The Heron Kings Rampant

 

The Vril has changed everything. Argovan stands on the verge of an industrial age where anything is possible. But new technology brings new ideas, and not everyone is content with a monarchy. An insurgency has arisen, using as their banner a name thought long lost to legend. But some legends don’t fade away quite so completely. The last scions of an ancient order must race to uncover the secret behind the mysterious Vril before the usurpers of their name destroy not just the kingdom, but the whole world.

Progress: Final polished draft finished, currently comes in a bit under 110,000 words. Rejected by the editor, so now considering options.

The Artificer’s Knot

 

A new story unrelated to the Heron Kings trilogy, but set in the same world a few years after Rampant. Randyll Tephius was thrown out of the University in disgrace after challenging the alchemists and their energy monopoly brought by the mysterious Vril. At his lowest point he’s taken under the wing of notorious gang boss Gouger Nebb, who plans to use Randyll’s knowledge of petroleum and engineering to make his final fortune. But powerful forces fear the new industry. They’ll stop at nothing to take and keep the ultimate power of the age, and Randyll will find himself twisted into a knot caught between two deadly forces.

Progress: Rough outline finished, ~29,000 words drafted.
