Here is the early release for Book 3, chapters 31 to 33!

Like the last few releases, this one is again longer than normal. I hope to get back to the regular size soon; there's just a lot to cover as we wrap up Book 3.

Please let me know if you have any feedback.

Wow Ivy, not only an amazing chapter, but so many threads coming together!! Also thank you for being so prolific without cutting corners. I can't wait to see how the shareholders divide up and monetize their finds. The idea of staying at Tim Yadir, and maybe with the staff's help revitalizing the region and building a new nation may be an option. However, my guess is they will go back to Aravor. Hildra will somehow need to be invited or convinced to help them figure out what enchanted weapons they have too. The result of the Leonis fight was also such a huge surprise. And my guess is Snake got one victory when he expected two. I am also excited to see what roles you have in store for Wolf, and maybe even Bear and Stagg. And If I am not mistaken, we have not yet seen a glimpse of Eagle. Most important of all... Will Corec bond Ariadne or will my earlier guess of Yassi still hold? Thank you again for the chapters. Oh, and happy new year!

Sorry for the misspellings, it's hard to edit on my phone.

Aspiring Sage

Oh wait!!! Bobo is now a priest!!!!!!! That would such a wicked twist! Is he maybe the eighth bondmate????

sunxia

Another one so nicely done, thank you Ivy.

William Guyaux

Not sure I want him as a bondmate, but him actually being a priest of Fox is awesome.

So many questions. What is the Collision? Does anyone here have a theory? I also have a theory as to who killed Rikard now. Could it have been Rusol's concubine mother? That death is what set him off on his anti-warden crusade, so it could also have been one of the new or old Gods. Maybe even Snake. But Rusol's mother seems likely too. And now, with Leonis dead, how do you all think Pallisur will react. He will be passed for sure. Also, does this not make Corec the Seventh Warden now? Maybe the Lady will choose a new Eighth Warden... or.... maybe the original spell will kick in and choose the only Chosar alive as the new Eighth Warden... so many questions. Would love to get thoughts from the other readers...

I have a few theories ... but I probably shouldn't mention them because of spoilers ;-) These are some good questions, though. Maybe we'll even find out some of the answers.

Aspiring Sage

Do you have an estimated date for the next release?

ivyveritas

I'm hoping it'll be ready in about a week, but I want to make sure I get it right since it looks like it'll finish up Book 3, so I might need a bit more time than that. I'm currently trying to work out which scenes to place in Book 3 and which to save for Book 4.

Aspiring Sage

Thanks Ivy. Looking forward to it. Also, any idea when you might release a larger map of the world, all of Aravor, or the new continent?

ivyveritas

Maps are hard. I've got early, rough sketches of southern Aravor, but to put it on the same scale with the other map would take six sheets of paper. I've got a sketch of part of Cordaea, but I haven't figured out the scale comparison yet. I really need to get everything into some mapping software so I can modify and merge all the pieces, but to do that, I'll need to learn how to use Wonderdraft or something similar. I'm not an artist, so that step is going to be tough.

Aspiring Sage

Hmmm... I f I had more time, I would offer it. Years ago, I used to do maps for special Diplomacy games and used an app that allowed you to zoom in and out and preserve the clarity. I am sure there are better applications available now. Maybe you could do a special gofundme fundraiser from among your fans to hire someone for it.
