Morgan Reilly's Blog

The Book of Water released in June 2024, and now, one year later, we’re welcoming the fourth book in the series. I’m incredibly humbled and excited to see these dreams realized in such a significant way, and we’re only just getting started!

To celebrate, I’m hosting an ebook sale on the first three books of The Dark Library Series. From June 8 to June 12, the first three books will have a BIG discount! This is your opportunity to stuff your Kindle in preparation for The Book of Wolves!
