The Scots Crusade, Part Seven

Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, and Part Six. Last time, things were going pretty well in Northumbria, with my Viking enemies crippled and the realm greatly expanded. But! No rest for the wicked. It’s time to work on the succession. First of all, that means having a male heir, ideally a single […]

Django Wexler answered Sage's question: Hi! I know it’s been over four years since you released it, but I was wondering if Netherwings would get a sequel? I’ve looked around but I can’t really find any information. Thank you and have a nice day! Sadly, the answer is no. Audible published that one, so it's on them to order a second one and so far they haven't. Makes me sad, because I really like that story! Maybe someday.
