The Magic of the Lost trilogy is complete!
Touraine is a conscripted soldier, born in the colony of Qazal and raised in the heartland of the Balladairan Empire. She was a child when she went to war for the first time, and her only goal for the future is to rise in the ranks of the Colonial Brigade. That all changes when she and the other conscripts return to the colonies to crush a rebellion, and the ties of blood and magic prove stronger than she thought.
Luca is a princess and her uncle is a usurper. If she wants to claim her throne without civil war, she needs to earn it—and she’ll start by quelling the rebellion in the south. Then, she’ll move to problems closer to home. All she needs is help from a soldier with flexible loyalties.
Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and on battlefields, Touraine and Luca haggle over the fates of nations. But some things aren’t for sale.
Lucky for you, these books are. You can get all three books of the Magic of the Lost trilogy, anywhere fine books are sold.

🎧 Audiobook of the Week🎧
If you watched Arcane and immediately needed more Ambessa, this is the one.
Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf by @clclarkwrites is set inside the League of Legends: Arcane universe. Warrior. General. Mother. Ambessa Medarda has led armies, slain legendary beasts, and walked into the realm of death for a vision of the throne. But before she can rule an empire, she has to survive her own family. A cousin who knows her sins. A daughter she keeps underestimating. A clan title she has to bleed for.
C. L. Clark is a Nebula Award-nominated, BFA award-winning author. This one's built for anyone who loves their fantasy fierce and their politics personal.

MAIL DAY! MAIL DAY! MAIL DAY!
Been waiting all my life for this! Or at the very least, since I knew it existed. One of the books I’m most excited about this year (I made a list, you can look at my list, it’s on the website, you know the drill.)
If you haven’t read #blacktonguethief, go do that, meet my beloved wife Galva, then #thedaughterswar, and then come back and meet me here.

Remember this? Ah, good times, good times. Please also see @marceline2174’s art on the subject. Ahem.
Jokes aside, I’ve finally written about writing Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf, the Arcane IP novel! Including the demystification of how I got into it and how much of the work is canon (spoiler alert: all of it! At least for now). Read more at the link in bio.

Finally got a dice tray! And desperately needed storage. It came just a week later than my big DnD weekend but it will have another time to shine. This beauty comes from @sphinxstationery.
Scroll to the end to see it uh at current capacity. 😅
Featuring gifts from friends and readers, and the sterling dice makers @soulforge.dice and @noekcleardice.
So uh…how many dice sets do you have?

Book mail!
@grimdark.magazine physical subs are very sexy, you should subscribe.
@hanfrankan #ASnakeAmongSwans is also very sexy, so you should preorder it.

It’s #transdayofvisibility and six weeks ago almost exactly, I got top surgery! For those who don’t know, six weeks post-op is usually when you get the general “all clear” from your surgeon, so it feels like a lucky confluence. A sign.
Even though I haven’t swung a sword or a kettlebell or run for six weeks, I feel fantastic in my body. I’ve spent about 82% of that time shouting, “I HAVE NO BOOBS!” Or asking my friends if they “want to see my tits” (being good friends all, they said yes). Now you get to see them, too. You’re welcome.
This is a very personal thing and I’m a firm believer in personal boundaries, but this #tdov it seems especially important to remind people that their votes to “protect women and girls” are bullshit and the dollars they spend on wizard school franchises have real and harmful consequences to real people.
For example, I’m from Kansas. When I go home to visit family, the new drivers license restrictions mean driving might be more dangerous for me than before, because I may not “match” a police officer’s idea of my gender marker. And when these restrictions, these bathroom bills, pass in one state, others are emboldened to push further. Hate is contagious but so is care.
So, hi. I’m here. Just like I’ve always been.
(NB: I still don’t care what lists you put me or my books on. Women, nonbinary, trans, dykes to watch out for, whatever.)
Props to @ryanjessiman for the tattoo (2023). It’s sitting perfectly.
Also lots of thanks to the friends who showed up with info, check-in texts, snacks, swords, and daggerheart. ❤️
