As many of you know, I am currently hard at work on my new epic fantasy series centered around the mysterious antihero character Volthar. This series kicks off a major overarching Arghost storyline, which will span many books over the coming years.

It was while writing Volthar’s intricate backstory and complex motivations that an idea for a related novella took hold. This shorter tale follows a pivotal string of events from Volthar’s early life that sets him on the path toward darkness. Without giving away too many details, it explores the traumatic betrayals and losses that ultimately forge him into the feared magika he later becomes.

Though set towards his later years of dark magic discovery, It contains plenty of foreshadowing for the future Arghost series as well. I’m incredibly excited to further develop this rich world and lineage of characters.

For all newsletter subscribers, I will be sending out this new novella for FREE when it launches on February 1st, 2024. If you want early access when it goes out, please subscribe below today!

Now I must get back to outlining the next epic Volthar chapter. His gathering of mercenary forces promises a thunderous clash worthy of the dark powers he now wields. Stay tuned for more updates!

Until next time
