. The attempt to live where there is no place for a man proves to be a challenge, and the injustice of luck causes events that drag the characters unwillingly along the story.
Third, Unnamed Fantasy Novel:
Setting-The continent Rilya
Time-Four generations after the Archipelagic Migration
Dalinar is a stable boy at the country estate Terrings. When he must fallow a runaway horse and it leads him out of Chaldom and into the Tordon, where he becomes involved with creatures called Equicors. When he is discovered he and his friend Rilek runaway rather than die. With the help of many friendly creatures, they must make an incredible journey if they want to help their endangered country.
From the intimidating but good Equicors, to the cruel tribal Ism, from the steadfast Dwellers, to the terrifying demonworms, Rilya houses a wide array of creatures and civilizations, both good and bad and everywhere in between.
So, if you will, please leave a comment on which one sounds the most interesting to you. I would greatly appreciate it
Rooks of Burgundy
Rooks of Burgundy is historical fiction set 1016/1017 in the Duchy of Burgundy. Raban is a young serf farmer in a small fief. Spring is freshly come and the world beginning again, and so the story opens.

You know my vote is for Raban, however Rilya is a close second.
I can't decide--so you better do all of them. I think Raban because I've read more of it, but I like the setting of Woodrynde and the concept of Rilya. So you better finish all of them! I just lile to be helpful
This is Elizabeth as Courtney again.
I have to say that if I were in a book store reading the blurbs, I think it would be pretty close. I think Woodrynde would get my attention first, but honestly it's really difficult to choose. And seriously, you kind of have to work on whatever you feel inspired by at the time. They all sound cool, I'll have to read them sometime.
