MOONTIDE QUARTET ART SERIES

Justina Meiros was over 150 years old andlooked to be a woman in her late thirties. Ascendants had immense lifespans, with Selene Corinea living from Y380 to Y930 and beyond, and appearing to be a woman just out of her prime. Those with the gnosis were granted extended lifespans depending on their blood rank. Pure bloods had great difficulty in producing children, even more so when mating with other magi, and Ascendants had even more difficulty, some being essential infertile. The lowest, the one sixteenth bloods, were functionally human and suffered no discernible problems, but moving up the ranks, infertility rates increased. After many years of study, the 16 studies of the gnosis were named and began being taught to the magi.ДЄll magi suffered with differing levels of infertility due to having the gnosis, depending on their blood rank.

These original Ascendants used their new found strength to overthrow the Rimoni Empire and install the Rondian Empire in its place. The original 1000 members of Johan Corineus' group each took a measure whereupon 500 of them died, 100 went irrevocably insane, 100 became Souldrinkers, and the remaining 300 gained the gnosis. At that time, the potion was vastly different to the current version, due to decades of study and refinement, and such the success rate was much lower. IвЂ™ve had a lot of fun writing MapвЂ™s Edge (weвЂ™re editing it at the moment) and I look forward to sharing the cover art in due course.The gnosis was first created in Year 380 by Baramitus through the use of the ambrosia. ItвЂ™s a trilogy, called The Tethered Citadel, and Book 1 вЂ“ MAPвЂ™S EDGE вЂ“ will be released in Q3 of 2020. ItвЂ™s a trilogy set in a new fantasy realm, and is more adventure-focused than the Urte books, with a more linear plot and faster pacing than an epic fantasy.

In the meantime, I have a new series coming out with Jo Fletcher Books (the publisher of the Urte books). One question I get repeatedly asked by Moontide readers is, вЂњWhat happens to RamitaвЂ™s missing twin boy?вЂќ well, his story is told in a planned sequel series, which hopefully I will get to write I was especially happy with Book 3 of Sunsurge ( Hearts of Ice) and I believe that weвЂ™ve nailed it with Mother of Daemons.ДЄlthough Mother of Daemons brings Sunsurge to a very definite ending, it is not (in my mind at least) the end of the story of the world of Urte. In my view, and that of my editor, both of these series have got stronger as they progressed. In writing The Moontide Quartet, and The Sunsurge Quartet, I have been determined not to let that happen. One thing IвЂ™ve observed is that a lot of fantasy series start strongly, and get weaker.

Fantasy takes over from reality, in a fun but exhausting way. And of course, there are always so many little sub-plots and matters to resolve. I hear their voices, and their actions haunt me at night, as do the crimes of the villains they face. I have spent so much time with these characters вЂ“ with Lyra and Ril, Kyrik and Valdyr, Waqar and Tarita and all the rest вЂ“ that they are part of me. Another series comes to an end, which is always a bit of a gut-wrenching feeling. Hi All this month sees the release of MOTHER OF DAEMONS, the fourth and final book of The Sunsurge Quartet.
