Coming in 2021: The Battle for Majadan


What happens when heroes fail? 

What happens when victory turns to ash? 

What happens to those left to pick up the pieces?

The city of Majadan was the crossroad of nations, a haven for travelers, and the birthplace of heroes. For two thousand years we stood as a bastion against the hordes of the Madlands and their masters, the dreaded Wight Lords. After centuries of strife between the defenders of civilization and the Madlands’ undead kings, General Aidan Arkwright – the hero of the age – vowed to bring an end their reign.

When Aidan returned victorious, we citizens of Majadan threw a party fit for the gods – a celebration that few would survive. I was there when Aidan’s triumph drowned in blood and fire, and the fight to reclaim our city began. This is the tale of the end of the world, and the struggle of those who survived.

Here’s the plan with which I’m tempting fate: I’ve been working on this story on-and-off for a very long time. Next summer, it will see the light of day. After much gnashing of teeth, rending of garments, and enough revisions to make your eyes bleed, I hereby announce:

THE BATTLE FOR MAJADAN

The Blood Prayer (June 1, 2021)

The Bone Collar (July 15, 2021)

The Ghost Cauldron (September 1, 2021)

I’ll drop more details as those release dates approach, such as covers, excerpts, and when the books go up for presale. There will certainly be print copies for sale, but my intent is to make the ebook edition of The Blood Prayer available for free.

Stay tuned! And be warned: These books will be bloodier than a GWAR concert. Bring popcorn.
