In between finishing up the first draft of the sequel to The Seeds of Dissolution, and starting in on the second draft, I wrote up a quick adventure dealing with Origon Cyrysi when he was a young, fresh majus, looking for adventure.

I had a lot of fun with this one, and I’ll be giving it away for free, to help people get into the Dissolutionverse. So, I contacted Justin Donaldson, the artist for Journey to the Top of the Nether, to put together a cover for me. I thought it came out really well!

In other news, I’ve also got an update in non-Dissolutionverse news. The book I sold to NineStar Press last year is coming out, most likely in late April 2019!

Here’s the premise:

FRUITS OF THE GODS is set in a land where magic literally grows on trees, fed by the bodies of dead magic users. Mistborn’s magic meets Ancillary Justice’s identity crisis, inspired by Babylonian mythology.

When sisters Kisare and Belili uproot an ancient box in their owner’s orchard, they find a miracle inside: a fifth godfruit in a society that knows only four fruits blessed by the faded gods of the seasons. Slaves of self-titled nobles—men and women who can gain magic from godfruit—are forbidden by death to eat godfruit, but Belili has a secret hidden even from her sister: she can use magic. Emboldened by their treasure, the sisters escape their servitude and must depend on each other to survive in a society that cares little for those with no wealth or authority. With the help of a people slowly losing their culture and technology to the powerful nobles, the sisters lead an infiltration of the highest levels of noble society. The fifth godfruit may bring harmony to the world, but the sister’s only hope of succeeding lies in deciphering ancient mythologies surrounding the gods’ original plan for their people.

I hope to get lots of eyes on it, and if you want to be an ARC reader for this book (or any of my books), just send me an email at wctracy@williamctracy.com
