Skyvenom: Chapters 48-49

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 48

At last Esaire could see them: the Ichili woman and the hated outsider. Investigations had failed to reveal Peanen's real name or world of origin, but Esaire felt like he was finally within reach of him. No more lies, no more gi...

Skyvenom: Chapters 46-47

Here are your chapters for this week.

Chapter 46

Theo tumbled from one atmosphere to another, his stomach lurching, and instinctively kicked away from whoever had grabbed him. Instead of the sharp winds of Deuxan, he felt the suns of Noven glaring from all sides. He barely reg...

Skyvenom: Chapters 44-45

Here are your chapters for this week.

Chapter 44

Krikree likes her soulhome. When she was just a scout, she didn't think about it much, but now she likes it. The old hive was something she had been given, this is something she created for herself. It is not permitted, it would...

Skyvenom: Chapters 42-43

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 42

All at once it was the melee again, except this time Fiyu stood alone. She didn't wait for them to taunt her, simply unleashed every technique at once. For just a moment the outpouring of cantae, enhanced by all her materials, m...

Skyvenom: Chapters 40-41

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 40

When Fiyu heard that the next event was to be the final one, in some sense, she experienced a deep sense of dread. She had known that the first armistice was about to end, she simply hadn't evaluated what that meant. Deuxan was ...

Skyvenom: Chapters 38-39

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 38

All three of them flew over the city and Fiyu monitored their environment dutifully. She would never lapse in her focus, of course, but it was true that the longer they went without threats, the more distracted she became.

Skyvenom: Chapters 36-37

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 36

After all the negotiations with Strongholds, Theo was glad to go back to the relative simplicity of the border between Occoire and Greater Ostic. He didn't have private rooms there, much less a suite, but he'd gotten used to the...

Skyvenom: Chapters 34-35

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 34

They had only nine days from the melee to the next encounter, which could easily be trivial or brutal. Ordinarily, the best use of nine days would be soulcrafting, but both Nauda and Fiyu lacked the right sublime materials and w...

Skyvenom: Chapters 32-33

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 32

Now that they had a weirkey, Theo was tempted to go rushing off across Deuxan, but he restrained himself. In part because moving around such a hostile world was an easy way to invite more trouble and in part because there were s...

One Week Break

As previously announced, I'm taking this week off. Chapters will resume October 26.

Skyvenom: Chapters 30-31

Here are your chapters for this week. I am going to take next week off as a mental health break. You will get a different post that weekend, then more chapters October 26.

Chapter 30

Theo could play many roles in a battle, including striking and defense, but in a melee this ch...

Skyvenom: Chapters 28-29

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 28

With another Deuxan week available, Theo returned to his basement and hoped he wouldn't be distracted too much. By his count, he had fully dug out four of the nine rooms that would form his basement, and over the course of that ...

Skyvenom: Chapters 26-27

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 26

It took a full day for Theo and his allies to be placed in their rooms, which was more due to pomp and politics than logistics. There seemed to be entire wings of the grand palace available for guests, so they had an entire suit...

Skyvenom: Chapters 24-25

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 24

Esaire floated a few feet off the floor to hover beside a hanging ring that Theo hadn't noted previously: if that was the speaking position, he wasn't sure how non-Authorities were supposed to use it. In any case, his old enemy ...

Skyvenom: Chapters 22-23

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 22

Now that they finally had a multi-lateral agreement to negotiate in Accilonia, the sword hanging over Theo's head should have pulled back, but he couldn't relax. Vistgil hadn't shown up to annihilate everyone, so it wasn't a wor...

Skyvenom: Chapters 20-21

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 20

After the feast, there was nothing to do but prepare for their assignment. Whether they chose to travel to Western or Southern Ostic, they were going up against a Stronghold in charge of an important court, so there was no sense...

Skyvenom: Chapters 18-19

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 18

Being fitted for clothes was an alarming experience. Fiyu had accepted it as a child, with close relatives, but to have strangers touch and measure her? She had refused, instead taking the knotted line of string and entering the...

Skyvenom: Chapters 16-17

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 16

The storm lasted almost until they arrived at Central Ostic, then their claustrophobic bubble within the sand popped to reveal a new vista. Metallic sands still stretched on the periphery, but the city itself absorbed an increas...

Skyvenom: Chapters 14-15

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 14

Soon enough all of the Deuxans had tossed their armaments into one of the ambush holes and surrendered. The weaker ones were sent back to another hole, where they would be out of the way, while the Authorities and some of the ot...

Skyvenom: Chapters 12-13

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 12

"Alright, we need to begin with some deeper theory."

Though they were all there to listen to Senka, they formed a rough circle with the sleigh as one side. Theo realized that he'd forgotten to eat during his recent though...

Skyvenom: Chapters 10-11

Here are your chapters for this week.

-
Chapter 10

Technically the city of Anguedan was unchanged, without so much as a cobblestone or roof tile damaged in the battle, and yet it felt ruined. Nauda walked the streets and knew that everything had changed. The inhabitants wouldn't tu...

Skyvenom: Chapters 8-9

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 8

There had never been any question in Theo's mind that it wasn't over.

Even without Esaire's poison and ultimatum, it was obvious that the two of them would face off again, so he'd planned accordingly. The only thing he'd wo...

Skyvenom: Chapters 6-7

Here are your chapters for this week.

-

Chapter 6

As Fiyu investigated the city, she remained constantly on alert. It seemed unlikely that there would be any great threat from Anguedan itself: there were no Authorities, few Rulers, and little organization. But with th...

Skyvenom: Chapters 4-5

These chapters get most of the central issues in these books established and set several plots in motion, but they also take a moment to breathe. There's a vocal contingent of progression fantasy readers who don't want anything except the main character, and they won't like the fourth chapter, bu...

Skyvenom: Chapters 1-3

Here we go, new book! Chapters should be posted every Saturday from now on until the completion of the novel. It may just be a temporary bump from the release, but I'm pleased to see so many new readers along for the ride. ^-^

Chapter 1

As an Authority, Theo w...

Skyvenom starts in July

Thanks again for everyone supporting the launch.

I'm always left with an odd mix of emotions after a release, a large portion of them weariness. It's a real flood of feedback different from the usual. The book could use your ratings or reviews on 2024-06-29 17:00:22 +0000 UTC View Post

Thank you for my best launch ever!

The normal pattern for book series is that the first book sells the most and each sequel sells less. Well, TWC has been doing the reverse: the first book didn't sell terribly well, but each subsequent book has done a little better. Of course the first book has still sold the most total, but new r...

Deathseed Release + Biggest Sale Ever!

For anyone who hasn't seen, Deathseed is now available on Amazon! Check it out:

The book started off with some low ratings (within hours of release, sadly), so it could re...

Deathseed Release Date + Plans

Still busy, so I'm going to keep this short: the official Amazon release date for Deathseed will be on the 14th. I am locked in now, so this is happening.

I will also be doing my big sale that weekend: all books in The Weirkey Chronicles will be made free for a limited time. A perfect oppor...
