As mentioned earlier on my Substack page (please subscribe), this is the first volume in a series. I am more than halfway through the editing now, so within a few weeks, it’ll be on Amazon, and it will be illustrated. Each chapter will have one or more illustrations, depicting what is happening in the respective chapter. I’m very thrilled about that and hope the reader will enjoy it, too.
This series is different from my previous trilogy, “Ismaril’s Journey,” which I very much enjoyed writing, as well. This new book is still within the same category but more “complex” in worldbuilding and character development. Some of it is even based on Swedish mythology, such as that of the Sky-born. Still, the story is heavily layered, so the reader can build their own conclusions of what it is about (those who have followed my nonfiction work may get a hint that our human history, among other things, is buried in the narrative, as it was in “Ismaril’s Journey”).
I am working ferociously to get this book published, so I’ve been a little absent lately. If you enjoy fantasy and appreciate deeper-layered messages, this book might be for you.
Love,
Wes
