Did you know that these two series are actually related? Vyrathia is a Shard in the Sea of Clouds, but the series takes place approximately 200 years before The Joining! There are no nods to this connection currently, but there absolutely will be in future TWE volumes!

It's no secret that I love Castlevania, but lore-wise, Legacy of Kain is likely my favorite bit of vampire fiction. Which gives me a laugh, considering how much I absolutely *adore* my highly elegant and usually c*nty vampire settings, and then I come rolling out with this. 😂

Are you ready to begin a new adventure? WIZARD OF THE CRUMBLING TOWER, the first volume in my high fantasy novella series, THEY WERE ELVES, releases this Friday (Sep. 6)! Digital pre-orders are available now! Paperback will be available on release! books2read.com/twe1

A graphic similar in format to the first, but featuring the book's blurb. It reads: Janizel — a spellblade from the Kingdom of Frostheim on a journey of self-discovery. Aneya — a bard wandering the world in search of adventure. When these two elven women cross paths, unusual circumstances bind their fates and task them with releasing a cursed village from the grips of a vile wizard. Will they emerge triumphant from the wizard's tower, or be met with the same grisly fate as the spirit who pleads for their aid? Their chances are about even, but what of the tension wrought by the unresolved history between them?

A graphic with the series' blurb. It reads: The Impavidus Cycle is a dark fantasy trilogy about identity, family, despair, and finding yourself. Albtraum, a young daemon, awakens into the world of humans with no memory and no knowledge of his surroundings. His only guidance is the ghostly voice of his father - his only directive is to kill any human who crosses his path. But when he encounters a secret society of immortal beings who want to bring him into their fold, everything he knows will be challenged. He may be their last hope to end the corruption threatening the very foundations of the world... just as they may be his only hope to discover his own humanity.
