Its coming!!!

Finally the book you've all been asking for - Missals from the Dark - sequel to Letters from the Light. Available October 1st.

We pick up the story three years later. The climate is failing, Kohl is missing, Spectra and Governor Pallas are down in Melbourne bringing back true night, and a dragon riding numan is trying to kill Aggy.
