It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is KNEW/KNOW

Here's an excerpt from The Siege of Druine, which fills in some important backstory about the characters in The Many Shades of Midnight - it's also free to download on my newsletter.

#bookqw #writingcommunity #indiefantasy 💙🪐📚

Front cover and excerpt from The Siege of Druine for Book Quote Wednesday prompt KNEW/KNOW “I knew your father. Did you know that?” There was a knife in those words. Storn saw it in the way Alyas froze, colour leaving his face. Haki tilted his head, taking in the reaction the other man was too tired to hide, and he thrust that knife deeper. “I was there when he won from the emperor the right to claim any reward he could name. He named the Ado blades.” It was only because Storn was watching so closely that he caught the tiny twitch at those words. Haki was watching just as intently. He laughed. “Oh yes, your father asked for them. He never told you that, did he? We all expected the emperor to strike him down for his presumption. Those blades were the greatest prize in all of Qido. But do you know what he did? He begged your father to choose something else, anything else. He shamed us all that day, begging a foreigner, and he did it not to preserve a national heirloom, but because he said the blades were cursed.”

Looking for fantasy that takes its world seriously and gives its characters room to grow?

The Ballad of the Emerald Bard starts with sword-and-sorcery adventures and grows into something larger.

For a moment, Cam was too surprised to reply.
Yes.
Yes, I was using you.
He felt like the biggest idiot. Like, why was he putting in the effort? Why had he expected anything to be different? Was this why he’d been so anxious for days, weeks… months?
 And yet, something was different. Because old Sergei, last semester Sergei, never would have admitted it.
 “Okay,” Cam said softly. “Okay, and fuck you. But you’re not getting rid of me that easily.”

#WIPSnips 14 September 'month'

Taking a break from wrestling with my main WIP to revise the draft of a novella in my Tales of Isyr series that has been gathering dust for a couple of years - lots of tea drinking with a bit of blackmail on the side.

#WriteSky #indiefantasy #WritingCommunity 💙🪐📚

Wipsnips 14 September 'month' Marching into the salon where Cassana was drinking tea with her brother, Hailene tapped her cane against Melar’s ankle and told him to leave. The Flaeresian ambassador looked up at her with a bemused expression. “May I ask why?” “Because I have a matter of some urgency to discuss with your sister, concerning Alyas, and you have no need to hear it.” Cassana’s heart sped up. Had something happened? The company had been on an extended contract for months, working in the coastal kingdoms east of Flaeres. She’d had little news, but that was not unusual. There was no reason to think... “Now, there’s no need for that,” Hailene said briskly, seeing her face. “This is a political matter, and I would like it resolved before he ever hears about it. Off you go, Ambassador.” Melar hooked his elbow over the back of his chair and regarded Hailene with a quirked brow and quickened interest. “A Lankaran political matter? About Alyas? This I must hear. Perhaps,” he added with an innocent glance at Cassana, “I could help?” “I think not, Ambassador,” Hailene informed him, settling herself into a chair. “My nephew has more than enough problems without owing you a favour. Your sister and I are quite capable of handling the matter. You may go.”
