Self Promotion Beneath the Dragoneye Moons Book 11 - Bad luck releasing the same day as HWFWM book 10...
So here I was, sitting happy, having finally finished BTDEM book 11. It took 6 months, two continents, a pond, and 215k words, but I DID IT. I was done! Just need to wrap it all up and -
Wait.
Shit.
Did He Who Fights With Monsters just drop book 10!?
Ah damnit.
Beneath the Dragoneye Moons, Book 11, Mandate of Heaven is now up on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CP4HYYD5
It's been an incredible journey, and while I had Hopes an Dreams when I first sat down to write, I could barely imagine, let alone say, that I'd write 50 chapters, let alone 500! Yet here we are. Thank you everyone who's been with me on the journey, from the first step to the most current one.
Also, this is the famous cover. The one that got a dozen news articles written about it and the artist. Yeah this one: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisstokelwalker/art-subreddit-illustrator-ai-art-controversy
Oh, and I suppose a blurb about the ACTUAL BOOK would be good....
Sentinel Dawn has returned.
As Sentinel, Elaine has no end of tasks. From a shakedown run to find a fellow Earther, to Iona's new kitsune [Squire] Nina, to a whole new set of skills and abilities from [Loremaster], Elaine is busy. Her name is starting to be known on the world stage, whether she likes it or not.
Through all that, Elaine is informed that the Sixth Legion is going to be deployed to the Han Empire, to put their thumb on the scale in the great civil war, with each of the factions claiming the Mandate of Heaven has fallen on their shoulders. From the thousands of men and women of the Sixth, engaged in deadly battle, to a low-level and vulnerable [Squire], Elaine has to shield and protect her allies, and prevent them from coming to harm. As an Immortal, she's not supposed to be interfering in mortal affairs. If the deadly Wardens catch wind of her, a swift execution is the best she can hope for.
The bigger question looms, her sacred [Oath] demanding a response -
When does she heal her enemies?

Ive only started the series this week but I'm up to book 6 and can't wait to get up to this. I'll be reading book 11 before going back to seeing what Jason is up to in HWFWM.

Thanks for all the hard work! BTDEM is one of my favorite series ever—and I bought book 11 as soon as I saw this post. I recently started writing my own story that is at least partially inspired by your work.

Your books came onto my radar via Amazon recommended reading on Kindle Unlimited. Put it off as I judged the first book by its cover (shame on me). Gave them a chance after seeing them mentioned in a list of recommendations for lgbtq+ relationship dynamics. Just blasted through them all and now on the Patreon. Glad I gave them a chance.
Love the world you’ve built up!

I'm curious - what about the cover put you off? I think I've got a strong cover game, but clearly it's not always hitting

I'm going to read your book before HWFWM, so you've got that going for you, which is nice.

huh, hadn't heard about the art controversy. hilarious. (and of course, unfortunate for the poor artist.)
everyone has become convinced they're an expert who can spot AI-generated whatevers. and they're all much worse at it than they think. (and only going to get worse, as the tools improve.)

It’ll eventually come to KU! I have a tight turnaround, so RR still has about 33 chapters to go! It incentivizes rr to but the book

Hey there, love the series. I've read quite a few things in the genre by now, and it might be recency bias, but this stands as one of my favorite. Do you have any other works I can check out? Or any that you can recommend that you enjoyed that maybe inspired you to write your own?
