Welcome back!
Spoiler Warning! If you haven’t finished Storm Wings, you don’t want to start reading this just yet.
It’s Aquila’s War Weekend!
We’re back! Despite the longer than usual wait, Mhysra, Lyrai, Mouse & Co are back and raring to go. Time to kick things off with updates across the weekend!
But first, a few quick things before we begin.
- The Storm Wings ebook is released on Sunday, but you can pre-order it now.
- I’m removing the rest of Storm Wings from here today, but you have until tomorrow morning if you’re reading on Wattpad.
- As with the rest of this series (apart from Wingborn) Aquila’s War will only be free for a limited time. I won’t be taking it down until after the end, though, I promise.
- Spoiler warning! If you haven’t read Rift Riders, Dragongift or Storm Wings everything about this book will spoil you, so be careful before clicking on any cuts. The blurb lies below this one.
- Usual update schedule of Fridays and Sundays begins next week. However, if you’d like to read more now, my Patreon readers get early access and are a month ahead.
And with that out of the way, welcome to the fifth Wingborn book!

But in case you’re still not sure if you want to give it a go yet, here’s Chapter 1, Part 2 to tempt you along. Say hello to pensive Khennik.
And if you missed the first half, catch up here.
Cloud Cursed
A year and a day after Storm Rising, may I present to you…
After five hundred years of drowning the Overworld, the Cloud Curse is changing. In their arrogance and complacency many dragons thought they were safe, but no longer. The Curse has shifted course and is attacking each dragon Clan in different and insidious ways. Elder Khennik kin Blazeborn is determined to stop it, but in the vast libraries of Spire Heights it’s hard to know where to begin – or who to trust.
Spire Heights offers the Rift Riders a different threat: boredom. With no trade treaties to negotiate and few feasts to attend, the ambassador doesn’t really need them, leaving the humans with far too much time on their hands. Still, Lieutenant Nera is confident that for once she can keep out of trouble, because surely nothing dangerous ever happens in a library…
Return to the Dragonlands as curses, conspiracies, friends and foes combine in the Riders’ most mysterious adventure yet.

Read on for the first part of Chapter One.
Patreon
All right, everyone, my Patreon has finally arrived!
It’s a bit sparse over there at the moment, but I’m working on it. If you sign up today you’ll have immediate access to the Prologue and Chapter 1, Part 1 of Aquila’s War, with more to follow tomorrow. It’ll be another month before you’ll get that here or on Wattpad, so if you can’t wait for more Mhysra and Co, this is the place to go.
Before I explain the tiers in more detail there are a couple of things to point out:
- You need to be over 13 to open a Patreon account, and over 18 to support anyone. If you are under 18, you will need your parent/guardian’s permission.
- All pledges are listed in US$ and exclusive of VAT. Please factor that in when picking your tier. It will tell you exactly how much you’ll be paying (in US$) before you commit, but it’s still nice to know in advance. If you need to work out your own currency rate, xe.com can help.
- This is a monthly charge. You can change your tier up or down, leave or join at any time. Some things will be time dependent, but others will remain available for the foreseeable future. Just remember that you pay up front, so if you’re going to leave, do it towards the end of the month so you get the full benefits :)
Okay, Patreon FAQs can be found here, so head there if you need more info. And with that out of the way, let’s see what you could get.
World’s End is done!
94,954 words down and the book is finished.
Not only is this the end of the book, it’s the end of the Wingborn series! YAY!
This isn’t the end of the Overworld, of course – I haven’t finished the Dragonlands series yet, and I’ve already got a novella idea about what happens with certain characters after World’s End – but this plot arc is done. Done, I say!
Which is pretty big, because I’ve been playing with the Wingborn/Rift Riders stuff since 2003 after I had my first dream about a girl and her dog in a skiff being dragged across a sea of clouds by her giant eagle. Things have certainly changed a lot since then, and there were years when I didn’t touch the books, but still, the ideas and characters have been with me for a while, so it was nice to finally get to the end of it all.
I am exhausted. Although that might have more to do with what I did with my celebratory morning off…
Serenaded by skylarks, watched over by buzzards, surrounded by primroses and the first budding leaves on the alder trees, with bursts of sunshines overhead, I do believe that spring might actually be here.
I hope your week has been going as well as mine.
Take care, my lovelies!
