Hey Matt,
Thanks for asking. None of the existing books provide the full details about that particular incident...however...I'm currently working on a new series, "The Rise and the Fall." It's a trilogy and basically sandwiches between the books of the Legends of the First Empire and the Riyria tale. It basically covers the all of the empire, which would include the backstory for Esrahaddon, Jerish, and Nevrik. As such, it also lets you see the events you speak of, so you'll know the fun details if you tune in for that installment.
I'm only about 70% through the first book of that series, Arrow of Death and if you follow my review of it, you'll see how I'm progressing through the story. So far I'm really pleased with it, and I'm looking forward to where the tale takes me (as it never goes exactly where I intend ;-)

Hi Michael. I love your books and writing style. I especially love the anti-grimdark feel of your books. So many current fantasy books just depress me. I remember reading somewhere that you write books that you would enjoy reading yourself. Given I love your writing style I was wondering what other authors you enjoy reading?

I share the joy that is your work every chance I get. Have you ever thought about turning your world into a role playing game campaign setting for games like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder? I know someone who would likely be very interested in taking on the project if you are interested in exploring the idea. And I for one would love to have my own adventures in your world.

Hi, Michael! I loved Age of Myth and am looking forward to reading your other books. Do you have any advice on world-building? I am writing a fantasy novel and while a lot of people I know find it fun, it's kind of intimidating! Do you plan out the history, world, and cultures in your books before you start writing? Or do you write first and see where that takes you? Thanks!
