Book #2 Update: Throne of Exiles Pre-Order Date & Series Update!
Crown of Blood was released in July of 2023… so you may be wondering, where’s book #2??
I took a year off of writing altogether while I planned my wedding and got a lot of things in order. I still wrote bits and pieces of Throne of Exiles (the title of the second book in the Crown of Blood series) but not nearly as much as I needed to seriously get the book ready for publication. The time away did help, though, as I used any of my creative time that wasn’t spent on my wedding outlining this entire series.
You may already know, but I plan for the Crown of Blood series to be a four-book series! I use the word ‘plan’ because I’ve gone back and forth a lot in the past year about if the series should only be three books or if I should actually spread it out into four. The reason that I’m leaning towards four is because having only three books would mean that a lot of ups and downs would happen within the same book. Characters would act certain ways due to their motivations at the beginning of the book and then learn new information or have certain developments later on that would make their choices completely different than what they would have been in the first half of the book. I just think that by combining it all into one, I’d have a lot of readers thinking ‘WTF?’ more than if I spread it out more in two separate books.
That being said, I do plan to release the rest of the series much quicker than I have since the release of Crown of Blood. I plan to have Throne of Exiles released by March or April of 2025, with pre-orders available in January. I am currently working on the first book of a totally new series as well, but Crown of Blood is my baby, and I plan on continuing on to write book three as soon as Throne of Exiles is finished! I’m really excited about this new series, but more information on that will have to wait just a little bit longer.
If all goes according to plan, Throne of Exiles will be released in March or April of 2025, book three in the Crown of Blood series will be released around November of 2025, and the final book of the series will be released towards the beginning of 2026!
There’s so much to do and get done, but I’m honestly really excited for it all! I’ve received a lot of encouragement and positivity about Crown of Blood online and it really pushes me to keep going. I really appreciate everyone’s kind words and love for the series already. I want to take the time to really give the best story possible while also not making readers wait much longer for the next book. I know I wouldn’t be able to continue this without everyone’s support, so I hope you all know how much it really means to me.
See you again soon!
