Thanks so much! I love Zynda, too <3 And yes, that's how it works in my head, that Marskal will live a long, extended, and healthy life with Zynda. I think I touch on this in The Fate of the Tala or The Lost Princess Returns.

Sorry - I just now saw this question! So glad you loved the book *and* my other books! Book 2 starts with different characters, but does add to what happens with Oneira and Stearanos - and Book 3 definitely does!
Jeffe Kennedy
Since Nic and Gabriel have POV chapters in the ensuing books and their story continues in those books, then no, I don't really plan on doing more books that are ONLY them. However, the next books *do* feature them and you get to learn how their relationship evolves :-)
Jeffe Kennedy
Yes! After I finish writing THE STORM PRINCESS AND THE RAVEN KING, book 4 in Heirs of Magic, I'll continue Bonds of Magic. At least another, maybe more! So glad you enjoyed :-)
Jeffe Kennedy
Thank you so much! I love hearing that :-)
And you never know... hearing what readers like you want to have always makes a difference!

I know enough French to read your question, but not quite enough to answer well, though I'll try! Romans un, deux et trois: oui! Quatre, cinque et six? Je ne sais pas maintenant. J'esperaias c'est vrai! Thank you for loving le premier tome!

If you go to this page https://jeffekennedy.com/series/the-u... and scroll down, it gives the reading order. But it's 4.5 in The Uncharted Realms and 7.5 in the world (with novels as whole numbers and novellas in between). :-)

It will be a trilogy! I just turned in revisions of THE FIERY CITADEL, which continues Con & Lia's story. It will culminate in an as yet unnamed third book. There's always the possibility I'll spin off into secondary characters, too. :-)
Thanks for letting me know you loved it! Hooray!!!

I only write under one name, so I'm not sure what you mean?

Sorry I didn't see this sooner! Bad author, no cookie. Next is THE FATE OF THE TALA. Probably out in October. Other than that... I don't want to spoiler! But I believe all your hopes will be answered :-)
Jeffe Kennedy
Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't see this sooner! Eep. My bad, really. Did you already get started? Most fans of the series say start with THE MARK OF THE TALA :-)

Hi Chanda!
I'm so sorry that I somehow missed this question! It hit while I was at WorldCon and it must've slipped through the cracks. Did you read it already? I have it on good authority that THE PAGES OF THE MIND is a good place to enter the series, but the purists would have you start with THE MARK OF THE TALA for the biggest bang. :-)

Thanks for the nudge - I have updated the website! The good news is that these are almost up next on my schedule. At this point I believe #5 will release in December and #6 in February. I'm 95% certain that I'll be able to still to that schedule!
Jeffe Kennedy
Thanks for the offer, but I'm set for now :-)

So... there's debate about this among my readers. I almost feel like you should ask THEM, but I'll tell you what I see them saying. :-) Overwhelmingly I see the advice that The Pages of the Mind is a good place to jump in - that you won't be lost and the book starts the new direction just fine. That said, most of the die-hards recommend starting with The Mark of the Tala (book one in The Twelve Kingdoms) for the best payoff. I know quite a lot of readers started with The Pages of the Mind and then immediately went back to The Mark of the Tala. Not a very helpful answer, maybe!
Jeffe Kennedy
Yes, it will be either narrated from Karyn or Zyr's POV. All of the novels in the series so far have been from the heroine's POV, but I'm kind of tempted to do Zyr's this time. What do you all think?
And his hair is long because he's a wild kind of guy and he looks hot in my mind that way :D

Oh, thank you!!! I'm just thrilled that you're loving it. :-) And yes, the next book will be about Zyr. Good sleuthing!
