The Enchanter Heir--Coming 10.01.13

 

Shadeslayer's Shiv The Enchanter Heir

 Some of you have been wondering what I’ve been up to since I left off tormenting Han and Raisa and wreaking havoc in The Seven Realms. Have I been resting on my laurels? Eating bon-bons and raking in the cash? Jet-setting around the globe?

Um, no. Laurels are kind of prickly to sit on, anyway.

 I’m writing two more Heir Chronicles novels. The first of those is called The Enchanter Heir and is set for release October 22, 2013. I’ll be introducing some new main characters, as I’ve done before in this series, but readers of the first three books will get to revisit some old friends. I’m putting a new and interesting twist into the magical system involving a team of specialized Weir assassins known as shadeslayers who hunt the undead with ensorcelled daggers known as shivs. Some slayers are beginning to ask whether they are targeting the wrong people.

If you haven’t read the first three Heir Chronicles books, fear not! My goal with The Enchanter Heir was to write a book that a new reader can enjoy without having read the previous ones. That said, I hope you’ll go back and read the first three!

One challenge was finding a way to unravel the tenuous peace that was established at the end of The Dragon Heir. My personal tagline for the book: Peace just doesn’t work for some people.
