Survey time! So The Four Gods is the title for my upcoming series, but each book will have a subtitle (“The Four Gods: __________”) but I need everyone’s opinions and help on the subtitle for Book 1! Here are the titles I’ve come up with so far, but feel free to chime in with suggestions. The most popular voted subtitle will become the one that will appear on the manuscript when it’s submitted for editing and possibly the publication process, and the following books would follow the same trend.

1) The Four Gods: Xuantian Shangdi (Mystic Lord of Heaven)
—Each book would have a Mandarin subtitle that pertains to the respective god who acts as the protagonist of the book.

2) The Four Gods: The Mystic Warrior
—Each book would have an English subtitle that would pertain to a more obscure aspect of each god’s mythical identity (i.e. Fengge’s book has always been tentatively subtitled “Halo of the Sun,” since Chinese phoenixes were always said to originate from the halo of the sun.)

3) The Four Gods: Ascending Warrior/Warrior Ascending
—Each book would have an English subtitle that included the title of each god and a verb that pertains to the plot of the book/actions of the protagonist.

4) The Four Gods: Dark Soldier
—Each book would have the English translated title of each god, (i.e. Blue Dragon, Red Phoenix, etc.)

5) The Four Gods: Prince of the North
—Each book would have an English subtitle that involved one aspect of each god and the direction they rule over (i.e. Chonglin’s book would tentatively be titled something like “Omen of the West.”)

Opinions? Don’t like any of these? Have a suggestion? Comment with your choices! The one with the most votes will get to be the title of the manuscript before it’s shipped off for editing!
