It was a simple enough word, and one Elijah keenly understood. He felt it bearing down on him like the weight of the world rested upon his shoulders. Yet, he knew that he couldn’t act with haste. There were to...
2025-07-14 15:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostEagle-eyed readers might notice that we're starting the eleventh book in the series here. I can't tell you all how awesome it feels to finish ten books in the series. It's super gratifying to know that people are still enjoying...

Zeke could have simply willed himself to another location, but, for two reasons, he chose to ride with Pudge. The first was that he wasn’t entirely certain where they were going, but the second came from a desire for connection. Howe...
2025-07-14 13:00:18 +0000 UTC View PostElijah was alone, but he could feel every single person he’d inducted into the grove. It wasn’t just his locus, either, though he’d come to recognize that it was difficult to tell the difference between the two sensations. Instea...
2025-07-13 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostMore than two hundred people sat before Elijah. On some faces were expressions both reserved and reluctant. Other expressions ranged from awe-struck to haughty. And still others were almost entirely blank, and Elijah could only d...

The word was a ubiquitous constant, and for every creature in existence. For the unthinking beasts, it was as simple as “time to eat” or “time to sleep.” But for sapient entities, it garnered much more meaning. ...
2025-07-11 13:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostElijah awoke on a bed of moss, but it wasn’t in his treehouse. He opened his eyes to see a canopy of blue leaves above him. Motes of dust and pollen danced in the rays of light peeking through as the chirp of various birdcalls filled...
2025-07-10 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe very concept that reality was made of threads was a bit misleading. From Zeke’s perspective, it was true. That wasn’t to imply that what everyone else saw was any less real, though. Rather, it was as if everything existed...

Zeke existed, and yet, he ceased to be.
The silence was deafening, the nothingness blinding in its lack. There were no thoughts. No senses. No stimuli of any kind. Even the threads ...
2025-07-09 13:00:18 +0000 UTC View PostFloating in the center of the cave, with huge strands of kelp tickling his skin, Elijah focused on the facets of his mind. For the most part, they were identical. Nine incarnations of the same diamond-like gem. He knew that repre...

2025-07-08 13:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostBefore Elijah left Argos, he stopped by Atticus’ store and emptied his Arcane Loop and Ghoulhide Satchel and sold anything he couldn’t use. As it turned out, the stakes he’d taken from the war elf encampment were nearly worthless, and ...

No matter how hard he pulled, the threads that comprised Aja’s tree form refused the budge. The first few had resisted as well, but he’d managed to pry them loose. Severing them took a bit more effort, but in ...
