Debut Novel Book Deal & Chaios Updates (A Palace Near the Wind eARCs & Preorder Info)
|
What a way to end off the year truly! This book has gone through so many revisions (and even more to come when we get into the editorial process) that it makes me both excited and nervous to share it with you all. I'm excited to say that my debut novel will be officially forthcoming with Titan Books in 2026 in hardcover! I'd written AN EMPIRE ABOVE OPERA as a standalone, but somehow, I also have a prequel planned for it—AN OPERA OF SALAMANDERS, which will be set in the far past of the same world. I've already got my cover brief sent in, and I'm so excited to share the LOST LEGACIES series with y'all in 2026/2027!! No one tell my agent and publisher, but I may also be considering a #0.5 in the series rather than a traditional sequel—a side event that takes place after the events of OPERA told at novella length. Official Announcement links: Titan Instagram, My Instagram, The Bookseller On A PALACE NEAR THE WIND, we're officially a little over three months out from publication, which is absolutely wild! I'd first written this novella between 2021-2022 and the second in the NATURAL ENGINES SERIES titled A RIVER FROM THE SKY will be written in 2025. I'm very curious how these two books from the same duology will read given the gap in between which they were written. For those keen to grab an eARC or physical proof of PALACE, do check out the links below!
