Hi Filipa! Thanks for reaching out and for your thoughtful review. The Divine Heretic series is unique among the SFF series I'm publishing through HTP. In the spirit of the classic sword and sorcery lines that inspired it, the series has an episodic format. Each story is somewhat self-contained, but there is a meta-story building in the background that rewards a chronological read.
I'm currently working from a seven novel outline that will bring Ruxindra's story to a satisfying conclusion. If the series sells well enough, I plan to take it much further than that. I have a lot of stories to tell in this setting, so I hope you'll stick around for many pages to come.
Book 2: What Lies Between is slated for publication on May 19, 2026, and should be available for pre-order early next year. Book 3: A Myrtle among Thorns will follow in Q1 2027.
