MarkNEW The Giants TrailerMark Cheverton2020-12-31 | 25th novel from New York Times bestselling author
Brianna is a Giant, Stannis is Human, and the Scavengers want to kill them both for the secret they’ve uncovered. Can Brianna stop the scavengers from destroying everything they love, even if it costs her life?
Exiled from her home and sent to a school for malcontents and the unwanted, friendless and accused of a murder she didn’t commit, Brianna thought her life couldn’t get any worse; she was wrong . . . DEAD wrong.
Someone is stealing the bodies of giants and replacing them with scavenger-replicants, identical in appearance, but evil to the core. She can’t be sure who to trust; the giant next to her could be her enemy.
Who can she trust if she can’t believe her eyes?
No one will believe an accused murder, so Brianna’s only choice is a crazy and dangerous one—she must go to the scavenger home, the WasteLands, and find proof of their terrible plot.
With the help of two unexpected friends, a human and a dryad. Brianna travels to the WasteLands in search of the truth. There she will find deception, betrayal, and death.
Can she do the impossible and stop the scavengers, even if it means sacrificing her life?
Perfect for fans of the Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Maze Runner series, The Giant’s Giant is a gripping story of a dystopian world transformed by bravery, tolerance, and friendship.

I did not invent this process; many authors use it. I first came across this, partially in Jordan Rosenfeld's book, "Make a Scene" and in Larry Brooks' book, "Story Engineering." Both of these are fabulous books to help with plot design, but are serious books on writing. Younger writers may want to look at Potter/Mazer book, "Spilling Ink."
For those Pantsers out there who hate outlines . . . sorry, I was one of you at first, but finally came to the Plotter's camp.
