Chapter Fifteen - The Dead-Walker's Son The journey to the Harransee Mountains took Idris back up the road he had travelled in the spring, when his only concern was returning to Veridia with his honour intact. His company was much the same ...

Welcome to the Harransee this #deadwalkerwednesday!

Idris unpacks. Lady Eremont tags along. Pentagons assist progress.

Chapter Fourteen - The Dead-Walker's Son β€œThat was cruel,” he spluttered, shaking water out of his face. β€œThat is sparring. Come on.” She held out her hand to help him up. β€œYou must be cold.” β€œOne more?” β€œI think there’s news,” said Lila, no...

#deadwalkerwednesday means Chapter Fourteen!

Idris makes a splash. Kurellan gives a gift. Layton makes a threat.

Chapter Thirteen - The Dead-Walker's Son Idris had never had the inclination nor the prompting to learn how to shape the aria so it harmed people. Magus Arundale had taught him basics, and the rest Idris had taught himself, conducting as muc...

Spooky season demands an unlucky chapter thirteen for this week's #deadwalkerwednesday.

Idris power-dresses. Lila makes a powerful enemy. Thistle is displeased.

Part Four: Entry Wound - XXVIII: Acceptance - Son of Songs: Innocence (Parts 1 to 10) Jace’s favourite balcony in the house was at the back. It had the most incredible view of the sunsets at the correct time of day but most importantly, it was in one of the least-used reading rooms in ...

In this #sonofsongssunday, we're moving through the stages of grief. And all the bones in the human hand.

Hey guys, I know I've missed a few chapters these last two weeks.

My actual real job started back up (boo) and as such I immediately got ill (double boo).

Rest assured, there will be chapters upcoming. I just have to rest right now.

Damn, making your own audiobook is a whole thing.

It's taken about five hours to edit one chapter. Most of that was thinking that I lost a tonne of audio and trying to find it, only to realise the computer was to blame.
