I wonder if they are hoping this will die down enough since OA made their fics private and will try to spin the narrative. But this whole saga is 🫠

He's remarkably patient. Unfortunately for him...Princess Caeryth tests it daily. ✨ Meet Mael, the love interest of Book 2 ✨ Every conversation with Princess Caeryth becomes a debate. Surely it won't become anything more than that...👀 art: @anndr_art ______ #orcromance #monsterromance

She was raised to believe orcs were monsters. Unfortunately for her she can't stop arguing with one. ✨ Meet Princess Caeryth. ✨ She's returning to Beinn Ork to be by Aeryn's side for the birth of her nephew.

The Four Courts of Thiarra. Though united under one crown, each court has its own ruler, culture, and specialty. Some value diplomacy. Others preserve ancient magic. Some guide ships across the sea, while others quietly watch the future unfold.

Four recognized schools of magic are practiced among the elven courts: Mnemos, the art of perceiving memories preserved within places, objects, and bloodlines; Bréagsholas, the shaping of light, reflection, and shadow into illusion; Anáil na Beatha, a discipline devoted to healing and renewal; and

No verified Stone-sighted orc has been recorded since the founding of Beinn Ork, though some scholars argue the descendants of Druin may still possess traces of the gift. map created and designed: @fantasy.cartography

Interestingly, this ability is most frequently documented among the clans that dwell along the western coastline. Rarest of all is Stone-sight, the ability to glimpse possible futures.

Vira Wade @authorvirawade.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

While Stonecallers and healers account for the majority of documented magical practitioners among the orc clans. Far rarer are those born with Stone-tongue, which grants the practitioner an unusual compelling cadence of speech.

With Book 2 out of the way for the moment, my goal for June is get to The Chieftain’s Son at least 50% completed. I’ve been putting off sending my first newsletter because I want the first one to include The Chieftain’s Son as a thank you.

Vira Wade @authorvirawade.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Not as much as I’d hoped (currently 32% complete), but most of my focus has been on editing Book 2. Book 3’s outline is no longer a rough outline! It is significantly more developed (I’d say 75%).

Vira Wade @authorvirawade.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

There are so many different things that happen in this story that I think you’ll really enjoy discovering. (I’ll share one thing, though: we get to see much more of the elven courts!) I’ve also made some progress on The Chieftain’s Son.

I’m hoping that by the end of June, I’ll be ready to announce the title of Book 2 along with the character reveals. I’m just waiting for the character art to be finished. I cannot wait to share more about Book 2.

An ancient curse, however, looms over these people, and Khaeric's greatest burden is leading them through the fight for their very existence. As the line between duty and desire blurs, Aeryn must choose: the kingdom that traded her, or the monster who sees her as more than a prize.

Vira Wade @authorvirawade.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Expecting a brute, she is unprepared for Khaeric, a clanlord who is more honorable than the human courtiers she left behind, and whose patient strength challenges her every prejudice. At his mountain stronghold, Aeryn discovers orcish culture built on ritual, honor, and survival.
