Hi Svetlana! My apologies for the slow reply. I inadvertently overlooked this the last few times I checked in on Goodreads.
It's hard to say when the next book will be out. I'm well into it, and the writing is going swimmingly. But I write fairly slowly (though consistently) so I would hate to speculate and then be wrong. My dream is to one day make a living from my writing, which would speed things up considerably. Book Two does have a working title, and I believe when all is said and done the working title and the final title will be one and the same. My plan is to reveal the title in my substack newsletter in the coming weeks/months.
Until then, I hope you'll consider reading my novella, Last Performance at the Three Dragons Inn, which is set one-hundred-and-fifty years prior to the events of TPOTYT. The novella reveals the origins of Shayla the woods witch. The novella is available for free through my substack newsletter. Paperback copies are available on Amazon. I wrote Last Performance at the Three Dragons Inn before I wrote the first word of TPOTYT. It really motivated me to write the series.
Before I finished writing TPOTYT, I also wrote a second novella set in Ragar Or entitled Falling from a Golden Sky. I'm going to put it out before the releasing the second book. It will give everyone a sneak peek into life at Kalandragote, which will feature heavily in Book Two.
As for your other comment, there will be some (ahem) unaliving in the second book, haha. Fingers crossed for your favorite character(s). :)
