Megaera Lorenz answered L Monster's question: Hello! Do you have any plans of continuing your Shabti universe by, I dunno, maybe writing a Porphyrio redeeming arc? This is me trying to manifest it. <3 Oh wow, I only just now saw your question hiding among all the generic Goodreads-generated ones! 😭 I am working on another book in the Shabti universe right now, with a different main character (someone you've met, and most of the original cast will See Full Answer

Quotes by Megaera C. Lorenz (?)

“His world was suddenly much bigger and stranger. It was as if a door had been wrenched open in his mind, but he could see only a vast, shadowy expanse beyond it, with baleful, indistinct forms gliding through the darkness.”
― Megaera C. Lorenz, The Shabti
