Progress Report on 'The Deathsworn Arc 5: Temple of the Mad God'
Am I confident this time the companions WILL actually get to the Temple of the Mad God? YES!
I'm 35,000 words deep into book 5 and they companions now seem to have found a way of entering Votrex's locked Holt.
That's nearly half a book by my normal standards, so what else is going on?
Well, Lindie and Kaya's story has progressed. No spoilers, but you can be sure the events taking place in Trest will surprise.
Fox Fletcher's story has progressed. She is on the way to becoming a key character and is fast becoming one of my favourites. Life keeps kicking her in the face, but she's so spunky and feisty - she kicks back. Her story will intertwine with some of the companions more soon. At the moment, she's having a pretty crappy time, but things pick up for her.
Vashni? Well, I'm following her story too! Yes - you will finally be able to visit Eldenizar and Maerun in book 5. You may even learn a little more about Venetha and Lord SuSak and what's going on too! You DO meet SuSak's younger sister, yes, it's another female villain I'm afraid.
There's another knew character who I'm sure you'll love - Maven Stonecutter. She's a larger than life, attractive woman with a big heart and a good head on her shoulders. I'm really enjoying getting to know her. I hope you do too!
Also, I've introduced not the main villain, but the 2nd to main villain. (Trust me - Melchiot is waaaaaaaay down the list of villains!) No clues, but think about book 2, the Verkreath and Roth's truthsinging at the end of book 3!
And! Ramon Hern has made another appearance, with his dragon.
Ooh! Remember Olwyn Blackhand? She's back, but she's also changed. She's a new character now.
The plot is definitely underway in this book! Finally the story is getting going!
One key theme of this book is exploring the repercussions of the actions during the first book. Remember the Berger's daughter from Briem? Angela? She's in it, but she turns out to be perhaps not quite how you expected.
As you can tell, there's so much going on in book 5 - I'm really excited about it. It's hard to tell you about it without giving too much away. It's going to be hard work finishing this and getting it right, but it HAS to be right! I'm currently re-reading the entire series so I can make sure it flows into book 5 well. Currently on The Verkreath Horror and thoroughly enjoying it! Can't wait to get onto The Blood Queen
Sorry for the delay, I know you're all desperate to know what happens. Book 5 will come and it WILL be worth it. It'll just take a while!
