HI!
Surprise, I’m early! Since I’ll be driving a uhaul from Texas to Colorado during my normal release time, I thought I would give everyone the chapters early instead of late.
I need to get on the road so I will keep this short. A lot is going on though, so expect some more updates before next Friday. The big thing that happened is Travis began narrating book 7 yesterday. I need to figure out what that means for my release schedule. I guess I have a lot of time to think about...

Ruwen held up his hands and walked slowly toward the three Aspects. They turned their attention to him, and he spoke. “I want to make a deal.”
The Aspects remained silent, studying Ruwen as he approached. Not one of them showed any fear or concern. He considered using Harmony now and trying to nullify their shields. But if he did affect their shields, it gave them time to react. He wanted to save Harmony for a surprise when he stood near all of them.
It took t...

Time resumed its normal pace, and a red Energy bar greeted Ruwen, the color a result of dropping under ten percent. Using two portals with such large openings had almost cost him his life.
Ruwen’s Energy Regen of four hundred per second quickly replenished the paltry four hundred ninety-seven left in his pool. He continued to fly upward, his velocity still over a thousand miles per hour.
Overlord, I’m coming in hot. Match my Void Band actions.

Hi!
Due to some scheduling issues, book 7 is starting narration EARLY! As in today! So if you have a chance, head over to Travis' discord (https://discord.gg/dADSBth3xr) and watch him perform. It is amazing to watch (and hear).
The cover is very close to its final form. I hope you like it as much as I do. It's from one of my favorite scenes in book 7. Let me know your thoughts.
Take care,
AFK

Hi!
I did start writing book eight this week, but didn’t get as far as I’d like. It is always hard in the beginning of a book to get momentum as many parts of the story are still obscured. I plan to get some clarity around that this weekend.
I’ll be getting the final edit back this weekend. I had hoped to have covers to show you, but they will likely be finished this weekend as well. I will post them to Patreon first of course, and then put them up for preorder.

Chapter 79
Shelly’s bellyflop created a massive wave, which at Ruwen’s current speed, he couldn’t avoid. Harden solidified the water in front of him into a wall and he crashed through it.
“Don’t hurt my turtle,” Sift screamed.
A large depression in the water where Shelly had landed caused Ruwen to suddenly lose the ability to create ice, and he soared...

Last Breath activated and the world froze. The three Aspects on the lake would reach his friends in less than twenty seconds. Even if Sift reached them, he stood no chance against the three handpicked warriors from the Infernal Realm. Ruwen needed to get there as soon as possible.
Plague and Pestilence exerted their power over massive areas, and if Ruwen left immediately and didn’t neutralize them, their magic might still kill everyone before he could get back to them...

“I have your Crossing Rings,” Ruwen yelled down at Pestilence and Plague. “Call back the others.”
Plague laughed, the sound bubbling from a throat full of mucus.
“War is too excited about belt collecting, and fresh Masters are his favorite,” Pestilence said.
Well, there went Ruwen’s Plan A.
The Scourge Champion flew over Ruwen’s head as Sift threw the demon off the roof.
Echo had sent Ruwen to his Aspect’s bind point with a safe...

Hello!
I spent a lot of time thinking about book eight this week but didn’t start writing yet. The cover work started for both book seven and Hamma’s book, and I hope to have something to show you next week.
In my personal life, we decided to not make the move we’d been planning for over a year, and that has created some extra stress as we unravel all those plans. It sure didn’t take long for the shine to rub off on this new year.
This week’s chapters turn the dial...

“Where are the Crossing Rings?” Pestilence asked.
“We know the Bamboo Viper Clan was involved,” Plague added.
Ruwen triggered Last Breath to give himself time to think.
The last time Ruwen had fought these five Aspects he had access to his Spirit and all the enhanced spells and abilities that brought. Now, he only had Mana. The fight would be far different this time. He needed to use every advantage he could think of to survive this and save his frie...

Before Sift could respond, Ruwen jumped off the wall on the lake side, and ran along the stone until Survey and Stone Echo displayed the area directly across from the throne building. Sift had followed through the air and dropped to the ground next to Ruwen.
“You ready?” Ruwen asked.
“Do you need to ask?”
“Okay,” Ruwen said. “These purple eggs make a mess. I’m going to lob it over the city to the far side, past the wall. I d...

Hi!
A really busy week in the Divine Apostasy universe. The manuscript for book seven is off to the editor, and the Hamma book will be next. We start working on the covers for both next week and Travis will begin narrating book 7 in early February.
Once I get a little more clarity on release dates for everything, I will adjust the number of chapters that get released. As always, you will get the entire book(s) before its available anywhere.
Probably next week I will start on...

The Red Forest got its name, Ruwen realized, from the blood-colored trees that surrounded a massive lake. Mountains circled them, but above the peaks he noticed giant plumes of smoke and ash. The ground trembled periodically, as if it had caught a fever. Whatever damage the small pressure wave had created, it appeared long term.
Tarot used his deck of cards like an air sled and bounced across the water in front of them, moving back and forth and leaving rings of waves w...

Minimized notifications appeared in Ruwen’s vision as Dusk handed him his new uniform and pressed a relic token into his palm. “Congratulations,” she whispered. “The Clan owes you so much. I’ll notify Kysandra of your rank so she can begin your training.”
Until Ruwen broke the prison around his soul, he would likely not successfully move between the Material and Shadow Realms like other Shadow Steppers.
Dusk continued. “I had hoped Kysandra could be ...

Mountains quickly shrank to bamboo covered foothills which stretched to the ocean, and the barely visible Masters’ Village. The sun hovered across from the class, the lateness of the day creating yellow and orange streaks through the patches of clouds.
Ruwen and Sift remained still, as the rest of Rung Four moved toward the Founders as a group. 2023-01-14 07:58:25 +0000 UTC View Post
