I thought it might be fun to show you a few of the images I’ve been using as inspiration for the various clans and their kingdoms. Starting with the “air clan” of Aetheria featured in Whisper of War and Storms, this is the capital of Aethralis, the Temple where the Gate is located and my vision of the book’s heroine, Mev. Did you envision something similar or different than this?

As you may have seen in my last newsletter, the cover and blurb for book #2, Tide of Waves and Secrets, has been officially revealed with it now on pre-order on Amazon. You met our hero, Sir Rowan, the mysterious human, in book one where we left him about to travel to Thalassaria, the “water clan,” to obtain the Tidal Pearl, one of three ancient artifacts necessary to re-open the Gate and reunite Mev and her parents. Rowan meets a woman by the name of Nerys who changes the tides of Elydor’s future (and of course they fall in love) as she challenges the current queen at the Festival of Tides, a sacred celebration of water magic which I envision looking something like this:

The story continues on May 11th with Rowan and Nerys’ story and will include cameos from your favorite characters from book one as well! Preorder Tide of Waves and Secrets and get ready for the next chapter of Heirs of Elydor.
