(view spoiler)[Hello Michael, I am huge fan of your work and I am curious to know if The Rise and Fall series or Age of Empyre will pay true homage to Raithe? He was my favorite character in The Legends of the First Empire and I feel he was built up as a character only to become a sacrifice and a place holder in the series (a rock on a hill). I was hoping for a reunion between him and Tesh, so my hope he get a moment to shine again. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[While it is true that Raithe is only one of an ensemble cast (and therefore not the star of the show) I would disagree with him being a place holder. As for how he might show up in future books...well that would lead into spoiler territory, so I won't say anything on that front. I'm glad you enjoyed his character. I really liked writing about him.

Hi Michael. My question is, will there ever be a continuation of Raithe and Persephone's relationship? I know you stated that it was never your intention to make them the center plot point. I'm sure I speak for many of your fans when we say we were enamored and truly engrossed in their love. I know I came close to tears a few times. Would you ever consider a short story or novella?

Riyria is the standard for me in fantasy. I mean it. I finished Revelations and Chronicles some time ago and the fellas still live with me. THANK YOU. But First Empire is great in a different way. There seemed to be more life lessons in that series, more thoughtful quotes. Was that intentional? Every day I think about Malcolm's quote about us believing the most outlandish lie that supports... Seriously, every day.
