The Unnecessary Victory Released!

The third book in The Brightest Shadow has been released, bringing the first trilogy to a close! This one is nearly as big as the first, bringing the whole series to almost a million words. 

Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BC25MYVH

Description: The arrival of the Hero was worse than anyone could have imagined.

War has been simmering for generations, but the Legend is about to make the violence boil over. Forces gather from across the continent and even across the world as complex conflicts are forced into narrow categories. For the first time, Tani and her allies have a chance to make a difference, but that will pit them against one of the most dangerous warriors in the world. The Zeitai wants war as much as the Hero, and the result may really be the end of everything.

Time is running out, sending everyone scattering in different directions before the final battle. Tani seeks out a near legendary warrior, Slaten delves into forbidden ancient histories, and Celivia struggles to balance her conflicted loyalties between both sides. Everyone they've met, Expanse or mountains or Maenhu, will find themselves tested. Because, it turns out, the Hero can still make things worse.

  1. Nearly as a big very much underselling it lol its like a third more than the first. 1000 page brightest shadow has brought me a lot of joy

    I am 400 pages in and i am loving it! Definitely my favourite series of yours. Its always exciting to see how different cultures practice sein, and in the case of the Fools, how the cultures that spring up from the practice of sein.

    1. Unfortunately, that's the Amazon page count being unreliable again. The first and third books are almost exactly the same length, but I think the 1000 page estimate is more accurate relative to the average book.

      I was worried this one might spend too much time ramping up, so if you're enjoying it at that point, I hope you'll love the landslide at the end!

    2. Damn that really was a landslide. Though i have to say i enjoy the process for itself. I honestly had no idea that the amazon page count could be unreliable, that's very weird.

    4. Glad you enjoyed the ending!

      Amazon page counts is reliable for print books, but whatever reason when it comes to ebooks you can just never be sure.
