I am thrilled to announce the release of “The Tempest Queen,” the final installment in the Tempest Rising series. It’s been an incredible journey, and I am both excited and a little sad to bring this saga to its conclusion.
“The Tempest Queen” concludes the epic tale of Rowyn, a young woman who has fought her way through adversity, betrayal, and the complexities of magic and power. In this final chapter, Rowyn faces her most daunting challenges yet as she navigates a world brimming with political intrigue, ancient promises, and a looming war that threatens to tear her world apart.
This book is particularly special to me. Writing the Tempest Rising series has been a journey of growth, not just for my characters, but for myself as a writer. Bringing Rowyn’s story to a close has been a bittersweet experience.
I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for joining me on this adventure. Your support, enthusiasm, and love for the characters and their stories have been the fuel that kept me writing. I hope “The Tempest Queen” brings you all the emotions – excitement, joy, and maybe a little bit of heartache – that I experienced while writing it.
For those who have been with Rowyn from the beginning, and those who are just discovering her world, I invite you to dive into the final chapter of this thrilling series. Let’s embark on this last journey together and see where Rowyn’s destiny takes her.
Today, I have an announcement to make concerning the release of the final novel of the Tempest Rising series, “The Tempest Queen.”
As many of you know, the original release date was planned for this autumn. However, after much thought and careful consideration, I’ve decided to postpone the release date for the last time, to December 3, 2023.
I know that many of you are eagerly awaiting the resolution of Rowyn’s tale. I appreciate your overwhelming enthusiasm and patience. But it’s incredibly important to me that this final installment is nothing short of perfect for you, the readers who have stuck by me through each twist and turn of the journey. I want to offer my heartfelt thanks for your continued support because it fuels me to give you the finale this series deserves.
In the meantime, if you have not already checked out the companion novels that released this summer, it’s a perfect time to do so!
