The cover for the second book came out.
PhoenixLu is amazing as always. The book should be going through the second round of edits now with the release date to be in October. I'll have more when it comes. Here's the summary:
Rioran is a Kass'na'vah, king of a magical race, and his kingdom has been frozen by Olde Magick. Along with his brother Viron, the only known survivor of the attack, they travel across Meedia looking for leads to these mysterious practitioners of an eons dead magic.
Their quest hits a snag when Rioran meets his lifemate, a dying seven-year-old vampire noble named Liari Varian. To save her life, he gives her his blood, binding himself to her. Now he's stuck, physically incapable of leaving her, forced to watch from the sidelines until she comes of age and he can continue the search to free his people.
The world doesn't remain idle while he waits, however. Tensions between races are building, war is brewing, and behind it all is a mysterious organization bent on eliminating all magic in the world.

I have a short story 'Dune Whispers' that takes place in the Arcanus World that I'm hoping to hear back on soon. I'll post information about that later.
