MobileTyphoon asked David Estes:

Hello, I read your Fatemarked series back in 2021 and recently read it again. After completing it a second time, I continued on to your Kingfall series. These are two of my favorite series of all time! Recently learned that you're writing another series in the same world. Absolutely looking forward to it! Will it also be thousands of pages long? Thanks.

David Estes Thanks so much for all your support and enthusiasm for Fatemarked and Kingfall! Yes, I am currently working on the next 5-book series set in the same world, The Forsworn Oath. Book 1, Forsworn, will likely be released in September or October of this year, with the first sequel, Heartsworn, to be released shortly after (both books are already written). I'm about a third of the way into the third book, Stormsworn, so I'm making good progress! To answer you question, YES. These are also going to be long, sprawling epic fantasy novels. Forsworn clocked in at 263,00 words, which is more than a thousand normalized pages. And Heartsworn is even longer at 292,000. The final three books will likely be just as long or longer. So like Fatemarked and Kingfall, this one should keep you busy for a while!

As a small token of my gratitude for your support, I'd love to send you some signed bookmarks. If you're interested, e-mail your mailing address to davidestesbooks@gmail.com and I'll get them headed your way :) :) :)
