I can’t believe we’re already here, but it’s 5 days until July 1st, the eBook release date for Hymn of the Ancients Vol. II: Blood of the Demonheart.
I’m really psyched for this novel, I think it’s easily the best I’ve written. And I’m hard at work on HotA 3, so the next volume is already coming down the pike. As for Blood of the Demonheart, Leonel Anglian now is on a path to find out the truth his father was exiled and died for, and alongside him as a companion is the last person he’d ever expect to see. Every writer knows writing blurbs is a painstaking science, and here’s my initial blurb for Blood of the Demonheart:
Leo Anglian and his companions never in a lifetime thought they’d end up here. Having discovered priceless relics, a long-forgotten truth of their past and the true history of Demarest, they are faced with an impossible task: sell these ancient relics without being killed by Awakened cult of demons, the Cantry Church that have branded them heretics, and the Twelve Divines of the Ancients that have returned to the world. Oh, and try and save the world from the encroaching tides of darkness, if they can get around to it. All while a war for the crown of Ellaria and the oncoming threat of the orcs returning to Demarest ferments around them. No big deal.
I can’t wait to hear from the readers. Happy reading y’all!
