Wouter K asked Karim Soliman:

Hi Karim, I just read your short story in the advent of winter and hunger for more. I'll defintely add some of your books to my TBR but it seems your short story takes place in a different world (or at least the vibe of the blurbs is different from the story I've read). Any chance you will publish something in this universe with the Egyptian pantheon and more?

Karim Soliman Hi Wouter!

Sorry for the late reply. Somehow I missed the notification :)

First of all, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed my short story Frozen Hell. And yeah, you're right, it takes place in a different world from my other books and the vibe is also different. While my Goranian Universe might appeal to Game of Thrones fans, Frozen Hell gives that mythological vibe of John Gwynne's The Shadow of the Gods.

To answer your question: Yes, I'm releasing A Ballad of Vengeance on 2 May 2025. It's the first book in a new series that follows the future (as well as the past) of Aqen and Birna. Hope you enjoy this one as well :)
