Along with basing on who my characters make my stories seem similar to as well. This is what my story is about and I shall add this in spoilers. > **Project Red's Summary** > > Jorildyn Calverstone is a wealthy heiress who left her family to pursue becoming a Knight, but because she failed the Knighthood Exam, she winds up working at a knight guild taking on odd jobs. That changes when she retakes the Knighthood Exam again which lands her as an Arch-Knight. However, Jorildyn has a huge secret that she isn’t willing to share. The cold, hard reality is that Jorildyn is a Ravakalyn—a fallen Saint (gods in the world of Alagossia) who is searching for her Saint Key and trying to raise the ranks within the Knighthood Union Alliance organization, so that she can steal the Saint Key which is rightfully hers. Along the way, she will make friends and rivals while pretending to be this caring and duty-bound heiress turned Knight. Though she isn’t alone as an Aelynthi-born (a person resurrected into a demigod) named Anjan Terris is trying to climb to greater heights in the KUA and making rivalry with Jorildyn. This is the story about how an evil and manipulative villain is trying to reach the top to seek her revenge and an anti-hero who wants nothing more than to understand themselves and to seek the truth. How will these two fair once the truth about themselves comes to light? This is their story. What do you think this story is similar to? What are your thoughts on it? The goal is to traditionally publish this book so I need all the understanding and help that I can get. Thoughts and feelings? ---

This is high fantasy, I’m guessing? You could search Amazon, B&N, etc. for high fantasy about knights and see what comes up. Also maybe high fantasy about guilds or saints or demi-gods, etc. ---

Your story summary is similar-ish to the Dark Angels’ and The Lion’s (Dark Angels’ Primarch) origin story…with a Science Fiction setting… https://www.youtube.com/embed/WVFALcBDva0?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=PLx6N3LVwgba2fGwLtaMz_zwekt7ON85mz Oh, for reference and story clarity, a summary of the size and power difference between a human (knight) and a Primarch. ![image](https://storage.wackywriters.com/original/3X/5/3/53884702b0f5101125ba3dc9e9cc394acaef6041.jpeg) ---

It’s not high fantasy, it’s epic science-fantasy. ---

I don’t know what that is. Are you referring to Warhammer 40k or something else entirely? ---

Yep. The Horus Heresy era Warhammer 30K / 40K storyline. ---

You could start with looking for some science fantasy novels, but closest I can guess is maybe The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe, which reads sorta like an epic fantasy but the setting is far-future. The second I’d maybe take a gander on is Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson, which blends magic with cosmic backdrop, sorta close to what you’re describing as science fantasy (which is typically a subgenre). ---
