All about the dragons

Hey!

This is Ran from the Curse Breaker series with your book news! To start off, the Rogue Gods Kickstarter is off to an amazing start! All the rewards are available, so you can head over to grab yours now and you’ll get the stretch rewards too!

What are the stretch rewards?

Well, that’s the question isn’t it? We didn’t plan any because we had no idea if anyone would want a trilogy about an ex-war god, a fallen angel turned librarian and Rosalie, Robin’s headstrong daughter. (She’s the most likely to save anything because she does not quit.)

What books are in the trilogy:

  • Gateway to Hell– the book with all the heists.
  • Summon the Gods– the book where Rosalie brings a dagger to a god fight (we don’t recommend that. Please don’t attempt this at home, just read about it.)
  • Storm the Gates– the book with all the dragons (there are 14 dragons in this book. The 15th dragon was away on vacation and couldn’t help out. This is also the book where some important gates get stormed.)

So back to the stretch rewards. What are they?

Well, stretch rewards are things offered as the funding total rises that enhance the book and adds value. While we’d love to upgrade to printed or sprayed edges, the printer we use doesn’t have that capability. And that would only upgrade the print books. But we want to upgrade the ebooks too.

There are 175 color images, 86 full page B+W images, 12 celestial drawings across the three books in the trilogy right now.

So what can we do? We had two options:

  • add more art to the ebooks, paperbacks, and hardcover books! ← The characters like this option
  • or Melinda writes the story behind how a certain spell ends up in a certain character’s hands. You find out in Storm the Gates how it happened, but it’s a quick conversation, not something that’s shown.

Who will decide what we do?

Backers voted for more art. We put together an update with the art we are adding to Gateway to Hell, book 1 of the Rogue Gods Trilogy. You can check it out here. You can still back the Kickstarter and get the illustrated editions too!

These special editions won’t be available anywhere else, so back the project now to get your copies!

And now, the cast of the Rogue Gods Trilogy would like to present another except for your reading pleasure. Please welcome Argeaneal to the digital stage.

Who’s Argeaneal? He’s this guy. Will this angsty angel get a happy ending?

Argeaneal is a fallen angel, the head librarian of the Library of Forbidden Knowledge, and the guy who threw Guerren in jail after the ex-war god snuck in to steal the Book of Names.

(Remember that from the excerpt we shared many weeks ago?)

Argeaneal loves the Library of Forbidden Knowledge. In fact, he built it, and it houses more than dangerous knowledge. So he’ll do anything to protect it, even fight a gateway spell that tries really hard to land on the library’s main building and flatten it. 

But the gateway is more than a nuisance. It’s something that shouldn’t exist. He should destroy it before too many demons escape from Hell through it. But how do you destroy a magical tunnel that burrows through realms?  

Are you ready to meet him? Then let’s go!

We’re diving into chapter 21 so you can meet him. He appears in earlier chapters, but this is the first chapter from his point of view from inside the Library of Forbidden Knowledge, his natural habitat.

***We had to remove the excerpt since the book is now publishing on Amazon. Get Gateway to Hell now.***

We’ll be back with more.

In the meantime, don’t forget to back to our Kickstarter and back the Rogue Gods Trilogy. It’s fully funded, so you are guaranteed to get your copy when the campaign ends.
