Five books are planned! The overall story pieces that were started in Book One should wrap up at the end of Five.
If I do more Ren books after that, I will do self-contained arcs (so readers who only want to read a five book series can do so). :)
Thanks, Smarrire!

Thanks, Shellby!!
I'm shooting for early May 2016. I should have a firmer date after the new year, though, and I'll update that here at the end of January. :)

(view spoiler)[I actually have been wondering about something since the first book, when Ren discovers that she's an Origin Mage, and I couldn't help but wonder about Christian: seeing as how they were twins, would Christian have also been an Origin Mage, or a weather mage or some other type of mage, like Dare?

(view spoiler)[Hi, Karla! Great question!
Ren is an Origin Mage because of how she can see, use, and form magic. Christian had a different skillset, but he too would have made a powerful mage, especially with the link between the twins allowing boosts from the other (Ren would have probably split open a magical vein to try and give him as much as she could, as often as she could!).
Christian had an immediate affinity for harnessing energy in that brief moment of time when he Awakened, and he was very physically and spatially gifted. He would have made a great combat mage, especially with his ability to lead and work with a team (before maybe going into politics and benevolently ruling the world!).
Christian was social and popular, but still kind. Careers blending charisma with humanitarianism would have been a great fit.
Ren thinks he would have done some serious damage with weather magic too, in combat and in the games that weather mages play. Weather mages have popular sporting events where they use their practiced abilities to get a puck into an opposing goal -- hail, pinpointed lightning, wind, sleet, forming ice in front of the puck to make it slide faster, etc. -- and Christian would have rocked that. :)
