It will be a full-length novel (I'm aiming for 60k but we'll see how that goes!)

Lots more worldbuilding in this one, just building on top of what was already introduced in the novella. We'll be following the POVs of Everly and Basalt this time, but the book features a M/M/F romance. Yes, you read that correctly, and no, it is not a love triangle! I am polyamorous in my personal life and so I've always wanted to incorporate that relationship style into my fictional worlds.

I'm really looking forward to getting to the editing stages with this one so I can do a cover reveal. It's really pretty.(less)
