Flames of Stone PREORDER now live!
Some curses cannot be broken. They must be faced.As a teacher, a wife, and a mother, Anna Atticus Stone craves peace. But being a warlock champion means protecting the kingdom. It also means watching over her unruly daughter, Thia, who’s fallen for a boy.
A boy who happens to dabble in—of all things—necromancy.
When that boy—and a deadly figure from Anna’s past—involve Thia in an illegal warlock tournament, Anna must consider dusting off her dueling skills. But not all is as it seems, and when Anna discovers Thia has been cursed, she finds herself in an epic battle for her daughter’s soul.
A battle that drags the entire family into Hell.
Anna faces her worst nightmares in this spell-binding and emotional finale to the Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone, which delves into the life of one of the most beloved characters from the bestselling series The Arinthian Line.PREORDER NOW

I cannot express how excited I am about Flames of Stone. The book, which clocked in around 225,000 words (about the same length as The Arcane Artist), delves into a crucial — and difficult — part of Anna’s midlife, one I was not sure I would have the courage to tackle.
But I did it. A year of solid work thus culminates in my twelfth(!) book, and the finale to this series. Although this book ends with Anna being fifty years of age, I wrote it in such a way that you can then jump right into Arcane, as everything else that happens between Anna turning fifty and Augum stepping into the picture is discussed in The Arinthian Line series.
I feel that this book—in fact the whole series about Anna—exemplifies the most impactful times of Anna’s life that led to her becoming who she is in The Arinthian Line, while still feeling fresh and new (I do not believe that you will feel like you’re reading a “prequel”).
Writing Flames of Stone was an emotional ride, one I am incredibly proud of completing. There will be some tear-jerking moments. But there will also be a lot of new revelations, namely who Augum’s grandfather was (and thus the Lord of the Legion’s father), with a big twist as to why no one except for Anna knows his identity.
And of course, you will read about loads of new spells, as well as already familiar spells that receive a lot more detail. You will delve into new world lore and pick up some hidden easter eggs that hark back to series 1 and 2. It is a robust book, and I hope a fulfilling one. It certainly was for me writing it.
Thank you for all your amazing support over the years. Much more to come, including illustrations, merchandise, and more on the trio, who I will be writing about next! You’ll hear from me again soon.
All my best to you and those you love, Sever,

P.S. ART sendout coming soon.

Time for a reread!
Rereading the book that started it all: Arcane (The Arinthian Line, book 1). It’s in preparation to edit what I anticipate to be the last book of The Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone, on schedule to launch in December. Got to make sure all the world and character lore lines up. Have to say, the adventure still holds up! :D

Title announcement for third book in the Anna Stone series
Just finished writing the first draft of the third and likely the final book in the Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone series! Which makes it the perfect time to announce the title:

;)

Four pieces of exciting news
1. ILLUSTRATOR: I’ve hired an illustrator to start illustrating the trio/other characters for you, perhaps some scenes (if it works out, that is, and you guys enjoy his style). I asked the fan-run discord server to conduct a snap poll as to who you wanted done first, and the overwhelming consensus was . . . drum roll, please . . . Leera Jones! A great choice to start. So I’ve put together a dossier along with a smattering of quotes she said (which some of you kindly helped me collect), and will send it along to the illustrator today.
2. STORE COMING SOON: At long last, after years of questions as to when it will happen, my wife and I are putting together a small print-on-demand store. I’m hoping that these illustrations, along with others, will be put on some merchandise. Hopefully this merch will lead into some really cool and unique stuff that you guys have been asking for for years. More news on all that soon.
3. AUDIOBOOKS SALE: Two out of the four audiobooks for the Fury of a Rising Dragon series are half price for a limited time. You can snag Burden’s Edge here and Champion’s Wrath from the same site here.
4. CHRONICLES OF ANNA ATTICUS STONE, BOOK 3: Anna’s third book, which I will release the title of soon, is coming along swimmingly. Already 140,000 words in. It’s a family-oriented plot that steadily thickens, with one grand adventure in the latter third of the book. As usual when writing, my characters have taken me in a direction I did not anticipate. Anna is no exception, as she is strong and independent woman (she’s forty-nine years old in this book, just prior to taking on the headmistress job).
That’s all for now! Feel free to reply to this if you have any questions or comments :DAll my best to you and those you love, Sever,

Quick news on Anna Atticus Stone, etc
Things are progressing nicely with Anna Atticus Stone’s third book. Super exciting to write her during a critical period in her life, when she’s forty-nine years old, has just been offered the job of Headmistress of the Academy of Arcane Arts, juggles an unruly teenage daughter with little motivation and a big secret, a distant husband, and villains chasing after her scion—all while solving old mysteries that just might lead her to an ancient place. Book title announcement coming soon.
Once Anna’s third book is out, I plan on delving back into the trio: Augum, Bridget and Leera. I have grand (epic!) plans for their next escapade, and have missed writing them greatly. But in the meantime, writing Anna is a privilege, a challenge, and a true joy.
Some more book news: for those into audiobooks, Prodigy of Thunder (Anna’s first adventure) is on sale on Audible until Mar 16th.
Hope you have been well,
Sever

Anna book 2: Cover and blurb reveal + preorder
Warlock Anna Atticus Stone is on her final year at the academy. As head of student council, academic prodigy, and champion arena dueler, she seems the perfect pupil.
In reality, Anna is grieving, overwhelmed, and so lonely she talks to herself. Above all, she fears assassination if people find out her father’s dying gift to her was a scion. Only seven of these powerful artifacts exist, one in each kingdom—a precarious balance that maintains peace.
That peace shatters when a kingdom steals a second scion and invades its weaker neighbor. Anna feels compelled to act, but that would mean facing her crippling fears, a quest into the unforgiving wilds, and risking her kingdom becoming a target of war.
Driven by the memory of her father, she must find the one thing eluding her thus far . . . courage.
C O M I N G D E C E M B E R 2PREORDER HERE
The paperback should be available on release day.
The audiobook is scheduled to launch April 11th, 2023. The preorder for it will be available any day now.
