Grant asked Garon Whited:

Was just reading the second Nightlord book and noticed something odd. Was there a particular reason why crossbow bolts stuck in Erick bolts in this book? In the first book Erik healed so fast bolts would be forced out on their own and it was established that all of his powers were greater in the second book. Was this a continuity error?

Garon Whited To be fair, his regeneration will push foreign bodies out. However, the rate is still not fast. Ideally, he should sit still and wait for projectiles to work their way out, but he was too busy for that--he kept moving. They also had a fair distance to go; most went nearly all the way through him. They were already on their way out, but he didn't feel like waiting. They're still painful, after all.
One did go completely through and stuck, though. His regeneration is a process, not an intelligence. It couldn't "heal it" out of him because it didn't have a clear direction. The wound healed around it, though.

David asked Garon Whited:

It’s a new year with new hope. And a new question - in book three, The Orb, there is that guy, Balaur, who turns into the bats and flies away - since Eric has gone back in time and is developing his super new spy scrying spells that let him peek in on universes without being noticed, is he going to watch Balaur fly away and find out where he went, who he was, and why he has that power?

Kallen

Kallen asked Garon Whited:

Have you ever read or heard of the book series, Fid's Crusade, by David H. Reiss? I'm asking because the main characters in both your series are very similar: tragic, self-deprecating men with fantastic power who try to do what they think is best.

Ashton

Ashton asked Garon Whited:

In your opinion could Eric be a good monarch he stopped trying to pawn it off on others? Another thing that’s been bothering me since the end of book one was the revelation that Travis had died waiting on Eric. Which just crushed my soul in that moment. Sure we only knew him for a short period of time but it was an important time all the same. So will Eric ever fulfil his promise and turn Travis in the future?
