Diamantine is Out! Six Sacred Swords is on Sale!
Diamantine, the second book in my Weapons and Wielders series, is available now on the US Kindle store! Diamantine
To celebrate, the first book in the series – Six Sacred Swords – is on sale for on the US Kindle store and UK Kindle store. (Unfortunately, those are the only regions covered by Kindle Countdown Deals. If you’re somewhere else, sorry. ;_;)
Six Sacred Swords
Six Sacred Swords follows Keras Selyrian, a talented swordsman who begins a journey to seek out the titular Six Sacred Swords. It's a lighthearted adventure story, with a lot of nods to various classic games from the NES, SNES, and Playstation eras, especially The Legend of Zelda, Dragon Quest, Ys, and Final Fantasy.
You might enjoy it if you're in the mood for talking swords, bibliophile dragons, and a lot of accidentally breaking traps and puzzles. The audio book version can be found here, narrated by the fantastic Nick Podehl!
This series takes place in the same universe as my War of Broken Mirrors and Arcane Ascension books.
Chronologically, the books follow this order:
• The War of Broken Mirrors
• Weapons and Wielders
• Arcane Ascension
Notably, the frame story for this book (meaning the Prologue, Interlude, and Epilogue) takes place much later than the main story, and after the second book of Arcane Ascension. Reading those other books isn’t required to understand this one, but it may be beneficial to get everything possible out of the story.
Next, I’d like to mention something important about the style of this particular book.
Diamantine is designed to set the foundation for plot and character arcs and for several books to come, and this means that by necessity, there will be a number of elements introduced in this book that aren’t resolved by the end. This is intentional, but it may not work for all readers. If you prefer stories that feel self-contained, you may be best waiting for at least one more book to come out to read them back to back.
Thanks, everyone, and I hope you love the books!
Best,
-Andrew

Six Sacred Swords is Out
Six Sacred Swords
, my prequel to Sufficiently Advanced Magic, is out on Kindle!
This book stars Keras Selyrian, who you've seen in my other Arcane Ascension books, but takes place years before those novels begin. It focuses on his journey to seek out the titular Six Sacred Swords and the dangers and allies he encounters on the way.
If you enjoyed my Arcane Ascension books, I'd recommend taking a look!
The paperback and audio versions are still on the way, and I'll try to get them out as soon as possible.
