Mages of Royas Bay: Chapter 1, Part 1

Becca Lusher

Welcome along to the start of a new series and a new world! The Mages of Royas Bay (Book 1 of the Mages of Wrystan series) is another high fantasy world, but with magic, mages and mage-beasts. It also has knights, witches and other interesting things thrown in along the way.

I used to class it as MG, since the characters are a little young for YA. However, as you’ll see by the end of this chapter, things are a little dark at times, so I’ll say it’s teen fantasy and leave it at that.

As this is a bit shorter than the Wingborn books, updates will be Fridays only, unless I feel the need to speed things up. More information can be found on the Serial page. Hope you enjoy it!

Quick Question (and a Poll)

Becca Lusher

Is there anything I can do to help you right now? In reading/escapist terms, that is.

It’s a tough time for many, lots of people are scared and worried, others are fed up of being stuck indoors, and there’s never a bad time to read more books, right? So here are my plans or potential offerings. Feel free to add your own thoughts below. And don’t forget to vote in the poll at the end!

  1. Sale!
    This would be a sale on the Dragonlands books for two weeks, including making Blazing Dawn free for the duration (everywhere except Amazon). It should also, hopefully, tie in with the release of Book 5. After that I’ll do a two week sale on the Wingborn series. After that… we’ll see.
  2. New serial!
    While I would love to make this Aftermath, the bonus Wingborn novella, I’ve promised that to my Patreons. I would also love to make this the new Overworld series, but that isn’t close to being ready to enter the world. Instead this will be a new series, from a new world, but still hopefully every bit as enjoyable as the Rift Riders. Personally I love the characters in the Mages of Royas Bay, and I’m hoping you will too.
  3. Both is good!
  4. OR Something completely new and entirely fluffy!
    I can’t actually make any promises about this because I’m busy with editing right now, but wouldn’t it be nice to read something where nothing bad happens? I don’t write these sorts of stories often, except as very short things, but it’d be nice to give it a go. It would probably be a weekly update and I’m not at all sure what it would be about. I have been considering writing a Rhiddyl adventure novella to explain how she runs away from the Cleansed Lands to join the Rift Riders, but I’m not sure if I could spin that out for very long.
    If you have a suggestion/request, feel free to post below. It might spark an idea in the brain, although I can’t promise it.

All right, them’s your options. Vote, please! You have a week to think about it. And if there’s something else I haven’t thought of, please let me know.

And that’s it from me today. Thanks, everyone! Dhori’s Homecoming tale will be posted on Friday and Sunday.

Take care, my lovelies xx

World’s End Delay

Becca Lusher

Hey, everyone, I’m so sorry there haven’t been any updates this weekend. Unfortunately I’m dealing with a serious illness in the family and will be for the foreseeable future.

I wanted to get the latest chapters ready for you, but time has sadly not been on my side lately. I’ve been flat out all week and simply haven’t had time to edit anything. (My poor writing laptop hasn’t been switched on for about a month. I’m sure it’s forgotten what power feels like.)

I’m hoping to get a little time over the next week to edit a bunch of chapters and schedule them for release, but lots of things keep breaking alongside all the other stresses, so I’m not making any promises.

However, if you don’t mind reading the unedited version, you can find the newest chapters every week on my Patreon. My paid Patrons are already two months ahead, but I’ve been unlocking chapters in time with all the other free updates, so you can always read them over there if I fail to update here. (Don’t worry about the stars. They’re all scheduled to unlock whether I update the links page or not, so click about and see where it gets you ;).

Thanks, as always for reading, and sorry again for falling behind.
