CLOAK OF ILLUSION now underway!

Now that GHOST IN THE TOMBS is out, what’s next?

My next project is CLOAK OF ILLUSION, which will be the twelfth book in the CLOAK MAGE series. I am now 50,000 words into the rough draft, which puts me on Chapter 8 of 21.

Without giving away spoilers, if you read the eleventh book, CLOAK OF TITANS, you know that a fairly significant number of ongoing plot points got resolved in that book.

So what will happen in CLOAK OF ILLUSION?

A movie studio is making an epic film about the life of Kaethran Morvilind called Morvilind: Mage Fall. Nadia absolutely hates the idea and refuses to have anything to do with it, but the High Queen wants the movie to happen, so it’s going to happen. But when there’s a murder on the set, it’s Nadia’s job to figure out what’s going on. And she rapidly realizes that something much more dangerous is happening.

Meanwhile, Victoria Carrow is in a haze of despair and apathy after the events of the last book. She is forced to snap out of it when an obscure power wishes her to steal something for them in exchange for the cancellation of a debt. Except Victoria realizes that the theft is only the first step on the road to something much worse.

If all goes well CLOAK OF ILLUSION should be out in November.
