Heretic Spellblade 6 is Live
Added 2023-09-30 12:00:04 +0000 UTCSpellblade 6 should be out everywhere, and you've probably read it (or at least most of it) here on Patreon if you're reading this update. If not, then you're in for a wild ride.
I’ve also discounted the rest of the series to 99c per book for a week, so if you want copies to keep or know people who could use some, now’s the time to grab the series (discount for US and UK only, because Amazon has a fetish for restricting features and deals to a couple of countries for no explicable reason).
US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGQY2678
UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CGQY2678
If you’re here, you know the drill: please read and review if you enjoy it, as every little bit helps. Let others know about it. And let me know if you like it, too, because that’s always nice to read.
This book is nearly 50% larger than I intended, as I split the intended Book 6 in half, and should give you some idea of just how big the plot has gotten. There are lots of lore reveals, power ups, big fights, and confrontations here, as Nathan finds himself on the brink of the end times and finally needs to use all the preparations he’s built up over the years. There’s a brief recap and character list at the start of the book if you need it, as it has been a year since Book 5.
If you've already read it on Patreon, below are the main changes (that I remember):
- New Sen chapter around Chapter 10, plus a sex scene
- Various minor changes to the earlier chapters (I forget most of these)
- The special scenes related to Reine, Seraph, and Ciana have all had changes made, particularly to the explanations and mechanics, so you may wish to reread those (Ch13, 22, 32)
- Nurevia's scene has been redone and the sex scene added
- There may be some changes in the final 13 chapters (the Messenger-restricted ones), but I think most of those made it into the Patreon chapters before I posted them
Overall, the changes are relatively minor, I think. This book was hectic to finish, so some stuff I wanted to put in didn't make it, as I was prioritizing squeezing in additional content over reworking old stuff (I wanted to squeeze in an Astra chapter, but I was just pushing too close to the deadline).
Podium tells me that audio is being recorded in October, and Stephanie is returning as always. So we can all look forward to her lovely performance.
Spellblade 7 chapters will likely start dropping later in October. Mob 2 chapters are still here if you haven't read them and I’ll likely add some more before Spellblade 7.

Commentary for Messengers will likely be in a week or so. I'm also working on something small (Spellblade related) that may or may not get finished, depending on my mood over the next week.

Good book. Very strong in my opinion. The reviews seem very good as well.

2023-10-02 08:11:05 +0000 UTCNah it's all good. Woke up at like 5 this morning (thank you daylight savings) and it was available so it's already on its way 👌

2023-10-01 22:12:55 +0000 UTCThere may actually be a bug on Amazon's end, unfortunately. I can't even order author copies from Australia. Going to have to message them about it, so it might take a few days to fix.

2023-10-01 14:14:59 +0000 UTCThe difference there is that Nathan respected Astra, even when she was beating him up and talking down to him, whereas Deverese doesn't respect Nathan. I have a plan in mind for Dev's arc, I just need the time to execute it

2023-10-01 03:05:24 +0000 UTCThere'll be a separate post about this within a few days. But 1-2.

2023-10-01 03:01:31 +0000 UTCToo easy man, thank you! Just wanted to double check cos I also didn't want to have to wait like a month to get it. I'll keep refreshing

2023-09-30 22:06:31 +0000 UTCThat's weird. You'll probably need to give it a day or two as Amazon is probably bugging out (again). I've listed it on the backend for $30 from the .com.au store, so it probably just hasn't been loaded into their print stuff.

2023-09-30 22:03:26 +0000 UTCAre there going to be localized physicals like the other releases? Went to buy it this morning and they only have US imported copies for $51AU. If that's the only editions that will be available I'll gladly pay but I don't want to buy it and then have them release in Aus for $20 cheaper haha.

2023-09-30 20:58:43 +0000 UTCDo you have a vague idea for how many books you think are left in the series?

2023-09-30 19:18:35 +0000 UTCRandom post book thought. Deverse and Nathan reminds me a bit of the Astra and Nathan relationship in the old world. He is still being a bit of a snot but the fact that he is on Nathan’s radar is such a compliment. Maybe him and Pike can punch him in the head enough that he grows up and becomes the person he should be able to. There is no denying the mans dedication and bravery even if he is showing his ass a bit.

2023-09-30 17:56:50 +0000 UTCYeah buddy- been looking forward to more Mob 2. I love HS, don’t get me wrong… but Neural Wraith and Mob are where it’s at. In the meantime… time for a reread of HS6. Thanks.

2023-09-30 13:20:33 +0000 UTCRe read for the weekend! Go! Sped to the end to leave a review though. Hope that Astra scene makes it to the next book. She is over due for some love. In more ways than one.
