Thanks to everyone who has stuck around this far! In addition to this epilogue, I have some very fun things in store for you, from art to polls to soulhome blueprints to future information about the series. But let's just get into the content first:

I hope everyone is having a good Thanksgiving and/or weekend. I'm thankful for those who care about the story I'm telling and have gotten me this far. ^-^
More and more pieces are moving into place. I hope that everyone will enjoy the epilogue next week, because it's an essential one. Not a...

So... there was going to be a short week eventually. I decided it made more sense to have the climactic chapter be this week and both resolution chapters next time. But meanwhile, please enjoy the final version of the new Theo image!

Before you read the chapters, please take a look at the image above! If you recall the previous WIP, this is supposed to be the penultimate step: nearly completed but lacking some detail on the environment. If anyone notices anything that seems strange or has suggestions, now is the last chance!<...

Chapter 23
Thoughts passed through Theo's mind, clinically and distantly. After demons sacrificed a sufficient number of their own, the summoned demon was formed from their matter. During the time it took shape, i...

Welcome to some new patrons! It's unusual to get such a run of new people at the end of the month... was TWC promoted somewhere or something? Regardless, glad to have you here!
More chapters this week. We are entering the final section of the book, which means that you guys will have a lot ...

Sorry that I don't have more chapters for you this week. After next week I hope the remaining chapters should come out without interruption.
Fortunately, I have some fun art for you, in part thanks to the indefatigable Lamsey! The above is the newest soulcrafting tutorial, which you will wa...

No edits necessary for these chapters, so they proceed as normal. There are some major revelations this week that I hope people will enjoy. This is an example of long term threads in this series: I referenced the House of the Lost starting back in the third book to set up for this moment, which w...

Unfortunately, I made an error with this book. Not a contradiction that could be pointed out, or anything that my beta readers would have been capable of catching, but rather a discrepancy between my notes, my intentions, and the book as written. It was only when evaluating some feedback that I r...

Hey, you guys remember that Theo sketch from a while back? I finally got the colored version! At this stage we can't ask for major changes, but if anyone notices issues that could be improved with minor tweaks, please speak up!

There's loads of stuff going on, but you're still getting chapters beneath the break. First:

Chapter 7
House Blacksilver only had three Authority-tier soulcrafters, so a summons from one of them was serious business. After confirming that Krikree wouldn't cause any trouble in the complex, Theo made arrangements...

This week I can finally give some readers what they've requested: we have fancy new blueprints for the main three characters! Huge thanks to Lamsey for all his work on these. ^-^
I know soulhomes are a bit complex for a magic system, especially when the main characters use more complex desi...

I'm not at the point where I can post chapters consistently, but nothing else is ready, so you're getting chapters. Also another piece of fanart from Runcible Technician that I had saved, but forgot to post before now.

Lots of things are currently pending, like a new book release probably next weekend. But meanwhile, th...

The sixth book isn't ready for regular posting, but I wanted to give you guys a chapter now, both to get things started and to signal that editing is going pretty well.

Something a little different for this lore post! Though it will contain a variety of information about soulcrafting, it's also preparation for an eventual visual tutorial with the characters discussing the issue. These two will be somewhat redundant, but your questions and comments can help impro...

UPDATE: Sending out an update notification to show all of you a second draft of the cover. One thing I want to make clear: the grayscale and low detail is because this is a sketch, not the final design. But I definitely agreed with what people said about having a dark core, and I also wanted more...

This epilogue isn't meant to be a cliffhanger (considering I did that last book), instead a strange plot hook that readers might not expect. I had figured it would be answering a question no one was asking, but a few people actually ended up theorizing on the subject on 2022-06-11 16:57:04 +0000 UTC

Originally I was going to say more, but circumstances make that a bit rough. This book does have an epilogue, like the others, so more talk next week.
