The Essence Wars continues
The Anvil and the Throne arrives September 30
Release date: September 30, 2026
Peace held Teloshka together for nearly eighty years. It will not survive what comes
next.
The truth behind Garette Fort leads north to Elanwyn, where a failing king sits upon a throne
others have already begun to divide. Maerwyn Sawngfli has one chance to reach Domen before the
forces gathering around it close their grip.
Kaedryn Harth and Grantchu Chermoine carry a truth that could stop a war neither side understands,
but returning home may mean execution. Across Teloshka, armies move towards the Herastium Fields,
assassins pass through royal halls, and the gifted are turned into weapons.
Every road leads deeper into war.
Want an early copy?
eARCs of The Anvil and the Throne are now available by request. These are digital ebook
copies for readers who would like to read before release and, if they choose, leave an honest
review.
I strongly recommend reading The Seeker’s Wrath and An Envious God first. Book Two
carries the consequences of both stories, and some wounds make far more sense when you saw the
blade go in.
I also recommend reading The White Beast of
Trie, a Kindle Unlimited exclusive, before opening Book Two. It is a short detour
into the Trie Range, but it plants something that will make one moment in The Anvil and the
Throne land much harder. You will know it when you reach it.
If you have not read the first two books yet, that is not a closed door. I am happy to supply
digital review copies of both, so you can begin the journey at the beginning.
Already travelled the first roads?
If you have read The Seeker’s Wrath or An Envious God, please consider leaving an
honest review on Goodreads and Amazon. Reviews help readers decide whether to enter Teloshka, and
they give an independent series a fighting chance against the great hungry machinery of the
algorithm.
No review needs to be long. A few honest sentences can make an enormous difference.
Tell your friends
If you know somebody who enjoys political fantasy, brutal battles, divided loyalties, strange
powers, and characters who make excellent decisions only after exhausting every terrible one,
please tell them about The Essence Wars.
A recommendation from a friend reaches places no advertisement can. Send them the Book Two page,
point them towards the beginning, or simply warn them that September is going to hurt.
Thank you for being part of the journey
Every message, recommendation, review, early read, and quiet word of support
has helped carry this series further than I could have carried it alone. Thank you for walking
through Teloshka with me. The road ahead is darker, but we are nearly there.
I also want to thank Angelica and Mike Hamlin, whose work helped
bring the front cover of The Anvil and the Throne to life.
September 30. Every road leads deeper into war.
