And Now... "Book III" Begins!
It’s Monday morning and it has been two weeks since the release of the short story anthology Eyes in All Shadows & Other Stories, which was the third book released in the Barbarians of the Storm series. However, the next book is the real third book in regards to what I’m calling the “saga books”… for lack of a better term.
The still untitled Book III will pick up where Book II - Atomic Beasts and Where to Kill Them left off. So, for those of you waiting to see how that adventure plays out, this will wrap up the two-story arc of Fenrik and Dan’s journey across the Sea of Effingrave to find the frozen scientist. As you know, however, they face serious peril, as they are in a region at war and must contend with a warlord that has been possessed by an ancient power.
Beyond that, the much larger arc will continue to be told, as the other group of heroes must contend with a new, serious threat that has already toppled a kingdom and has bigger plans for the world at large. In regards to the series’ larger, major arc, this will probably serve as the middle part of five chapters.
All that being said, I’ve already gotten to work at mapping out the plot and where this thing needs to go to lead into the fourth book.
The last thing I can say about this book, is that it will have the biggest finale yet. War is inevitable on two fronts. It’s also time for Dan to step up and find the hero within that he’s suppressed for far too long.
As things develop, you can expect weekly-ish updates here!
