Release day
The Anvil and the Throne is out now
Published 30 September 2026
Today, Book Two of The Essence Wars belongs to its
readers.
This book has travelled a long road to reach you. Thank you to everyone who read an early copy,
shared a post, recommended the series, left a review, sent a message, or simply stayed with me
while Teloshka continued to grow.
Independent books do not travel far on their own. Every message, recommendation and quiet act of
support helped carry The Anvil and the Throne to release day. I am enormously grateful.
Every road leads deeper into war.
One more way to help
If you have already read The Seeker’s Wrath, An Envious God, or
The White Beast of Trie, please consider posting an honest review. Reviews help new
readers decide whether to enter Teloshka, and they give an independent series a fighting chance
against the great hungry machinery of the algorithm.
A review does not need to be an essay. A few honest sentences can make an enormous difference.
Thank you for walking these roads
Writing can be solitary. Publishing never is. This release was made possible
by readers, reviewers, friends, family, early supporters, and every person who told somebody else
about the books.
Special thanks again to Angelica and Mike Hamlin for helping give
The Anvil and the Throne the cover it deserved.
The book is yours now. I hope you find something in Teloshka worth carrying with you after the
final page.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
