Dear John I want to ask you about the Sirak. What are their story? They seem kinda cool but we don't see them much .Also there seem to be some mysteries about Kastell's past that we don't know and that away bother me

Hi Khang,
It's great to hear from you. I'm glad that you liked the Sirak in the Faithful and the Fallen. Originally I intended for them to be more involved in the story, but as I wrote the novels following on from Malice events in Arcona didn't fit organically into the story. I was disappointed not to use them more, as their nomadic horse culture is fun and interesting, so I hope that you will be pleased to hear that the Sirak play a major part in my new series, Of Blood and Bone, which is set in the Banished Lands, taking place 130 years after the events of Wrath. Book 1, A Time of Dread, is written and due for publication in January 2018. It contains a major Point of View from a Sirak warrior, so I can assure you that they will be far more involved in the new series.
I hope that helps.
Best,
John

Hi John, I just finished Maliace which I loved. I have your remaining Faithful and the Fallen books on my shelf ready to devour. 1) Are you currently working on or creating a new world/saga in which we can delve into and enjoy soon? 2) Although you will conclude the epic tale with Wrath (if it is not spoiler worthy) will you be returning to The Banished Lands in any of your future works. Thank you. James x

Big fan of Malice, really pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. In the process of getting Valour. The books have a very strong Celtic vibe to them especially Corban's own people. What drew you to this culture in particular rather than the more standard pseudo medieval world of a lot of fantasy universes?
