Good news – the first book of my second series ‘The Raven Lord: Blackwing Fumentari’ is back from my editor! My husband was obsessed with the Fifth Counsel Lord (Roder) from the main series, Envoy to Lan’lieana, and wanted to know everything about him, especially his motivations. So after he attempted to write a short story and stalled as he realized just how much work it truly way, I took up the bones of the story and finished it with his help. (I had to know what happened!!)
The story has now taken on a life of his own, growing into a powerful tale of action and intrigue. It is set 30 years before the Envoy series, and explains just how the antagonistic espionage warlord got his start. For those wanting to dig into the trenches of the War Plains battlegrounds, you are absolutely going to love this series. Better yet, the story lends itself to a lot more morally-grey spice, as we start to get into Lan’lieanan politics. Basically, this new series story will not disappoint!
You can read it on its own, or read it in publication order with Envoy for the full scope of the world. (And never fear, I have Envoy books 2-4 drafted, if not quite ready to roll!) As for Roder’s story, I’ll share more details soon. Just know it is back from my editor and ready for some final touches on my end! For honor and glory!
