Chapter 5 of Liberation is here! A collaboration between me and the wonderful Zoe Storm — she's writing, I'm making the art. We have 14 pages this time, and 7 images!

In Chapter 5, Hans begins his new life as "Florian" at Castle Salgen. There's a healer with a mysterious draught, a master-at-arms who doesn't pull his punches, and a mother who smells something she can't quite place. The danger in this chapter isn't loud or bloody. Instead, it's delivered in small glass bottles, three times a day.

This is a slow burn, the way all the best fantasy is (in my most humble of opinions 😉) - Zoe is planting seeds here that will bloom into something unforgettable.

This novel explores power, identity, and survival in a medieval world that's similar to our own — but not quite. Working with Zoe on this continues to be one of my favorite creative projects. Her writing is fantastic, and I'm really in love with bringing her world to life with the art.

As usual, in the attachments you'll find two formats:

📱 EPUB (for your Kindle/phone)📄 PDF (classic!)

As ever, we’d love to hear your thoughts! 💕

Ohhh the pace of this story is at... turtle speed... ❣️

You have only uploaded the EPUB format twice there is no PDF format

Pet Jeffery

That's true. I don't know whether it helps you, but Zoe has uploaded it as both epub and pdf. But now that I look, the epub file is much bigger than the pdf. I'm not sure that makes sense.

Unfortunately not since I’m not a member of Zoe’s Patreon ☹️😞

What says Helosia eventually recognizes it as the draught they give a woman going through menopause?

Ellen Mellor

I love the slow burning of the story. We're really being given the chance to get to know the characters. And I love the acknowledgement of the original source of oestrogen and the reason that 'Premarin' is called that... Like I said a slow burn but still much faster than trans health care on the NHS. And far more enjoyable.

Gemma

Couldn’t wait. Just read the chapter. Certainly a slow burn with subtle elements of intrigue developing around the Queens suspicions. Interesting to see Hans already showing symptoms suggesting a loss of masculine size and strength. Emory, your art work is superb, very realistic, it’s like watching snap shot images from Game of Thrones.

The queen is suspicious and rightfully so

With Chapter 4, I posted the same comments both here are on Zoe's Patreon. But I suppose that, really, I should comment on the story on Zoe's Patreon and the artwork here. Last night, I read the chapter on a paperwhite device which, of course, displays the images in monochrome. I was struck by how well they work without the colour. Liberation has something of the quality of a fairy tale (stories originally far darker than they seem after the Disney treatment). When I was young, such stories were often illustrated in black and white (sometimes with a coloured frontispiece). Before reading the chapter, I looked at the illustrations in colour on my Emory tablet. Then, reading the story on a paperwhite device, they were in monochrome. It felt very much as though I'd looked at the coloured frontispiece before reading and then seen the internal black and white illustrations as I read. That worked really well for me. This chapter includes only one feminine image (of the queen). I love Emory's feminine images, but it's interesting to see a few more masculine pictures. Not that I'm asking for boy pinups!

Loving this and so glad tha it’s taking the time to tell the story, giving us the space to get to know and care for the characters. When’s the HBO Max series coming?

Emory Ahlberg

That's an excellent theory, ender. Maybe they gave it to her mother?

Emory Ahlberg

I imagine she might be even MORE suspicious in a few months when Hans starts to look even more like her. 😉

Emory Ahlberg

🤣 Thank you, Ellen! And, yep, poor Hans is being given the equivalent of ye old-fashioned HRT. I'm really looking forward to you all seeing where Zoe is taking the story.

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Gemma! That's definitely the vibe I'm going for - although I can guarantee it will have a much, much better ending than GoT! 😉

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Pet! I can totally see how reading them without color would give it a different "feel." When I finally am able to publish Taylor Made, it will also likely be in B&W because color printing is too expensive - I'm glad to hear the art still works!

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Crystal! You know that I'm a big fan of letting a story breathe... especially stories where the character is undergoing a huge physical and even psychological change. So I'm really glad that Zoe is taking her time, too! 💕

Pet Jeffery

The Liberation artwork works for me in B&W. The Taylor Made artwork is in a rather different style. It's great, but not so photo realistic. My hunch is that the Taylor Made artwork should work better than the Liberation artwork in B&W. But that is no more than a hunch because the Taylor Made pdfs are too large for me to email to my kindle library, so I've only seen them in colour. If you're thinking of publishing Taylor Made as a B&W book, I think that you should buy a paperwhite device, if you don't already own one, produce Taylor Made files small enough to email, and then send them to your kindle library.
