It's here!!! I can tell you how happy I am to announce that the second book in The Warden's Son series, Blood of Vanris, has been released into the world. Book three is well into the editing process and almost ready for beta readers. I have a surgery on my ankle coming up at the end of the month, so maybe I can use that downtime to get through even more editing!

The book also has more spectacular cover art by Robert Crescenzio, and an updated map of Pandrea by Melissa Nash! (And a hopefully helpful glossary collaboration by Kasiel and me.)

Blurb for Blood of Vanris, The Warden's Son Book Two:

Kasiel’s healing injuries still trouble him, almost as much as the memories of what he did at the Hall in Katovan. Though he trains to become a better fighter and mind-crafter, a deeper understanding of the roles he is expected to fill makes it harder for him to come to terms with his place in Vanrian society.

Then the southern kingdoms emerge with a new weapon for fighting Vanrian mind-crafters. One that could change the course of the war. Kasiel must take a more active role in the conflict sooner than planned.

With his country’s growing need of mind-crafters like him, Kasiel learns what it really means to be at war, and what it feels like to lose. He is about to discover how far he’s willing to go to protect the ones he loves.
