I wanted to take a moment to share a quick update: Book Two is actively being worked on.

After wrapping up the first novel and sending it out into the world, I took some time to breathe, reflect, and listen—to early readers, to feedback, and to my own instincts about where the story needs to go next. That process has only confirmed one thing: this story isn’t finished yet.

Book Two continues the journey with higher stakes, deeper consequences, and a darker focus on the forces that were only beginning to surface in the first book. Characters who survived are changed by what they endured. Choices made in Book One ripple outward in ways that can’t be undone. Nothing resets. Nothing is safe.

Tonally, the sequel stays true to the sword-and-sorcery foundation of the series while leaning harder into its epic and grimdark elements. The world expands. The mythology sharpens. The cost of power becomes harder to ignore.

I’m currently deep in outlining, drafting, and refining—making sure the next installment doesn’t just continue the story, but earns its place. I’m taking my time to get it right.

Thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed, messaged, or simply followed along. Your support genuinely matters more than you know, especially at this stage.

More updates soon.
