Happy Book Birthday @michaelbookcult.bsky.social 🍻 War Song has a sequel now! If you're on the fence about reading the Dreams of Dust & Steel, I highly recommend checking out the prequel novellas. Absolutely brilliant stories that'll leave you wanting more. Just look at that gorgeous cover 🔥

So glad you liked it, my man. I've got good and bad news. Bad news: it'll be a minute before I finish the series, but when I get the chance, it'll go fast. Good news: I'm focused on the epic and massive Dreams of Dust & Steel series. If you get into that, there are a lot of book coming your way!

Ya'll, I finally fuckin' caved. From "Death Dance." "The later into the night they went, the greater the chance of an altercation. With this in mind, Danath found the seediest dripping bucket of an inn he could--which just so happened to be called the Dripping Bucket."

If you've never been an ARC reader--that means you get an advance copy of a book in exchange for an honest review--or you've never been one for me, then it might be time to rectify this egregious oversight. Come have a blast with The Cult! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
