Uncrowned Lines - No Context

9/16/2019

SPOILER WARNING: I am obligated to inform you that these lines are technically spoilers.

They have been selected for the purpose of intriguing you without giving anything significant away. I think of this post as kind of like a "trailer" for the book.

But those wishing to remain completely spoiler-free might want to skip this post as these are real lines that are really in Uncrowned.

For the most part.
~~~
​Iri was robbing the Abidan.
~~~
​[My model for her doesn’t have a lot of testing,] Dross said. [Should we think about this a minute? That’s a good idea, let’s think about it.]

“Begin!” the Overlord called.
~~~
Information requested: Luminous Queen Sha Miara, Monarch of the Ninecloud Court
 
Beginning report…
~~~
The next thing Ziel knew, his hammer was covered in blood that slowly dissolved into light.
~~~
​​“Let it be so!” Eithan said triumphantly, and then he strode toward their waiting room. “Come, Yerin! Let's get ready to beat our new friends to death!”
~~~
​Lindon had never before been so worried about Little Blue's opinion.
~~~
Yerin coughed. “Who's telling you I'm afraid of anything? I agreed, I agree, I'm agreeing now.”
~~~
The Sword Sage is a wiry man with messy hair, half-lidded eyes that make it look like he’s falling asleep, and tattered black robes. Six sword-arms hang limp from his back, and he draws his white sword back. He’s about to lunge forward.
~~~
The Burning Cloak sprung up around Lindon, a flame of black and red surrounding his body, and the dragon advanced.

Uncrowned: September 26th!

9/5/2019

Did you guys not know that I put out my pumpkins, skeletons, and cobwebs on September 27th? I call it "Scary Day."

I can see now how it might have been misleading to suggest that the book will be released before Halloween, but to be fair, this is before Halloween.

The Uncrowned pre-order is now live and with it the official release date, so go and pre-order! ...if you want to!

Otherwise, follow this and my other sites as the pre-order period unfolds and we gradually release news and content in celebration!

Stealth Post: Uncrowned Description

Emriss Silentborn, Memory of the World.
Tiberian Arelius, the fallen Patriarch.
Akura Malice, Queen of Shadows.
Seshethkunaaz, King of Dragons.
Reigan Shen, Emperor of Lions.
Luminous Queen Sha Miara.
The Eight-Man Empire.
Northstrider.


The Monarchs, the most powerful sacred artists on Cradle, rule with unquestioned authority. They are mysterious and distant, and catching a glimpse of one is privilege enough for a lifetime.


Now, they have all gathered in one place, bringing their heirs and greatest students together for a competition to determine whose successor is the best in the world:
​

The Uncrowned King tournament.
