Hello!
It’s been a hot minute since I welcomed you into the world of Fyriane Whispers. I promise, I haven’t forgotten about you! I have been busy working behind the scenes to create visual representations that will complement your reading journey throughout The Pawn and subsequent books in The Queendom Series. These visuals (and the world map) are on my Substack, readily available and can be found here. I aim to post new images every Monday, so keep your eyes peeled!
You’ll be pleased to know, that Chapter One of The Pawn will be released tomorrow.
Are we excited? Have we emotionally prepared ourselves for the rollercoaster? Have we tightened up our magic and braced for anything that Valare and co. throws at us? I hope so. If not, you’ve been warned. Here’s to hoping 24 hours is ample prep time…
Who? What? When? Why? How?
Like most fantasy novels, for the first 25-50% of the first book, the readers internal dialogue goes a little like this…
“Wait, what? Where’s that.” *scrambles back to the world map to work out where the heck the author is referring to* “Okay. Cool. They’re here. Right. I’m onto this.”
- 30 seconds later -
“Hang on. You’re talking about Senora now? What’s a Senora? Who’s a Senora? What.” * scratches head * “I’m just going to roll with this. It’ll all make sense eventually. One day in this journey I will turn around and understand what this all means.”
- 15 days later -
* Checks the world map for the 987th time * “Okay. This is cool. I think I understand. But I also don’t understand. And that’s okay. I’m waiting for a plot twist that tears out my heart. And that’s okay. If I keep telling myself it’s okay, I’ll be okay… right? Right.”
Is that how your internal dialogue goes? Or maybe it’s just me… in that case, this is getting a little awkward and we should probably move on quickly…
The World Map
It is with an immense amount of excitement that I can reveal the world map that will assist you in navigating the world of Fyriane. Hopefully this’ll help with your own inevitable internal dialogue.
Welcome to The Fyriane Continent!
Because I am a fan of ambiguity and love to give you a taste of what’s to come, I’ll leave you with the following teaser:
“For the doers, the defenders, the dreamers.
To the devoted, the divisive, the divine.
For the true infinite, and the continent of Fyriane.
Protect our family.”
I’ll see you on the flip side.
