Can Rielle and her friends reach Jon before it’s too late, or will he be lost to the darkness, and Emaurria to the flames of dragon fire? The Houses see opportunity in a withdrawn king, and Rielle, Brennan, and Olivia fight to keep stability as they try to reach Jon, while Leigh finds himself damned and looks for the strength to save himself before he can save the world from the Rift.Īs the Houses and the war poke a sleeping dragon, they invite flames that could char Emaurria to mere glowing embers. Locked in open war against the Divinity of Magic, Emaurria is in grave danger and, worse, divided at its core. With the Order of Terra and the Tower of Magic now serving the Crown, Emaurria is stronger than ever, but the threats it now faces might lead to the kingdom’s undoing. There is a power in him, and a darkness, that threatens to consume him… for all time.

As he resumes his duties and his normal life, however, it becomes clear he is changed-perhaps forever. But she’ll fight until her last breath to save them both.Īfter Jon’s near brush with death, Rielle couldn’t be happier when he awakens. I'm back in fighting form! I apologize for the wait, but it's my goal to deliver you a story that will be worth it.ĭarkness stirs in the heart of Courdeval. Thank you for your patience as I went through illness and traumatizing personal issues. I'll aim for updates every Monday until we're there. But you'll know where I'm at every step of the way. My goal is early September, but my promise is not until it's ready, which may take a few days to a couple weeks. Instead I'll keep you updated on progress and announce when the release is coming in my newsletter and on my social media pages. Please don't worry when Amazon cancels your pre-orders-you won't be charged-and I won't be putting up another preorder.
It means I'm going to keep working with my beta team and my editors, but I'm going to postpone the launch. I could try to rush this, but this story has already taken so long to get right that I'm especially not going to start trying to cut corners now. The new draft has two new viewpoint characters with their own storylines that affect everyone else's, lots left to get right, not to mention needing to complete editing, revision, and proofreading. I've been working hard on getting this draft right, and early feedback from both of my editors and my beta team says that it's finally hitting the mark.
