Chapter Eighteen
Things quickly settled into a routine again. Rudit and Makkar would be taking time off in a few days, with the rule about no visitors known by the entire family. The men hadn’t approached Makkar about buying the slaves yet, and Gregory resisted the urge to try seeing that future. He wanted to have as lit...

“Good morning, Rudit.”
“Is it? Your family returned after dinner, and while it wasn’t required for you to check in, one of you should have.”
Gregory bowed in his seat. “Apologies, Ambassador. I will endeavor to not make that mistake again.”
“For someone born on the fringe...

With the book dropping on the 1st, there will be no chapter of AR10 on the 31st.
Also with the book dropping basically that day or the day after, I want to hold off on preview chapters of HC3 until Thursday April 3rd.
This way no one is surprised by this happening.
Chapter Sixteen
The evening was full of laughter and good memories. Clover, Ling, and Mindie each sparred with Verka. Since they all used the staff as weapons, all of the fights were competitive. Jenn and Ragnar also got a match in after them, which shocked Ivar and Moha at how well the much smaller woman did. Ragnar still...

When Gregory came back to awareness, his wives were gathered around him. Verka and Mindie were on either side of him, checking him for injuries. “I’m fine,” Gregory said as the memory faded.
“What happened?” Mindie asked.
“It was another memory, wasn’t it?” Verka asked.

Gregory grinned as he stopped meditating. It was known to the family that their watchers never showed up until breakfast. Since they were with Verka and Ragnar, they’d opted to meditate instead of truly sleep, but they’d made it look like they were going to sleep. That was why, at midnight, Ragnar and ...

Ragnar’s body blazed with aether flame as he rushed Gregory. He was amused and upset at the same time. If he delayed dinner, his mother might refuse to let him eat until everyone else was done. His sister would do her best to ensure there was only a scant bit left, too— she’d done it before. Gregory ...

The walk down the road was pleasant… for the most part. Shock, surprise, and some hard looks from the Kroggians going into the city accounted for nearly every expression they saw. None of the family were upset about it. After all, seeing seven magi walking down the road was un...

“Ragnar will be at the duels this morning,” Gregory said. “Nothing to be alarmed about. He just wants another spar with me.”
Rudit sat back, staying silent for a moment before she nodded. “I see. Everything else is fine?”

The day of lockdown wasn’t awful for the embassy. Some drunkards did accost the guards as Gregory had foreseen, but it didn’t escalate, as the men were well-disciplined and had been warned about the incident. Gregory spent a couple of hours each with his wives since everyone w...

The crowd was cheering loudly as the last honor fight of the day had a Kroggian winning. Mindie rushed over to heal the magi guard, leaving Gregory with Stenson. It was time to ask for their duel.
“High Priest,” Gregory said, turning to face Stenson, “I r...

We've mostly stayed to Emerita for the entire series as my plan was the story would focus on it. However for the last book we'll see a touch more of the world as Doc had to build something greater to hope to prevail.
Preorder is up, book goes live on the 23rd of December.

Okay folks a bit of an early warning.
Preview chapters will suspend for the month after AL4 publishes.
I was looking at January 1st for publication, but looks like I'll bump that up some. At the moment it might be just before Christmas. That'll help when you have to deal with family, and you don't want to. It'd also be a great way to spend...

My 8th year published is coming this October 3rd.
To celebrate this anniversary, I have contest running on Facebook and Discord.
If you'd like to enter, go to the right places and give it a shot.
For those wondering why I'm not also running it here, because I don't want to dance around Patreon's rules on giveaways.
