Deril, Rella, Kadin, and Faina worked together to stop Halarik's return. But that was only the beginning. Now, more than ever, they must find a way to unite Sunweavers and Fireweavers. Firelord Atarin seeks another way to bring Halarik back. But even he doesn't know the truth about the world.
There was a war between the gods, but it wasn't the war everyone has learned about. To keep the dying sun alive, Deril and the others must navigate a web of lies and deceit and brave the Realm of Shade, a home to terrible monsters and powerful gods that Deril and the others didn't even know about.
If they fail in their mission, the sun may never return to its former glory.
Ryan W. Mueller is an author of fantasy and science fiction for all ages. He enjoys talking about himself in the third person (who doesn't?). Currently, he has written all four books of the World in Chains series, with the first, Empire of Chains, scheduled for release on June 30, 2017 and the next three to follow over the course of the next year.
He's a big fan of Brandon Sanderson, Brent Weeks, Jim Butcher, and many other fantasy authors. He first decided he wanted to be a writer at the age of 11 after he started reading Harry Potter. Between that and Super Nintendo RPGs, he was pretty much destined (or perhaps doomed) to become a fantasy writer, though he does like to branch out to science fiction occasionally. His fantasy is classic fantasy with modern twists. That is, you'll see a lot of familiar tropes, but he tries to put his own spin on them (hopefully with some success). For him, part of the joy of fantasy is the tropes, and as TVTropes would tell you, there is nothing wrong with tropes. It's all a matter of how you use them.
He enjoys connecting with readers and other writers. You can find him on Facebook as Ryan W. Mueller, on Twitter as @RW_Mueller, and on various fantasy forums including Fantasy Faction, SFFWorld, and Best Fantasy Books.
This is the second book in my Sunweaver series. I'll get more information out as we get closer to the release data. If you haven't already read Sunweaver, please give it a chance. It's different from my World in Chains series. There's still a quest, but it isn't the only focus of the novel.
For the moment, I'm projecting a release data around the end of October. There will be some major editing work to do on this, but I'm confident I can get it done because it's a shorter book.
