Tala slid under a thrust of a bloody spear, grabbing onto it with her off hand even as she slashed at her opponent’s legs with Flow, in the form of a glaive. Such a move would normally lack power, a polearm was designed for use with two hands after all, but her prodigious strength and long practice let the strike hit home with vicious efficiency. She wasn’t basing her strength off of the ground, nor even off of her grip on her enemy’s spear, thus, when everything around her suddenly became slick,…-

Tala was completely incidental in the short negotiations, though she did have the utterly fascinating duty of standing beside an Eskau from the House of the Dark Abyss. The man was, ironically, a white-skinned huefolk of such pure coloring that it extended to his hair, irises, and pupils. Moreover, he leaned into his coloration, hard. His name was White. If Tala hadn’t been forewarned, she’d have thought he was joking, and that would have been an awkward way to begin negotiations. White’s gear…

Tala’s world was filled with a buzzing that was as much visual as auditory. She vaguely felt Alat guiding her in her choice of words and actions, briefly expressing shock that she wouldn’t be allowed to protect Pillar Be-thric on the venture and requesting time to process the news. It was granted, and Tala retreated into her sanctum. Tala snapped her head up, looking around in confusion, trying to find the person who had dared interrupt her. “What?” She groaned, lowering her head back down onto…

Tala leaned back in her bath, luxuriating in the near-boiling heat. She’d enjoyed one feast, and a team of chefs was methodically working towards the creation of a second, using her sanctum’s ingredients. She’d stripped off her iron paint and had been reinscribed before the bath as well. Losing her arms had lost the majority of her rings, and she couldn’t let that stand, after all. She stayed in the bath, despite being clean already, and her body didn’t really Tala ignored the alternate…

Tala had to call back the servants four times to get more food. After all, the fight, specifically with the drake, had left her reserves in dire need of a refill. In truth, the only reason it was limited to four requests for more was that Meallain had intervened, simply telling the servants to keep Tala’s portion of the table filled with a variety of foods until Tala requested a stop to the meal. Tala’s gratitude toward the woman grew, as did her mixed feelings. Alat snorted a laugh within Tala’s…

Tala nodded a bit lower to Eskau Meallain. “We thank you for the welcome.” The elven woman gave a half smile in return. “Come, we have many here worthy of conversation.” She turned and led Tala, Thron, Gallof, and Be-thric deeper into the hold. Her stride was purposeful and steady, with only a slight sway between steps. The result was akin to a predator, comfortably sauntering through their own den. Tala seriously considered giving Tali the reins but dismissed the idea. There were a growing…

Hello! This is the publishing plan as it stands. I will try to keep this up to date, and expand it as more information becomes available. 😊 Abbreviations used below: DATES: EXPLANATIONS: Why is the Audiobook coming out on MDP's website first?

Tala, Thron, Gallof, and Be-thric reached the edge of the city of Croi after an uneventful trek across the ten miles of plains. After their magically noticeable method of travel, Tala’s fight with the magical beasts had been a bit lengthier than planned, but not by much. Besides that fight, they’d only stopped for a moment so that Tala could duck into her sanctum to be reinscribed and repaint her limbs with iron. Tala tried not to think too long on As such, it was barely after sunset when their…

Tala screamed internally as she cut down a wolf the size of a pony, the last remaining one of a pack of twelve. Tala spun towards her next foe. Unable to get Flow around in time, she punched her armored fist into the side of the head of a charging thing. It looked like a unicorn but wrong. It was much, Aside from its mundane features, the magic about it was overbearing. Even though Tala’s fist connected solidly, and she felt the crunch of breaking bone, she lost out in both mass and magics. The…
